EDIT: my bad i meant long pips

You can use both. I believe Tackiness Chop rubber from Butterfly is inverted.

i freakin love joo with his chopping, as well as his forehand. a deadly combination of attack and defence

Wow, the ball moves so slowly after being chopped with a lot of spin. It very tricky the opponent to loop it because if they don't do it right, it can easily sink to the net. A lot of time people end up missing the ball completely or hitting it too far. However its really tricky to chop if the opponent is a fast attacker. Most of the time when choppers lose a rally they hit it too far because of the opponent's speed. Also, they usually end up really far from the table so a lot of people just tap it over the net sometimes.

Ancient videos on how to chop:

They are really old and the spin is not as intense as current pros because the rubbers back then were not as good but it tells you how to do it including the angles of your arm when you swing. There's no sound and it has Chinese subtitles but its not really necessary to understand.

lol on the bottom it saids important leader in chiense =D
this is really percise lol 45 degrees arm arc

really? i couldnt tell if it was 45 angle but i could tell that it was close. (anyways raymond i just noticed that u got 73 posts!!!!.)

times have changed, firstly the ball theyre using is the 38mm while we use 40mm so it reacts differently

its slightly heavier, i like the new ones anyway. the old one is so small that i might just miss it

i find the smaller ones better because i can put mroe spin onto the ball. anyways i think that the whole purpose of making the ball bigger is to suppress the chinese players which puts tremendous spin on the ball.

Speed glue was also an issue.

theres no argument over that, ittf officials admitted that was the purpose. but its ok, chinse players still dominate. i bet the team would accept further increase in diameter to get some competition or its going out the door in olympics

In the 2004 Olympics, the Korean player (Ryu Seung Man I think) won and not the Chinese sadly. Other countries are getting closer and closer to being on par with China such as Korea, Japan, Sweden, etc. I'm not including the countries where Chinese players represent them. 38 mm balls are lighter and smaller but most pros got used to the 40 mm ball within a year. I saw an interview with the ITTF CEO on TV in China talking about the change of 21 points per game to 11 points per game and the change to the 40mm ball, but he denied that it was to suppress the Chinese and said "It's to create a more exciting match." I personally don't believe it though. Anyway, we should bring a 38mm ball to the club one day just for fun =D

they admitted it later on
its kinda useless having korea win, its still an asian country. waldner retired, there arent any emergence of european power since he retired

Timo Boll? I have some 38mm balls but our rackets are built with technology for the 40mm ball making it pointless.

thats what the company saids, but iono...its just heavier doubt they would develop new technologies for that

Bring one in anyway just for fun =D anyway its getting off topic.. post some videos

New rising star of china. Attacks so aggressively but defense relatively bad compared to others in the team.

I love his play style except for his defense skills. He beat Micheal Maze without even losing a single game. He is living my dream. =O

Its a video on the first sponge paddle used in a tournament. The way they tell the story sounds like a conspiracy or a UFO story. =D Anyway, its amazing how table tennis changed in 50 years. You can tell from the video that the players in the past are not even close to the current professionals.
