  1. Changing from offense to defense: Short or long pimples?

    Spinfire is available in OX, 1.5, 1.8 and 2.1mm. I wonder if somebody already tried Spinfire OX.
  2. Changing from offense to defense: Short or long pimples?

    Checking TT11 just now, 802-40 $22.5, Spinfire $42, Tango Ultra $49. Revspin description 'The amazing characteristics of Tango rubbers have joined forces with a pips-out topsheet for a short-pips rubber ideal for blocking.' And yes, I meant 'versatile', I'm not a native speaker, sorry.
  3. Changing from offense to defense: Short or long pimples?

    Extremely? Which blade did you try, please? I play Spinfire 2.1mm with utterly fast Carbospeed and 1.5mm with Waldner Legend Carbon, and I have no problem with (emergency) chops on BH. Sure, it's a little bit harder than with inverted or LP, but imo it's still perfectly fine, so I wonder if...
  4. Changing from offense to defense: Short or long pimples?

    For a transition you don't need the closest one, you need the most flexible one in a category, which is close enough to smooth rubber. It seems that Tango Ultra shines in blocking only. It's even quite expensive. 802-40 is much cheaper and much more flexible. I put it on my very old OFF- blade...
  5. Changing from offense to defense: Short or long pimples?

    You should say Yuto Muramatsu that SP away from the table is a bad idea. He would definitely thank you. Obviously he doesn't know it. Anyhow, I didn't say that SP are a good idea for it. I said that going to a pure defense style just because of one problematic situation doesn't make much sense...
  6. Changing from offense to defense: Short or long pimples?

    It sounds like a situation, which you could train with somebody. Maybe I miss the point or not understand you correctly... but you do not like when you must defend... and because of it you would like to change your style just into a pure defence? Really?🤷‍♂️ You play with Ma Lin Carbon. It's a...
  7. What rubber and blade to pick for modern spin defense with short pips?

    I used to play LP with a slow blade (Defplay Classic Senso) and I found out I have not enough power on FH. SP are determined for a more active play, I believe. Koji Matsushita Defense + D3 would definitely work, but in the end you would notice the same, I'm afraid... not enough power on FH...
  8. Advice against annoying style

    My coach told me that Flextra goes pretty well with this nice one ply cutting board. Maybe I will change my mind and will try it.
  9. Advice against annoying style

    But Flextra is not new. Flextra is very old.:)
  10. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    I 100% agree. I play short pips on BH as I used to play LP for many years and in the end I noticed that SP fit me better. But in general, I couldn't agree more with you.
  11. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    They never answered 'I already tried, but it was too fast'.
  12. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    Carl's post at #25 is very complex. It's about technique, skill, experiment and willingness to go there and back again, too. But I have talked to some people that it looks like they have a good technique, so why wouldn't try something faster with more power (looking at their average allround...
  13. Looking for a backhand-punch rubber

  14. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    Exactly. Last week I tried Stiga Offensive Classic WRB wood and didn't like it. Had some issues with control, sometimes I even didn't understand what's wrong. Even some guy noticed at revspin it takes time to get used to it. And, WRB wasn't a reason, I used to play senso. On the other hand...
  15. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    And the question is, which blade is better to achieve it? Faster carbon with revspin control 9.0 or slower wood with control 8.0?🤔
  16. Best Long pips OX for ATTACKING

    And removed again. How democratic. Hail to freedom of speech!
  17. Best Long pips OX for ATTACKING

    I guess you're right. Still, if any open discussion is not allowed, what should he/she do instead of such 'trolling'?🤔
  18. Best Long pips OX for ATTACKING

    Sorry to say, but it was an amazing sport many years ago when we counted up to 21, but they already ruined it step by step. Here you have the latest TT "improvement"... a draw.🤦‍♂️
  19. Best Long pips OX for ATTACKING

    He's not a troll, I guess. IMHO he's Wellso, who was deleted for some controversial post on LP and ITTF a few weeks ago.
  20. Best Long pips OX for ATTACKING

    Thanks a lot for your effort and willingness to share your know-how. I watched these videos, he even used both OX and 0.6mm versions in one of them, highlighting that incredible fast shot block, but without any details on other aspects. I never watched any video with such parabolic movement...
