Hi Def-attack,
Tango Defensive 1.2mm on the backhand - switched back from pips about 4 or 5 months ago (that's why I sometimes hit weird backhands)!

Ther were about 60 Aussies in Stockholm, but mostly 50 years+. You have a beautiful country..

Thanks for sharing. Your forehand attack is devastating

thanks - I put lots of "weight" behind it!

OK, I asked because of your signature. It indicates that might have two setups that you switch between. Why did you change?

Yes, we are somewhat spoiled with a beautiful contry and we can stroll around freely in the forests or almost wherever we like. We tend to forget that this is not the "default" mode for most people...

I found that the pips were only helpful against players to a similar level to me, and below. Playing against people of even slightly better standard, they were a liability - they just played to the pips, and chose which ball they wanted to hit. I must qualify though that I only really ever stay at the table, and was never very good with pips...

I realised at the beginning of the year that I was actually able to attack with my backhand with inverted, so this became the goal for the future - rather than having to run around and play a forehand..
