Hey guys,
I've been playing with 755 pips for a long while now (4 months I think...) and I've realised that it really only produces no-spin and low backspin balls when topspin is hit against it. I also can't seem to put sidespin on it when I do those chopblocks. I'm now looking for a long pimple with more spin variation and possibly more spin reversal (and deception). I was wondering if the Saviga V would do this better or the Tibhar Grass or any other long pimple. I used Grass and it was more deceptive than the 755 but it's really expensive! AUD$50 a sheet for the OX. Thanks in advance! Totoro |

I found Saviga to be atrociously uncontrollable.

How so? Too spinny? Not spinny enough? Too fast? What are you used to using?

Let me preface this by saying that I'm definitely not a pips expert, so my opinion is of less value than a full time LP player.
I play with Curl P-2 OX, when I do play pips. I've played with other rubbers from the curl series, a few of the Feint sheets, and a few chinese LP's like 755 etc. I think most of the pips I've played with are a lot more control oriented than Saviga. That may explain my frustration with it. I bought a sheet of it and put it on a willow blade (slow wood) and I just couldn't seem to keep the damn ball on the table. I'm sure in the right hands it's very deceptive and useful, but I couldn't seem to get the hang of it. It did seem a bit fast (which boggles me since it was an OX sheet on a willow blade) but I believe I read that there is something particular about the rubber they use for these pips (also, it has a funny gloss to it). I've hit with grass a few times and it seemed a bit easier, but if you have the pip skills I'm sure you could make good use of saviga. |

Ok, makes sense. It's probably harder and faster than what you're used to. I was just curious. It's not a chopping pip at all. It's supposed to be a pretty offensive lp. |
