thank you for your documentation of your progress...your videos makes me curios to try an Antispin on the backhand.....currently i am playing a Stiga Cybershape carbon that i like very much ...i saw some videos where you used this racket too...please keep up the good work with your videos....Grazie mille e saluta la bella Italia
Hi Onur!! I think that antispin has an advantage against a LP chopper (if you are able to use antispin aggresively) but not vs a LP close to table player. Unfortunatly i'm too passive with my bh. I need to improve my attacking anti skills.
@@AndreaAschi I use a quick anti punch shot on my backhand, I notice you don't really attack with anti at all. Your using ABS here with a large sponge I assume? Im currently using SpinLab Vortex with a .7 pink sponge. That gives me good opportunity to attack/punch with my anti.
@@AndreaAschi with frictionless it s hard to play against long pips as the ability to drive is less than with pips . I would still drive the balls coming from long pips with anti however don’t know if that is a viable option as you are using a much slower and thicker sponge whereas I use .9 mm thus the blade is doing the actual drive than the sponge . I think it s also tough as Lp does neutralize the spin and the ball can go high when blocked with anti as the ball has weird trajectory and no spin most f the time. I am considering playing with LP against opponents that play with LP my track record is very good when I do that as driving and punching through back spin balls and brushing gives more attacking power on both ends . It also could help if you switched your forehand to short pips as you can drive those balls coming from long pips with ease . However it s tough when conducting a spin oriented game as the long pips blocks and slows the game down with more control when smashing is a low probability shot with inverted rubbers on
Good match. You can’t always be comfortable as a anti-spin and pimples player because not everyone you face is a offensive, inverted player. In a perfect world for LP/anti-spin is that everyone they face uses inverted rubber. This match proves that LP/anti-spin players need to be able to beat their own playing style because they’re not the only ones in the world playing this style, just as much as a inverted rubber player needs adapt, practice and train to beat LP/anti-spin.
Nope, they don't need to beat other LP/anti-spin. They just beat inverted players who put in 10x the amount of work, and then if they lose to a couple of weird players - they don't care. That's why people use trash rubber.
If you have time, practice the swiping backhand kill stroke that you can do with antispin against dead spin popups. Your opponent left a lot of high balls to your backhand. Your forehand is game is good! But I think you could even be better if you were more aggressive with the antispin (hard pushes to the backhand and swiping motion kills)
I agree with Techno. Incoming back spin balls can be returned more aggressively because your ball will have top spin when using anti. Can you twiddle to attack the high balls?
Good match! I thought you won until it was over. You seemed to have better forehand offense but attacked mostly to his pips. What was your strategy and where did you think you had an advantage? Also, you twiddled anti forehand a few times. Was it random, to mix things up, or just when you couldn’t read the spin off his LP?
Dear Andrea, thank you for your video. I am playing with Tibhar Grass dtecs OX on BH. I am wondering if antispin rubber is more deceptive. What is your opinion?
3:46 funny :D same principle as his own rubber but he still made the mistake. that is the annoying thing about table tennis. Even though you know it you still do something else because the sport is so fast that its mostly muscle memory playing. Do your opponents usually know that you play anti before you start playing or do they rather find out in the first set? :D
Tough match, pleasant to see but you must have felt disappointed. Too many FH top spin misses in the end, I'd say. However, i never saw you that kind of windshield FH stroke with your anti. Is it a new ammunition recently added to your arsenal? Nice one
Wow what a match! Might have been the most entertaining one so far. Too bad you lost, in the end he got quite comfortable with the game and rallies. Did he play with sponge on his LPs?
I know this is the type of content you like Nick!! 😜 He deserved the win, after the first set he was better than me. Not my best forehand performance. I'll make you happy by telling you his racket 😀 - Donic Def Play Senso - BTY Tenergy 05 2.1mm - BTY Feint Soft 1.0mm
Yes, it makes sense because his forehand game is based on offensive shots and slow passive shots far from table, he is not a fh chopper! 😉 Only Joo See Hyuk can chop with Tenergy 😆
@@AndreaAschi haha nice. I wouldn't say he was the better player. I think you just got a little frustrated. It could have gone either way. Thanks for info on his equipment. I just bought his blade 2 days ago so that interesting 😂
@TT-lover def play is an extremely slow blade you need to have something with catapult even to put it on table from distance. JS Hyuk used to use Tenergy 64 the longest projectile rubber available at the time.
@TT-lover yes exactly I wasn’t aware of ithe world of difference before I bought a defensive blade when I was using Longpips . Needless to say I am back to offensive setups
Agréable à regarder avec une bonne régularité même si l'anti-top ne conduit jamais en lui même à un coup gagnant du revers mais prépare plutôt celui du coup droit. On voit bien qu'il s'agit ici d'un appui au coup droit et que cela résulte bien d'une combinaison visant à la complémentarité. Intéressant sur le plan de la stratégie de jeu.
Not enough low short blocks. There was one in the first game that was great. Your opponent was quick. Also, you seemed to have more problems than usually with the chopped balls.
Gran bel match, classico confronto di stili diversi e spettacolo assicurato. Andrea tu ti muovi meglio e trovi con facilità la posizione per tirare di dritto …cosa che invece dovrebbe perfezionare il tuo avversario che resta a mio avviso troppo attendista. Se mi posso permettere…lavora un po’ sui servizi, varia effetti velocità e lunghezza cambia anche la posizione al servizio per non dare riferimenti. Ok? Ciao
Pablo!! Mi stavo preoccupando, é un po che non ti sento. Spero tutto bene :) Il mio avversario credimi si muove come un gatto, lui facendo quel tipo di gioco semplicemente fa movimenti diversi. Quanta ragione hai sui servizi, ne faccio discretamente 2 e li ripeto alla nausea. In partita mi viene la strizza. 😅
@@AndreaAschi mi sono fatto un giro di Omicron, sai per essere alla moda. Ma sto bene , grazie. Ormai il tuo gioco di block e aperture di dritto è consolidato …per cui mi fa piacere che concordi sul servizio dove hai tanto tanto margine di miglioramento.
You can't win with just one pruning with long pips...There is no attack on the right, there is no pruning either, and it does not attack with pips on the table...Andrea go go go
ANTISPIN with EXTREME disruptive effect:

Dear Andrea, thank you for your video. I am playing with Tibhar Grass dtecs OX on BH. I am wondering if antispin rubber is more deceptive. What is your opinion?
Antispin is more deceptive due to its surface with no friction!
@@AndreaAschi Thanks!
Stay with Grass D'Tecs ox or try Dr. Neubauer Trouble Maker. You have much more options. Many players kann easy shoot on antispin.
Gran bella partita, mi sono immedesimato nel tuo avversario, da puntinaro quale sono 😉🏓
Very interesting to see you play someone who doesn't care about the antispin at all :)
My opponent is very good against anti! (In fact I lost) 🙃
3:46 funny :D same principle as his own rubber but he still made the mistake. that is the annoying thing about table tennis. Even though you know it you still do something else because the sport is so fast that its mostly muscle memory playing.
Do your opponents usually know that you play anti before you start playing or do they rather find out in the first set? :D
Unfortunatly my opponent knows that I have antispin and how to play against it!! 😅
In the beginning of each match it is mandatory to tell your opponent what rubber you have…and to be fair!
- twin dragon
Long pips vs anti spin? The 2 monsters in my nightmares are fighting 😱
To be honest though, chopper isn't so bad, but I struggle against long pip and anti spin blockers. Totally traumatized :P
Antispin/LP are evil! 😁😈
Hi Andrea, what blade are you using right now? Is it special blade for anti rubber?
Hi Anton! I'm still using my Stiga Carbonado 190.
I will try special blade for anti soon. 😉
I'm using 2.1 mm on Jackpo blade
Tough match, pleasant to see but you must have felt disappointed. Too many FH top spin misses in the end, I'd say. However, i never saw you that kind of windshield FH stroke with your anti. Is it a new ammunition recently added to your arsenal? Nice one
Hi Pascal! I do that weird anti fh stroke only against defensive player because i have the time to react and twiddle the racket. It's super effective!

How thick is the ABS sponge?
I don't use the original sponge.
I use a pink 2.3mm sponge (SpinlabItalia)
@@AndreaAschiThanks
Till today, i am wondering what is your brand and model of anti spin rubber?
My antispin:
- topsheet = Dr. Neubauer A-B-S
- sponge = SpinlabItalia pink 2.3mm
@@AndreaAschi how are you glueing top sheet and sponge? Some tips? :)
Hi Nico!
I link you the video with the entire process. It's very simple 😉 just like gluing inverted rubbers.

It was a third-class tournament match.

Bonsoir Andréa. hello how do you remove the sponge from the rubber ?
I recommend you to buy an adhesive remover spray.
Or you can try this: th-cam.com/video/Bw7anZlrscE/w-d-xo.html
How do you fix again rubber with new sponge ? Whats glue you use for ?
Peccato però bella partita 🔥🔥

What its the sponge and blade
Stiga Carbonado 190
Pink sponge 2.3mm by SpinlabItalia
@@AndreaAschi what is the difference between 2.1-2.3 mm
@@asen8610 2.3 is slower with more control
@@AndreaAschi but is less disruptive effect?
They are very similar...it depends on your blade. If it is fast pick the thicker sponge
Which ABS is that?
The first version (A-B-S) but with a custom sponge.
Feint soft can be used for attacking. I wonder why your friend kept chopping high ball near the net.
How tick feint soft????
1.1mm!
Not enough low short blocks. There was one in the first game that was great. Your opponent was quick. Also, you seemed to have more problems than usually with the chopped balls.
It was the first tournament with a new sponge. As you noted I had some problems.
Considering how high that ball is bouncing of your block/slice, I'm thinking a lot of those defensive shots should have been attacks
Yes, you are right. My opponent has been patient to wait for the right moment to attack.
The guy in red gets slightly more respect because he at least pretended like he could hit the ball with normal rubber. That's why he lost by the way.
Who is the blonde at the table next to it
