Wonder anyone has try Nittaku Do Knuckle or Super Do knuckle? which one is better for chopping or attack?
are there any difference between both?

thanks

stevenchoi

Do Knuckle is better for chopping and super do knuckle is better for attack

do knuckle has smaller pips and vertical arrangement

Super do knuckle on the other hand, has slight larger pips and horizontal arrangement

I use super do kunckle on my backhand , chop block and punch is quite good, the ball comes out without spinning but wobble, making the oppenent hard to find the corrent position to return

Right thanks all. I have already tried so Knuckle. I use it for chop and counter attack. I just wonder would be it better if I switch to super do.

stevenchoi

WITHOUT " Super" is more suitble for chopping
As for counter attack.
WITH" Super" is more consistent with serial attacking

but for sudden counter attack , they are also the same

what is the thickness of sponge are you using  ? 0.5mm??

would you recommend 0.5 or 1mm for chopping? or they are about the same

stevenchoi

I am using "中" thickness (super do knuckle), but i use it for attacking and somtimes chop block

But  I would recommand "極薄" but not "超極薄" for chopper, as for better control of ball if your opponent is smashing hard

And if you chose "超極薄" , it may be harder for backhand counter attack with do knuckle, unless you twist your racket to the pimple in side for backhand attack

Any肥，chopping need sponge.

Btw you can try some real 'long' pips for chopping.

Super Do Knuckle kind of half long pips? (Personal opinion)

Aleung10

Yeah right. I used to play with long pips though. I wanna switch to medium and trial

Thanks

actually compared to usual long pips such as victas P1V

do knunckle does have more characteristics of the traditional long pips, more than victas long pips

you can chop the ball with very low arch direction going to your opponent, which is more difficult to return

寫工

However long pips will have more stability?

Different tactics.

stevenchoi

Depends on the texture of the pips, and the hardness of the sponge

some long pips are hard

do knunckle is soft medium pips

the softer the pips , the more stable for chopping
