Hey,

i want to ask you if you have an information about it, or some advices, and also i wanted to know if its possible to play with short pipes on a Viscaria blade, and if its possible, with product.
thanx every one =]
P.s bryce-fx on the forehand goes well with shorts pipes in backhand? if not' wich normal offensive rubber fit it?

Get 802-40 or clippa. They are excellent choice for someone coming from inverted.

clippa is a nice pips, but from what you say, i dont think short pips is a good choice for you

if you are not attacking enough, it is way harder to attack with short pips

short pip attacking takes a lot of control and a perfect stroke, so it is not for the fainthearted

Globe 889-2 is also good and cheap. Worth a try.

I don't know what you are going to gain by using short pips (by the way, it is NOT "pipe" but "pip").

If you are thinking of just trying to confuse your opponents with dead ball blocks, instead try long pips. Block with long pips could be downright deadly.

Idk what was said above, something about sidespin and SP aren't good at blocking.
 
Depending on the sponge, SP can be used as a blocking tool, or a flat attacking tool. Thinner sponges are great for a blocking oriented BH. Thicker ones are meant for Straight out attacking. But all SP's are good for blocking. They help to cancel out the spin of a ball, or hit through the spin. Sometimes, there are short pips with a slight deception factor.
 
But bottom line, if all you do is block with your backhand, Short or probably even Medium pips are a good option. However, keep in mind that if you even topspin with your BH a little, you're better off finding a slower more controllable inverted to steady your blocking. You might not gain much from using short pips otherwise.
