Hello Everyone!

I have to tell you an idea has popped up in my head that maybe I should start chopping. I have seen chopping players with great efficiency and made the conclusion it can be a hell of a hard time to deal with choppers, even if you are decent at forehand topspin sometimes.
I was playing with anti for 6 months and used that for chopping too, which pretty much great, but maybe long pimples would be far better off for that purpose.

My question is, which do you think would be the best long pimples for mainly chopping for an 7-ply innerforce blade?

As for my style, I would be twiddling the racket, as I am trying to learn how to backhand topspin, because during the anti time I could not really. This is something I want to develop for this chopping kind of game.

Thank You in advance!

Considering the fact that the current pips for chopping are mediocre and so are the blocking pips,it is really difficult to give some advice.

In my view, we should be discussing what the best sponge available is currently.I bet for the old p1r sponge.That's why p1v is NOT, NOT , NOT an exact replica .

Sponge,Sponge,Sponge,......is the key for chopping within ITTF regulations.Let alone the nifty tricks done to the blade......

I am puzzled Igor does not insist on the ITTF enforcing an x-ray device in racket control,REALLY.

Since I am thinking of going back to anti to chop with that, with that I was pretty much a good chopper when I got to such style.
