The probability of your success like Johnny Huang with two side short pips as about as high as a serial killer getting away faking their DNAHassi wrote: on Tuesday November 21, 2023
Hello short pip lovers!
I'm an amateur player that is thinking about doing something crazy. I've never really been a fan of the looping playstyle and opening loops has never been my strong point. So why not go for short pips on both sides? I believe I've found the rubbers I wanna go for (der-materialspezialist: spinfire 2,1 and 1,8) but I'm unsure about a blade combination together with double pips.
I've played all different rubber and blade combinations (mostly Stiga since the club I used to play with are sponsored). Stiga Innova, Boost TX, 999T, Sanwei Gears, Short Pips, Long Pips, DHS 7, Allround Classic to name a few.
I'm looking for something fast when I want speed, when punch blocking and smashing for example, but slow and controlled when pushing and passive blocking. I've heard a lot of people talk about 7 ply, that it's the way to go for short pips but what I've read about inner carbon layers really resonates with what kind characteristics I want from a blade. I'm not sure if I'm skilled enough to notice any mayor difference, both 7 ply and inner carbon seem to be fast enough (depending on material ofc).
My budget is around 80€ and the blades I've been mostly interested in has been:
Pimplepark Impetus
Sanwei V5 Pro
DHS 301
Stiga Clipper
Sanwei FEXTRA 7
Can you recommend any of the above blades or something else that isn't listed that has the characteristics I'm looking for? Thanks!
Using the same type rubber (any 6 rubber types > Spinverted, Antiverted, Short pips, Medium Pips, Long pips or Super Long Pips) is geenrally a bad idea fro any amateur player.
