I have just discovered the joys of short pimples, someone lent me a sheet of Spectol Red 1.8mm in black. I have put them on my infinity and used them 3 times.
They are a bit more positive for me to use than short long pimples. Like the attacking chop with them like the blocking with them like the hitting with them they seem a but bouncy at times, I read somewhere an old pro recommended soft sponge for short pimples especially when you first use them. original spectol has softer sponge. I want a bit more control and think 1.5mm would give me a better control and hit and help with my short play? Is this correct? Are old Spectol still good with the new ball? or should I go to spectol red in 1.5mm what about a 7 ply like samsanov force pro in blue, I want to use hurricane on fh for contrast but I find infinity too slow for hurricane any help would be great |

I've played with the Spectol Red and the original Spectol, Red definitely feels to have a higher arc. I quite liked it in my limited time using it. The only problem I had with it was when pushing, I really had to adjust the angle of my racket so that it doesn't pop up easily. I never had to do as much adjustment switching between my other short pips. Even spinny pips with higher arc like VO102 didn't have the same pop up effect when pushing.

my friend has played with spectol, spectol 21, spectol red and spectol blue, he plays on close to the table blocks, pushes, rolls, and hits with them...he prefers spectol blue, then red over the regular and 21, note at one point he was the traveling player on the US team and played at a fairly good level

but we would both ask first on what blade do you want to put it on? and what is your style of play?

Ayyyyy, I know who emihet is talking about and we TT forumers are all missing out on a good thing, because emihet's friend does not post on the TT forums. This man will enrich you if you just sit next to him.

treid on a stiga infinity, donic person dotec (too bouncy) and just ordered a force pro blue to try them on, all 1.8mm, just finding them a bit bouncy, think I could do more with them in 1.5 and proably original spectol would suit me more

so far I know just one japanese girl that have played with spectol blue .blue is better because send the ball with a very low arc beside better flicks and red dont think that can be used above 2000 its just a softer bouncy expensive version of that chinese pips that give annoying balls but you cany do anything else |

the spectol red is much better on the samsanov force pro blue, much more predictable.
the blue is supposed to be too fast though?? |

I am an active player with the short pimples trying to hit and actively block, should I try spectol soft original, I find the red a bit bouncy at times
I am using hurricane 3 neo on fh to try and get spin and get the ball up I want to be giiting and punching a lot with the short pimples, my backhand is strong and the speed can come from my wrist, I can hit with long pimples. I think spectol 1.5 old soft one might be better for me any thoughts I might post a video Edited by mog1111 - 03/09/2018 at 4:40pm |
