Yes it is Bob.  He has been very helpful on each blade and rubber set I have purchased.

Lately I have been tired of changing the invert every month or so, and slowley changing my stroke to more of a drive/smash.
I was able to take out a old sheet of 889 and put it on myACB300, it took awhile to get used to, but I love it!!!
I love how insensitive I am to spin and just hit through most balls, However I don't loop with them like some guys here.
Anyway I bought a sheet of TU and tried it out, found it has better control, but has less speed and spin off serves.

I am thinking the next setup for me would have to either a hallmark aurora or a Dr. N Barricade... and pairing it up with either a daweii 388b or a TSP spectol??? 1.8mm is good so far and I don't wanna go much faster for now.

I don't even think about looping.  With pips I have flat hit. hard flip both short and long, topspin, sidespin soft, and sidespin smash, and chop when I have to.  That is enough for me to do or even think about, and is what I believe is the pips way.

I hit it sharply with sidespin to clear the net without a lot of energy to give the other guy a high ball, or I slowly topspin to the opposite corner if my timing is working good and I am sure to give it a little punch.
