Advise for BH : inverted to SP ?

my BH is
- very hit-ish
- take balls off the bounce alot
- most of my moves are punch block types , when the game opens up , i just end up punching everything that comes to my BH.

it looks pretty similar to this , except my bat face isnt as open as his when taking the ball that low.

he is using a SP though

so , should i switch from inverted to SP on my BH ?
since iam not fully utilizing the properties of an inverted.

and any recommended SPs ?
i only have 1 in consideration atm ,
that is clippa 2.0 , the rubber which shaoyu is using.

Go for it! SPs are very effective and if you're not looping, you're more or less wasting the potential of that spinny inverted rubber, not to mention losing points on return of serve, which is significantly easier with short and medium pips.

I have experimented with SP in BH myself on a number of occasions for the reasons that you mention. I have found TSP spectol or Adidas blaze spin to be very easy to use coming from inverted rubber.

Thanks for all the advice !
time to drop by the TT shop and get a SP rubber

i tried so hard to train up my backhand loops , but they only look good in training .
in matches , everything goes out the window. my BH topspin motion have this horrible start up motion that i have to cock back my wrist and flick it out.
and this only works when i have ample time to set the move up.

but when it's just straight punching , its just a small snap punch straight forward(or whichever way iam facing, easy to change direction too), no fancy stuff going on in my head.

Spinlord Degu,Adidas blaze spin,TSP spectol Raystorm ,Challenger Attack
will drop this list on the shopkeeper and see which ones he has :)

definitely gona be a interesting training session this weekend

TSP spectol speed is a really good short pimple rubber for attacking and generating spin and a lot of variation, it's a good rubber to transition from inverted to short pips for offensive play but can be used for defense too if desired.

Juic Pips Ace is what you seek. Allround control sponge with medium speed. Agree Spectol is very fast. A step up from Pips Ace in speed is BTY Challenger Attack.

I have also thought about trying a SP rubber, but I am a fisher/lobber who likes to work from off the table.  What are the drawbacks of using SP from off the table.  I will sometimes use a slow spiny loop from off the table with my backhand, if I can't step around and it a forehand loop. Or I just hit a high lob with my backhand. 

Well, you really can't fish with SPs. If you're far off the table, you're best bet is chopping, which is what I do. It's actually effective and fun. If you get into a rally, you will want to be in a position to hit the ball at its peak with SPs... and sometimes this might be 4-6 feet back from the table, depending on your opponent. So, it's not like you have to stay, hugging the table, though of course you can.

They work for some SP choppers but I do not know of anyone who fishes/lobs with SP from off the table.

Very true.  SP become a big liability on one side if you back up at all, unless you are one of those very rare people who is so quick you can take most shots back there with your forehand (like Tan Ruiyu),   or, maybe learn to chop with them like Liu Song, which I think will fail unless you are already a very good chopper.  If you are not comfortable staying very close to the table pretty much all the time (like Wang Tao or Ai Fukuhara) then SP on the BH are not for you.  That factor also means you will have to adjust your forehand.  Most people good with SP on the BH side are quite short.  I think that is the reason (although there must be some exceptions to that).  I would second Acuda Dave's recommendations for good SP to start with coming from inverted.  Remember, tricky ones for your opponent are also tricky to master.  Raystorm in particular is very easy to use quickly coming from inverted, but if you stick with it, you may not develop a proper SP stroke.  But the OP may already have that.

If you have never tried pips then TSP Spinpips is the closest thing to inverted...

My Korean coach is really into sounds too. It's actually very helpful to listen to the sound and you can know if you've hit the ball correctly or not, but this is whole nother topic.
