Suggest short pips rubber for Taksim

Get a sheet of regular 802 or 802-40 fro zeropong or a sheet of haifu dolphin from the mytt store.

Possibly, it is cheap and safe to start with a black RITC 802-40. Or more expensive but better Haifu Dolphin or Penguin. May be 2.0mm or 1.8mm.

These are spinny and fast enough. May be too spinny, it depends.

It is less than USD10 at www.ttnpp.com for a sheet of 802-40.

The other SPs are not a lot better but more expensive.

Stiga Clippa, Royal, BTY Raystorm, Flarestorm, Joola Tango Ultra, TSP Spinpips, etc.

SP is normally traditional Chinese FH fast attack, BH push/block. May be later at higher level, like Spinny serves, semi-loops by Liu Guo Liang.

You may like to watch the TT training by some ex Chinese Champions like Zhuang Ze Dong, Jiang Jia Liang, and Liu Quo Liang, etc. There are links somewhere in this forum.

LGL is also BH RPB.

My style is push, hit and block.  Which one of the above will be best for blocking?

No rubber.  Plain wood. 

Yes, it's similar to Raystorm and other spinny pips.
