Long time no post. Long time no play. Basically I am playing for the first time since covid.
I have come to the painful conclusion the push block lp game is not for me..

Painful maybe . But it is the wrong conclusion

Medium pips & wide pips are strictly forehand rubbers

Take a look at this webpage
https://ioctt.com/kg/s7.htm

It references wide pips (ika short pips) but medium pips for backhand is almost just as bad based on above table.

You just came back and are expecting instant gratification and looking for love in all the wrong places

Stop using slim pips or long pips with sponge.
Just go with OX . Spong slim pips or long pips are only for pro or semi-pro players
If only slim and long pips were that easy to learn

It takes time

You can also check out the webpage below
Click link > Say no to wide or medium pips on your backhand

It refers to wide pips (ika short pips) but you will see medium pips are almost as bad as wide pips for backhand as wide pips

Good luck
