Review of TSP Curl P-1R

Review for 04-06 sponge.

I cant make a good review because i dont play pips at all but what i can explain are the issues when trying to play with this rubber on BH. During a NY and Xmas break i did try for 2 weeks to be a chopper and it did not go all 2 well :).

My first problem was a chopping motion on BH, in my mind it was very hard to do so because i wanted to top spin every single ball. Ok that was corrected sort of easy and quick.
Second problem was height of the returning ball. It got better in second week but not even close to a height of a good chopper. Back spin was ok which is about only thing i could do.
3rd and the biggest problem was positioning away from the table. When looping most people hit balls at the highest position so they adjust their distance from the table accordingly and hits come probably at the height of their shoulders of FH and slightly lower on BH. Well that distance does not work on BH chops because ball is 2 high for me. Maybe good chopper could chop from my regular distance but i could not. This problem remained for 2 weeks with very little improvement.

If you want to change from regular rubber (inverted) to pips be ready to put in some time and think about it deeply before you go for it :). In my opinion it would take 2 wing loopper at least 7-8 months of quality training to convert and become semi decent chopper.

All in all i dont regret it for a second trying but i think i wont be back to pips any time soon :).

I hope this helps guys and if you want to find out more about my difficulties (you thinking of doing it yourself) feel free to PM.

Enjoy TT, have fun :)
