1 HR AGO - I actually played this for a short time when I was just discovering pips and wasn't sure about how to play as a chopper. I actually loved the rubber back then as I tended to stay at the table (didn't know how to get into a chopping situation) and this helped me control the ball in chop blocks and active blocks.My impressions now that I am more versed in LP play, and having revisted this in the recent past:Slow and grippy, you have to be active, but it's okay for passive play, but angle is important. If you are thinking of more passive, I'd look elsewhere. P-H is the best attacking (or close) Lp i've used. I think if I ever were to lose my mobility, I'd try to use this full time. But...and big but...it requires an active stroke to be super effective. So if chop block and hitting is your game, it's a good choice. If I wanted to play like Deng Yaping, I'd chose this rubber, but for now I am going to continue to chop while I have the legs to do it.Statistics: Posted by Japsican — Collapse

6 HRS AGO - This is why the word 'rhythm' is sometimes used in TT (and why your opponent's rhythm can be disrupted or taken advantage of). Your backswing is moving in time with the flow of the ball. It shouldn't get ahead or behind or you'll be more likely to make mistakes. It's just like rate of weight transfer when moving to music. If you move too early or late, you're off time, and you'll have to do more work to correct yourself.Statistics: Posted by WorkoutMontage — 21 Sep 2017, 20:08 Collapse

4 HRS AGO - I think the balance and the overall weight of the blade are 2 variables which result in a few different combinations. For exemple : Heavy blade - Top heavy / Heavy blade - Handle heavy / Light blade - Top heavy / ...The general weight is the sum of the blade weight + weight of rubbers + glue.The balance is affected by the same weights, but how they measure around the point of gravity. So for the same weights, there is a possible setup that is more or less topheavy than another. (heavier handle, lighter blade surface, lighter rubbers, smaller headsize,...)Some people like heavy, some people like light. Most people seem to confuse top heavy with heavy in general when holding a racket. And most people enjoy playing with a lighter blade as long as it plays as fast and controlled as their heavier one. (imho)I have tried all sorts of combinations and I have found that when trying to create a modern offensive racket, it's hard to keep the weight down and the balance towards the handle. Collapse
