I have always wondered which players are the favorites of each players using antis or pimples.

So, who is your favorite player? Non-anti or non-pimple players are okay too.

Wow - going into the wayback machine for that one. He was great to watch.

Mt favorites used to be the top choppers - Filus, Wang, Gionis. Their ability to chop the topspin drives of top players, over and over again, is phenomenal. However, recently my fave is Ayhika Mukherjee. Her style with FLanti and pips out (so she qualifies twice for your list!) is so simple and effective, it is a joy to watch.

I've been watching some of her videos and she's really effective. Use medium pips on the FH and gorilla anti on the BH. Two questions come to mind:
1- How easy is it to attack from FH with Dr. Neubauer KO?
2- I get the impression that Dr. Neubauer Gorilla is the anti most used by professionals or semis, which makes me think because it is a fairly old rubber...

He was the man when I grew up in Germany and the reason I was a chopper as a junior. I always loved his intensity and fighting spirit. Germans are loyal so he is still my favorite player!
If I had to pick a current player it would be Carlos Mühlbach who plays 2. Bundesliga in Germany.
