Who uses short pips

I would like to know who uses short pips here, and if you are a defensive or attacking player.

Spectol Red 2.0 on Bh. Attacking with Bh most of time. Even Bh blocks tend to be more aggressive punch style rather than defensive blocks. Working hard on staying aggressive against higher quality balls instead of getting defensive.

Shakehand short pips in BH (Spinlord Waran 2). All-round style (blocks, drives, short game, pushes)

Booster SA is pretty fast and spinning. I can compare with TSP Spinpips Red same thickness. It is a bit less fast but spinnier and more sensitive to incoming spin. It has almost no deception but a good control, maybe as Spinpips Red.
Shortly I’m going to try Spinlord Waran 1.8.

I use a Friendship 802 Mystery 3, Palio AK47 Red (BH) and a Ma Lin Carbon cpen blade.

I use short pips on my forehand. Do you think the new ball is good or bad for short pips? I feel that you need to work harder to get a hard shot, But everyone need to Do that. I Do think the less spin of the ball suits counterhitting and short pimple play.

How different do you find spinpips blue and spectol blue?

I feel that you need to work harder to get a hard shot, But everyone need to Do that. I Do think the less spin of the ball suits counterhitting and short pimple play. I think it´s bad. I mean, when you compare with 38mm ball the new one is worse to play with SP. SP game has speed as main weapon and the bigger the diameter of the ball, less speed you will generate. The speed and spin is less for everyone. I think the less spin is most noticeable and that is worse for spinoriented players and choppers than for short pimple players i would say.

Sp players now win playing with variation and placement but I play with amateurs and the speed is there, its hard to return a sp smash close to the table the best example is mathias karlsson and hzw

I can agree that it benefits short pimple players if the ball have more spin since you get more help. Nowdays maybe you need to work a little more with the body, but everyone needs to do that. I still think short pimple could work fine today because we are not affected so much by the less spin compared to others and it is easier to counterhit the ball closer to the table in general. I think Harimoto would not be near as successfull with the older ball, even less with the 38 mm since his close to the table counterlooping game works well and is easier with the new ball. But maybe he could have adapted. 

Yes! I Do think pushblockers need to attack more But one option would be to try anti instead. I find it amazing that really really good players seem to have problem how they should play against anti and how to read the spin.

He is fun to watch and is really good with the anti But i so not think his forehand is so good.

I agree. I play with short pimple on the forehand and block, smash alot and think the new ball suits this game pretty okey.

I also use Short Pips now on my Right Hand BH, Legend 105 to be precise.

The reason: I am looking for longer rallies to practice my inverted FH counterhits and my normal LPs on BH (Grass) usually end the point against my intermediate-level partners. Either I miss or the miss the next shot.

My cream-sponged Legend 105 is only 23g and does not change the weight of the bat too much.

I just watched a game of her. It does not look beautiful when she play but diversity is fun and as long as it works for her. She seem to get very good effect on the backhand, but she could barely smash with forehand i think but maybe she was very passive in the match i saw.
