Hi JacekGM,
Thanks for your response and suggestions...

I use LPs only on the ca. 0.5 mm sponge. |
That's another aspect I'm wondering 'bout - whether to opt for an OX, or to get a minimal sponge (like 0.5mm or 0.6mm), and how much of a difference it would make.

My own take on National Pogo: avoid it. True, it is very easy to use, but it is even much easier for the opponent to do with your shots whatever they want.
For me, 755 was much better, considering the average of control and difficulty for opponent. Similar holds true for 388d-1. A few guys in my club use TSP LPs or MPs for close to the table blocking style. Maybe have a look at these, even P1R can work well for the blocking style even though it is meant primarily for modern def/choppers. |
My thinking is - Start off with a easier LP, and then progressively move-on to more effective, but difficult to use LPs.. Initially, I just want to get a feel of an LP, cause, at this point, I don't even know if it'll suite my game, or whether I'll be able to adapt or learn the technique...
The 755 and 388-1 comes recommended by many, on this thread.. So, I'm open to even these..

Also, there is a bunch of very interesting LPs from Dr N. if you don't mind spending some. Another option is to start with a tough one, like the Tibhar Grass DTecs and go through some suffering on the tough road to excellence... |
Since I'm only going to be trying to LP, initially, I surely don't want to start-off with advance and expensive ones like Dr. N and/or DTecs...
