Everywhere I've looked shows Globe 889 only in 1.8mm thickness. Anybody here know where I can get 889 in 2.5mm/MAX thickness? ------------- Timo ALC FL Tibhar Grip S MAx Tenergy 64 FX National 2.1mm He never boosts... of course he never had to... |

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. ------------- Smart; VS>401, Dtecs OX http://tabletennisshop.com.au/index.php?main_page=page&id=42" rel="nofollow - Tenergy Alternatives | http://tabletennis-reviews.com" rel="nofollow - My TT Articles |

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. -- Andrew |

I've got a red topsheet left I can put on any sponge you want up to 2.4 (but I wouldn't recommend it). ------------- Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b Please let me know if I can be of assistance. |

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. ------------- Timo ALC FL Tibhar Grip S MAx Tenergy 64 FX National 2.1mm He never boosts... of course he never had to... |

I was told that the pips are arranged vertically on one and horizontally on the other. Not sure how much difference that makes. ------------- Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b Please let me know if I can be of assistance. |

Here's a pretty good deal: http://www.ping-pong.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=JR88&reference=/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi%3Fsearch%3Daction%26keywords%3DJUIC+and+ttRubber%26searchstart%3D0%26template%3DTemplates/SearchResult.html - http://www.ping-pong.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=JR88&reference=/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi%3Fsearch%3Daction%26keywords%3DJUIC+and+ttRubber%26searchstart%3D0%26template%3DTemplates/SearchResult.html Not exactly the same but a good deal none the less.

That is a good deal, probably worth jumping on. Or Cole can give you more options on sponges. I often find pre-assembled Chinese short pips don't have as soft a sponge as I'd like. Cole, do you have 889 or 889-2 in that red topsheet? -- Andrew |

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. ------------- Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b Please let me know if I can be of assistance. |

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. ------------- Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b Please let me know if I can be of assistance. |

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. ------------- Timo ALC FL Tibhar Grip S MAx Tenergy 64 FX National 2.1mm He never boosts... of course he never had to... |

The 889 is meant to be a spinny pip, the 889-2 even spinnier. ------------- Smart; VS>401, Dtecs OX http://tabletennisshop.com.au/index.php?main_page=page&id=42" rel="nofollow - Tenergy Alternatives | http://tabletennis-reviews.com" rel="nofollow - My TT Articles |

Compared to other short pips, or compared to longer pips? Name a short pip that 889 is spinnier than. ------------- Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b Please let me know if I can be of assistance. |
