Your hate towards spinny rackets is absolutely ridiculous. Even calling offensive rackets "dumb" rackets is wild, as in low classes most long pips players dont really understand their own spin and are therefor playing a "dumb" game with immunity. Of course, after surpassing a certain level, just holding your pips racket against the ball will not work anymore against loops, which is probably the reason you seem to hate topspin players.

Im also quite entertained by your statement that defensive / combinded rackets are "smart spin" rackets and they are capable of any types of spin. In reality, I want to see you returning a topspin with topspin using your pips racket. The most "stupid racket" would be a long pips on both sides, as theres absolutely no possibility to create notable spin.

If we follow your logic, spinny but controlled allround topsheets must be considered "smart spin", as only they can be used to chop as well as to counterloop.


But back to your question, I would always provide kids spinny sheets on both sides to make them understand the concept of spin. Afterwards I would let them play against defensive material and if they wish, give them pips on one side. But learning to have an active playstyle on both sides is absolutely necessary. Can you name a single pro player who is not capable of playing a backhand loop?
