Rare doubles

Hello coach

Recently,I watched a really rare doubles match. No player had a normal soft rubber.

They were equipped like this:

Player 1: FH antispin,BH long pips

Player 2: FH short pips,BH medium pips

Player 3: FH long pips,BH antispin

Player 4: FH medium pips,BH short pips

And there is a chance that I will play a match with some of them in a tournament.

So I want to ask: What is the diferences between these rubbers?

As a long pips user, I know well how long pips works. But I do not know the difference between long pips and the other rubbers.

Hi D K,

Take a look at our lesson on the Effects of Rubbers of some help with this.

That would be an interesting doubles to be involved with.

And what about "medium pips" ?

Your video does not involve it

And do you have any advice how to "beat fire using fire" ?

In other words,how to play a pips user using my own long pips?
