OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Just wondering what type of player is generally suited to short pips. We've got a decent player at the club who was very good about 20 years ago and just came back to the sport. Equipment has changed a bit in this time. He flat hits nearly everything but when hitting pushes often clips the top of the net. Would SP help with this?

Some days ago, I had a test trial with Palio Flying dragon which was suggested by Fadil. I definitely agree with him. It has very nice speed. It is faster than the most short pips and it has more control than other short pips. Flat hit with very good control. I immediately swapped my TSP super spinpips to Flying dragon. Unbelievable, the ball knows the place where I want to punch him.
I also can recommend it.

After struggling with SP on my BH for the past month, I switched my Spectol Speed to my FH and, voila, everything became natural and easy! At this stage, I'm thinking of making a permanent switch to a shakehand inverted BH / SP FH player. Mainly planning to attack, attack, attack on my FH, both close to the table and, if possible mid-court as well.

So far my Spectol Speed 1.8mm seems to be working, but was wondering whether people would recommend a different SP for this style.

Cheers
