Which blade is better for ANTI?

bump --> I know anti isn;t popular but there's gotta be someone out there who technically know which would be better.

if u really want to play with anti then by my experience you should use a softer blade

nice, thanks guys.

i think you are generally right alfie and ppgear...and its likely that I won't end up really using it. however, i was thinking it might be fun. i was wanting to just give them more dead balls and force some balls up and confuse them a little, setting up for fh. "constantly try looping their chops you will get better and better at it until it becomes easy" I know this to be true...and also know it will be the basis of any real progress I make. I just thought it might be fun to try on a bat that won't be my main setup.

I'm going to throw it onto the dawei wavestone...it is more practical than any real choice. (I have a red gambler 2.0 six shooter already cut for Dawei blade) The anti comes in only black. it will be fun to report back to you guys what happens.

On the xiom control 3 I am going with Energy GP 2.0 both sides. btw-- alfie, I just got the blade -- it is so light --super nice finish -- grain is nice on the xiom -- I am going against all of my impatient genes and going to lightly seal blade and wait to put brand new rubbers on it... could be another week! but at least I get to look at it!

Here is my "quiver":

I think a medium Layer will be top. With a verry hard Layer i mean the feeling is not so good! I have tryed muce kind of woods with frictionless LP, but at the end i don't use the hardest one, because you get no feetback!

Wow, that is some combo, what type of blade is it?

     Here is some more about anti.
     Watch some of Dr Ns training vids for his frictionless (now banned) rubbers.  He hits incomming chop using their spin to become his topspin. He blocks incomming topspin to create chops.
     For serve return,
     If you get a short chop serve, either push it back, (it goes back topspin) or use a lift stroke. (goes back topspin) When you push a chop serve back, enjoy the look on their face when they try to push it again and it goes straight up 2 feet.
     If you get a fast chop serve, block it, "don't swing at it", just hold the bat there and let the ball run into it. You can drop those serves short and they carry topspin.
     If someone brush loops at you, block it "right off the bounce", again NO STROKE! You can drop it just over the net and it carries tons of chop.
     No matter what serve you get, by blocking or pushing it back, they get their own spin back mirror image. Don't give up on the anti yet.

     For those of you that "think" you need a slower blade for anti, try the BTY Super Anti FIRST on any blade. It is not like alot of other antis. IT IS SLOW with a sponge that just kills speed. You could put it on a steel bat or a cardboard bat and it will reverse spin. It is slippery.
     Some anti like Ellen Defense have some grip. They will kill spin on most shots, only reverse on real hi spin shots, has enough grip you can even make a little spin with it. You WILL NOT make spin with BTY Super Anti.
     Yes, his new vids with the antis use the same tecnique as for frictionless LP. Hit chop, block top. I have not tried his new antis. I won't be either at his prices.
     The things I said about anti is for BTY Super Anti. Others are not as dead feeling (good thing) or as slow. I have heard good things about Tony Hold but have not used it.
     My main reason for writting this is to help "dauntless" since he wants to try the BTY anti. The BTY anti is alot more tolorable of which blade you put it on that LPs. The blade can make a HUGE difference with LPs. The characteristics of the BTY Anti over power any blade you put it on and become the main factor.
hpesoj07,
      I know a guy from Denmark that is a Very hi ranked player that uses anti. I wonder if there are more using it in that part of the world?
