I've restarted using 802-40 2mm, paired with Dr evil ox, on a Dr neubauer high technology balsa oversized blade. (a lot of Dr's I know lol), Light as a feather, it plays really really good. I've been a anti player tinkered with LPs, but after seeing hou yinchao play, re- looking at shorts.
@MHTableTennis2 жыл бұрын
Sounds like a good plan, you can do a lot of damage defensively with short if you get good at disguising heavy vs no spin etc

started following you on insta and found this video here lol. I love Lilly's club and played one tournament there:) great strokes and advise. I might actually change from lp to sp after watching how good Hou is playing overall with the possibility of attacking and hitting better. Thanks

I came back to this as I am trying out Rakza PO on nobilis pbo c abs frictionless anti on forehand. It s definitely easier to block the heavy loopers but I am mostly not very confident in hitting yet. Might be a good combo for me and I will try this out for maybe couple weeks before switching back. Main advantage for me is the lightness of the rubber versus the forehand rubbers I am currently using

Hi Coach, I am a senior over 70, been playing pp since retirement several years ago. Got a new coach one month ago and he recommended I switched to short pips forehand because my movement is slow due to age. I have absolutely no problem at all. I like my forehand so much, and I beat couple of people I had not before. I saw you using short pips for both forehand and backhand. Do you recommend using both short pips for forehand and backhand? Or only for forehand or backhand. Pros and cons. Thank you.

Hi Matt. Any suggestions on learning the forehand stroke for short pips? How do you build the hand speed you are talking about and how to keep the stroke compact? Thanks
@matthetherington76212 жыл бұрын
I think the best thing to do is start steadily and gradually build up the speed, it’s very important to build in some core rotation but it’s very quick and subtle
@matthetherington76212 жыл бұрын
To keep it compact I’d recommend almost no backswing, get your racket behind the ball and focus on driving forward only

I have been playing an inverted rubber on the forehand and long pips on the backhand for 10 years. I have now been trying short pips on the forehand instead of the inverted rubber for the last 3 months and have been much less successful since. Does it take a while to get used to using short pips efficiently coming from an inverted rubber or can it already be a good sign that this new combination (short pips + long pips) is bound to be less successful for me, won't probably help me in the future and doesn't probably suit my game?
@MHTableTennis2 жыл бұрын
Honestly I did a few training sessions with short pips on both sides and I found it very difficult with the plastic ball to dominate rallies unless I set up a significantly easier ball. If you can get enough hand speed with the short pips it can work out ok, but in general I think smooth rubber is much more versatile.
@zazenforever49402 жыл бұрын
Hi Matt. Are you using your wrist when hitting with short pips on the backhand? I dont mean flipping the wrist as with inverted, but hinging it forward when you hit the ball. Almost like slapping the ball? I read some places to use wrist and some say keep the wrist out and just use the arm? Thanks!
@matthetherington76212 жыл бұрын
I think in the beginning to develop and get a feel of the timing and touch the elbow is fine, but definitely to elevate your shots you will need a little snap from your wrist to add some bite

I would try working on that stroke first and see if you can make any progress with it, if not then short pips could definitely be an option.

I am a casual player of smooth rubber for both FH and BH. Until yesterday, I started using short pips on by FH, just to experiment things. What are things I need to bear in mind to switch from smooth rubber to short pips? My ball doesn't really have much power, as in the arc is shorter to the net . How to improve the power? Plan to stick with short pips on my FH. Reason to switch : rarely play hence don't want to frequently change my smooth rubber, plus short pimple got cheaper and good rubber like 802-40.
@MHTableTennis3 жыл бұрын
802-40 is still quite hard, the 802 series of short pips were more for defensive use, so its hard to create topspin as much - but it has great control and good for driving. Important to remember the need to generate more hand speed into contact and a sharpness to your contact, and most importantly play to the strengths of the rubber - easier to open vs. backspin, easier to control against topspin and also great for punching and smashing. The key to being great with short pips is precision and conciseness in your technique, more compact strokes but explosive!
