I'm considering buying Globe 889 Short pips, and I want to hit alot of spin with these, so would thickest be best, or is it overkill~?

Also lets say I use DHS intensifier, will this make my pips spinnier?

I feel that 1,8-1,9mm is user friendly if you like to block and hit , but it depends on what you do at the table . That is really deciding factor of what the thickness of the sponge
should be.
If defense is your "Cup of tea" that no sponge is fine.If you attack you may go to 2,00mm .It is hard to generalize and say what is best for different applications. Borko&Son  ***Power is Nothing Without Control*** |

dhs intensifier will make your pips a little faster and spinnier but boosters/tuner will be banned in september. So you shouldn't use them anymore. You might get a supersoft custom Max sponge from cole either Quattro or Saviga.

I am telling you to try: NP-8 on 2.0mm or 802-40 on 2.2mm if you intend to spin/smash
If you like to block\smash/chop NP-8 on 1.2mm or 1.5mm or 802-40 on 1.8mm |

Well I'm more into spinning and smashing, and I know what pips I want, but would a thicker sponge w/ glue, will yield the most spin. Like a rubber with 2.3 sponge.

What would be the difference between a hard sponge and a soft sponge?
How about between a thin hard sponge and a thick soft sponge?

between 1.5mm - 1.8mm It offers great control, and good thickness to start of with when first learning short pips, later you can go thicker

Yeah best off sticking with the 1.9mm moristo Usagi
Royal in Maximum would be crazy, just the price he was offering it for ($10AUD) brand new
 .... but I think he was able to sell it off to 1 of the mountie guys Usagi
