Dumbest of dumb (or Super Dumb) rackets & smartest of smart (Or Super Smart) rackets

I liked the topic thread below a lot

Click link >> Smart and dumb rackets and coaching malpractice

But it got me wondering as to whet are some of the best and worst rackest designs

[Gisela 2005]

A dumb racket would have the same type rubber & identical brand and thickness both sides.
The dumbest of dumb rackets would have identical rubbers on both sides of a racket.
Of course most of such stupid tackets are double inverted rackets in the hands of amateur players.
Even most pro playersdo not use identical rubbers on both sides of a racket.
These players have been so thoroughly brainwashed by the ITTF that they waste away their TableTennis with the delusion that human forehand can be identical to human backhand

The smartest of smart rackest would have spinny inverted rubber on one side
The other side (usually backhand) would be OX long pips (actual long pips NOT ITTF social slim pips)
And the blade used would be a smart blade

Why ? Because such a racket design provide the player with maximum possible (click link >) spin contrast (maximum top spin & maximum back spin) on the spin continuum scale

The smartest of smart rackest would have spinny inverted rubber on one side (usually forehand except if & when twiddling)
The other side (usually backhand) would be OX long pips (actual long pips bit ITTF social slim pips)
And this would be also an asymmetric blade

Why ? Because such a racket design provide the player with maximum possible (click link >>) spin contrast (maximum top spin & maximum back spin)

Exceptions are most older players & most para players who may have never learned to loop when they were younest.

In such cases the best you can do is frictioned wide pips with pips and sponge on one side (usually forehand) & and a frictionless type actual OX long pips on other side (usually backhand except if & when twiddling) . But if these players have developed very good serves using spinny inverted runner. they could still use spinny inverted on one side even if they never were trained to loop (top spin) in their youth.

This is also also the most lethal combination in otherwise younger players as well if they are talented enough to be able to use wide pips forehand.

If you have read profiles of posters in ITTF worship forums like TableTennisDaily or TT-News.de you will see that theer are lots of players who use dumbest of dumb rackets and trying to pretend like the ybelong in Top Spin only Olympic table tennis . It is quite hilarious.

I can understand brainwashed new players falling into this trap but if you have been in the sport for a couple of years , you have no excuse
