Where can I get Globe 889 max thickness?

Suppliers can order it in from the factory in any thickness, but the 1.8mm seems to be a popular thickness that is commonly used, not sure why...

Have tried the 889 in any thickness? There may be a reason why 1.8mm is popular, may be optimum for that rubber.

BTW the 889-2 may be another option, which is spinnier than the 889.

You can get Juic Neo 889 (which I'm pretty sure is the same as Globe 889-2) in max thickness from Paddle Palace for $24.95 a sheet.

Yes I have a sheet of Juic 889 SV Max, but in the midst of regluing, the sheet got caught to the blade and tore in two last night. I'm really looking for a similar replacement of that sheet... but Globe 889 always seems to be a cheaper buy.

Here's a pretty good deal:

Not exactly the same but a good deal none the less.

 

I only have the globe version, not the juic version. I'm told the pips are aranged differently?

Anyway, why get a non spinny pip like 889 then put it on a thick soft sponge?  I don't understand the mechanics here.

u thinking of -2 version? that is the spinny one

The 889 I've seen, which were the globe and juic standard versions, were both quite dead in terms of spin, although the topsheets are pretty fast.  I mostly see punch block penholders using it.

I am really looking for a pips-out that plays like Butterfly Impartial. 889 I found to be a somewhat similar rubber. For some reason I get a pretty good amount of spin out of it. Impartial was really good. You could even loop with it with good results.

The 889 is meant to be a spinny pip, the 889-2 even spinnier.
