Force Pro Black is a beats IMO, I find it hard to control in my first few goes. Excellent blade though!!

Donic Waldner Senso Carbon is not good for pimples and IMO is it a bit slow these days with the crap plastic balls.

My theory of one bat was the force pro Black. I thought the stiffness of it might make it easier to drive and kill the ball with even with Hurricane 3 Neo, but it was very flat. I am going to try it again tonight though in a league match. It should be great for the pimples and is superb for...

I practice quite a lot and seem to switch seamlessly between tenergy and hurricane. I think I am a bully type player. I love hitting v defenders and off the table players, but some players feed off this. Against those attacking and counter attacking guys I prefer to vary my game and mess them...

I have not really tried many carbon blades, I found it very spinny with hurricane, great loops, good serves.

Baal! You are a LEGEND! You could be the GOAT of the TT Forum community!!

I think you would like it, only tried a Fexxtra briefly, I would say they are very similar in hardness and feel. Do not think the force pro black would be spinnier, it has a very flat arc on loops for me. I would say it is a hitter and blockers blade for close to the table, not sure Samsonov...

I would say I play better with Hurricane in general. It is sometimes that it is just such hard work beating lobbers and lp boys. And it is such an inconsistent rubber in different conditions etc. Plus I am sick of butterfly's monopoly and price fixing. Butterfly is the only equipment I can not...

That is a good point Garrison, probably not, you would argue I should pick one and improve at the weaknesses, and that would make me use Hurricane 3 Neo, but I find it awful with the new plastic balls, especially Butterfly. Also hurricane can become useless in very humid conditions or if the...

If you saw me play a defender (similar standard) with Hurricane I would probably lose, I would almost certainly beat that same player straight away in a second match with no practice with the same combo but with Tenergy. Now if I played a 20 year old two winged looper (similar standard) they...

Can you successfully use different FH rubber against different styles or conditions? Short Pimples on BH, same blade!! I have been using short pimples for 10 moths now. I have been using them on bh with Tenergy on FH on a Samsonov Force Pro Blue (classic 7 ply wood) or on bh with Hurricane 3...

Wannabe Pro, This forum is a wonderful source of information and help and friendliness. I have been playing with a little gap for nearly 40 years and am a reasonable player. I have been given wonderful and inspiring and sometimes tough advice from some of the people on here. Upside down Carl...

One of the issues I have with the short pimples is that you need to play close to the table for them to really work. In the first video the player is just off the table, I like playing at this distance but it is extremely difficult with short pimples, they have no affect here. Moving in and out...

I find that looping hard and hitting with the short pimples is very hard to do, to win points with a strong enough shot, everything has to be almost perfect. When this goes well it is very effective. But I am have to change my game to do this. Now I have been hit by the whammy of the poly...

Lula I try and get the ball short and high if possible for the pimple hitting, but if they just keep playing low and long to me it is hard to lift, but I guess this is always the ups and downs of short pimples!!

Langel that is a great theory but I find it hard to twidlle, ok on odd serve receive though. I am going to try not to EJ for a while yet Carl! I will buy some ABS balls and try to adjust!!

not liked any of the spinny pips i have tried, victas 102, waran, waran 2

TBH I am finding the new ABS balls almost impossible, its like the ball is always too slow and low for me to attack with my pimples. I am almost going back to reversed rubbers both sides!

Hi struggling with the ABS balls and short pimples! can't lift the ball finding my hits slow margin of error feels narrower? do short pimple guys think going to 2.0mm spectol red would help I use 1.8mm spectol red at the moment

Logic would suggest sticking with the bat and rubbers I have been enjoying using, and practising training with the newer abs balls. So for once I will try and be sensible and do this. If it does not feel better in several weeks then I will forget about the short pimples!!
