Hi!! I've been using LP/OX on my BH for 15-years, so that's coming along, but still tuning up my FH. Since I don't use much spin, I am conducting another SP experiment. Any thoughts on what would be best for up close, attacking . . . hit, punch block, push/chop over the table play? I need control . . . I can supply the speed . . . hitting through spin is helpful . . . don't want floaters and balls sailing off table. I've been using Winning Komann NP-8 on 1.5 and it's not bad. Never liked 802 or 802-40 much (I realize many are similar to this, but don't feel comfy with Friendship pips) Spong configuration?

The Spectol lineup seem ideal for FH use. They have a classic hitting feel, not a tensor springiness. ------------- Harimoto Innerforce ALC FH: Dr Neubauer Killer Extreme 2.2 BH: Butterfly Dignics 05 2.1 Embrace the Dark Side. |

I could suggest Yasaka Xtend PO but unfortunately it´s been discontinued. It was an Allround SP less springy then Rakza PO. I´ve always used Max thickness but I was a penholder with inverted RPB. If you can find any it´s worth a try.

Hi tommyzai :) I would advice to try for hit, punch block push/chop ... meteor 8512 OX :) I managed to counterhit with that rubber on TB ALC like 5 times in a row really good topspins from 2400ish (actually master of sport in Belarus) level of play guy and finally not me was mistaken - but he did not manage to return it back even though they were a practice rallies :) What I liked most from that rubber (and none of others could serve well for me there) - finish the point with BH :)

What do you like about the Moristo SP 1.8? I didnt like it at all it had good speed but blocking was very inconsistent. I much prefer Rakza PO.

never mind what the pros use. they use equipment given by their sponsors. go find something that suits you. I would say you need something at least with a 1.8 sponge on the FH. ------------- The Dark Side is: "Quicker, easier, more seductive" - Yoda |

Yes rakza PO is very good. Fast and Spinny and has light short pips effect if you hit flat and through the ball.

That is unexpected. I find Moristo SP 1.8mm is very consistent with EVERYTHING. I used Moristo SP 2.0mm, and yes, it was inconsistent with counter-blocking. One other possibility is that I have been using this pips for more than 15 years, so I got used to it. ------------- SPEEDY Viscaria Super ALC ST JOOLA Rhyzen CMD(FH) Nittaku Moristo SP (BH) |

I can afford to pick up one more pip. I just ordered the classic . . . . Spectol Soft in 1.8. Which would have more control, Moristo SP or Rakza PO for punch blocks and hitting through spin of all kinds? ------------- For More Info, PM or Email me: [email protected] |

Moristo ax is better to hit spinny loops but moristo has a better balance than rakza

| you can try DMS firestorm max soft version, so far the best sp i have tried for close to the table and punch block, this is super soft sponge just dont use on soft blade it will have mushy feel best for 7 ply hard feel blades |
