Playing defensively with short pips
Strategy

Hi Jeff and Alois,
I am starting to chop with short pips and I recently changed from both sides inverted rubbers. Any tips to helping me improve my game. Any match strategies? Thank you

Hi Rui,
The short pips will give you more control of the ball than the inverted rubber but not as much as you would get with long pips.
I think if you are using short pips you can also think about attacking and blocking with them.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
