You'll get all kinds of recommendations on what to use. Whatever you choose, try to have somebody show you  the technique in using them correctly. Spectol would be my first recommendation, while Raystorm or Challenger Attack a second recommendation, if you want spinnier. 

802-40

Raystorm

Spectol

Victas VO 101 or 102

Adidas Blaze Spin

Andro Blowfish+

Stiga Radical

 

One thing I would note on many of these pips though is the sponge thickness. I use 1.8mm thickness, but have used 2.0mm as well. There is a big difference between 1.8 and 2.0 as far as speed goes.

Another thing to remember is what you're trying to achieve with your BH. If you just punch and hit then you probably don't need a spinny pips like Raystorm or Adidas Blaze Spin. TSP Spectol would work fine in that dept. Also if you're trying to go for something a little weird (more of a sinking ball when you hit) then Andro Blowfish+ or Stiga Radical both work well as they are both pretty fast with a little more deception than many SPs. I would probably recommend starting out with 1.8mm first to get used to them.

 

Thanks,

Another thing is that even the so-called fast SPs are nowhere near as fast as today's inverted rubbers. Sometimes I'm surprised when people say Spectol is fast or Challenger Attack is fast -- if you just came from a new generation rubber, they won't seem fast. 

If you are taking the ball off the bounce, that means you are playing quite close to the table.  For close to the table blocking/hitting, I prefer short/med pips with 1.5 sponge for better "sink" effect.  a 1.5-1.8 sponge is plenty fast if you are close to the table.

If the OP is in Singapore, then he should have access to coaches. Just have a coach tell you how to use the SPs. Trying to figure it out yourself may take months, if not longer, of headaches. All the talk of "transitioning" IMO is irrelevant, if somebody teaches you how to open your bat more and hit forward more.

As a matter of fact i have switched to short pips on my backhand for about 2 months and have taken 3 coaching lessons from Shaoyu. Thanks Schen for the recommend. Here are my thoughts on shortpips on the backhand.

1. Think push block and contacting the ball at or just after the highest point(just like penhold block), your regular inverted strokes will never work(too wristy). Coach is always pointing out i am using too much wrist. World class players using shortpips are wristy, but there timing is world class.

2. There is a great loss in power when using short pips, you yourself must generate the power. Thats why short pip attacking players play close to the table. Short pips does not grab the ball and return the power like inverted rubbers do.

3. You can loop/loop drive, but only close to the table. Playing mid or long range will not work well unless you are chopping.

4. Coaching is a very recommended or you will never yourself figure out what a correct form is. I think this was mentioned before. 

5. The pack, pack sound is the correct hit/timing....as Shaoyu always tells me...lol

6. Like anything, there are a lot of nuances/tips that come over time,playing and training. 

I see more and more people trying short pips these days. Why? My specific reason is because i dont want to torque my back backhand looping all the time. But that is half true, Coach has me looping with short pips in multiball....i suck so much and so out of breath  I think the main reason is people want to gain a advantage due to the new polyball. Thats my thoughts and dont flame me too much...

who said short pips players would have the edge with the polyball?

I was trying to say since the introduction of the polyball, players are trying different things (short pips) to see if they can gain a advantage. Not saying it will give a advantage. I tried playing with the Nittaku Premium polyball and it totally throws me off, i guess we just have to get used to it.
