Lot of players get confused when they se the few penholders using it successfully on the forehand
Other players mistakenly go for short pips or anti for weakside (backhand )because short pips & anti can do a little bit of everything but medium pips is a far superior choice for that. But obviously since these honorary loopers are afraid of social rejection by robotNazis they stick to short pips or anti on weakside (backhand)
