Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a j-1 jpen that they could give some reviews on. Also, would this blade be good for jpen rbh? thanks

Lost my post. :-(
I have J-1 in Cpen. It's about 11+ mm thick and quite heavy to carry two inverted rubbers. The wood itself feels interesting - it "sucks" the ball in and then "spits" it out. However, it's somehow inconsistent on high speeds, so I can use it only for slow allround play with long pips on one side. If you want to try a single ply, I would suggest MIT Cypress from ping-pong.tw - they have nice Cpens with a-la Jpen handles, so you can play RPB normally and they are thin enough to have comfortable grip. I gave up trying using RPB on Jpens because I come to conclusion that Jpen style requires really fast feet or at least really fast hand, so lighter setup with a single rubber is a must to Jpen. |

I was wondering about the backhand side of the blade too. Does it have cork on that side, or is it mostly just wooden like the forehand?

The back side of J-1 Jpen is covered with cork, like on most (all?) traditional Jpens.

Does anyone have any experience in converting a J-1 to RPB?

Whenever I put a rubber on the back of a jpen blade, the balance gets messed up and it weakens my forehand. I would then have to put weight on the handles. Not worth it. The smaller blade area of a jpen is also a handicap for brush looping.
If you want to play RPB stick with cpen. Jpen is better than cpen for driving and pushing, but for everything else cpen is better. Edited by cotdt - 11/06/2011 at 5:38pm |

How is your RPB with long pips? What kind of long pips are you using? I dont want to play exclusive RPB, I just want to be able to hit it if need be. I would like a decent loop capability off the backhand

I want to let you know first that I use a lot of the traditional backhand. I am not an exclusive RPB player on the backhand side. Palio CK531A OX black is what I use. It has a good amount of grip so I can create some spin. I mainly use it to add variation to my serve receive game. For defense I use it for passive blocks close to the table and I also chop with it away from the table. Passive blocks don't have much spin reversal but it is still great for confusing my opponent. My favorite shot is the flick close to the net. It is fast with low spin and very difficult to return. The J-1 makes a very nice sound when hitting with OX pips and it feels even better.
