Review of Friendship/729 HighpointServe and return: Despite the obvious only gripy topsheet serves are often underestimated. It is the whole repertoire of spin possible and because of the flat throw angle most serves are very effective. Due to the rather flat curve aggressive returns are not easy to play. An aggressive flip is not very easy. Better make it the ball short and respond in a next step with a topspin. Pushes with a lot of wrist have a lot of spin and are not easy to loop.Block, Counter and Smash: A strength of the rubber is the safe play with the rotationsless strokes. Compared with a sticky surfaces this strokes can be very safe and hard. Those who previously played with China coverings, you will enjoy the qualities of this rubber. As with many Asian coverings High Point needs a good hand and a secure eye for the incoming ball. If the ball is high enough, however, a powerful blow spin is the highest of emotions with this surface. Loop and Counterloop: Despite the good opportunities with rotationless balls this covering has their real strengths in a game with lot of spin. Because of the flat trajectory is not easy to opening and it should be played with more feeling than with brute force. With a lot of movement acceleration a lot of opponents are surprised about the fast loops. They note that the ball is falling down very quickly because of the extreme spin after the contact with the table. The ball is often not taken and there are many quick points. The best quality of the rubber is the ability to counter loop. Because of the relative spin insensitivity you can counterloope with the High Point extremely effective at the table. Push and Chop: As mentioned above, a wide repertoire of variations interfaces. In very flat movements can be produced much backspin and with a more steep racket is a kind of "pushing" possible that hasn't almost nothing in the balls. Although the rubber is more offensively oriented, it will also be well for defensive balls from the mid-distance. As almost no difference to expect much wrist is needed to keep a lot of backspin The following is some short reviews of strokes on a scale of 1 (min) to 5 (max) Loops: 4; Countertopspin: 4+; Hard topspin: -5; Block: 4+; Counter: -5; Smash: 5; Serve and return: -5; Push: 4+; Defense: 4; Conclusion: How to obtain used this assessments, the High Point is a covering that is very fit for a play stroking the ball at the highest point of the curve. This means ultimately that this surface per se is suitable for a game at the table or a near half distance. Hope you will enjoy this wunderfull rubber. May 05, 2008 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
