I didn't see any video of them returning power topspin close to the table using the long pips playing match.

If playing close to the table surely not win a lot of matches receiving power topspin. Also I didn't see any world champion with lp ox on viscaria and on w968....

Neither you nor anyone else can block or chop-block close to the table power topspin with the blades he mentioned using long pips.

If you ask me I think not need to go to carbon blades because with 5 layes of stiff wood or 7 layers of wood is enough to play classical defense chop with this slow and big ball.

I guess 2.5 will have less speed, more control & more or less the same spin, probably by the end of the month I will buy the 2.5 to test how it goes.

I'm glad you followed my advice. I'm using with Stiga Infinity VPS and works very good.

Ok, but you can chop using a block-chop close to the table and also mid far from the table.

I guess for classical defensive far from the table, not OK to play defensive close to the table....

Dwell time is also related how degrees have the sponge, hard needs more power to engage the sponge, also how hard or flex is the blade plays and important role like the total weight of the racket.

As I see this rubber needs good shape & good technique to take is full potential. Everybody need time to adapt first training and when you are consistent use in a match. As I see using different blades with differents rubbers togheter Zyre 03 will change the weight racket & the feeling when...

Guys our sport the feeling matters a lot, that's the reason some love and others hate the rubber.

There different kind of long pips rubbers depending how you want to play defensive, isn't the same close to the table block & chop-block or mid-far from the table always chopping, so depending how do you want to play you have to choose the right blade & the right long pips.

I'm sorry I'm not native English speaker. Don't take this personal I have the technique to know training how goes the rubber also I know due to my old age and limited shape that is not for me playing tournaments. Be honest with yourself and don't confuse the things.

Short game is good, isn't bouncy, only need touch and proper technique. Boys it all depends yours skills and the way you play, if you like a lot of dwell time forget this rubber, if you aren't young and in good shape forget this rubber. When this rubber shine is when you do power topspin...

The rubber isn't for me because I'm handicaped and 66 years old but training I can know how a rubber works better. I have the technique to use it but I can't move fast so that's the reason I use long pips for backhand to play close to the table and will not use the rubber for tournaments.

First Dima is pro an top player and I guess Dan not. Dima said perfectly how the rubber works the pros & the cons. Pros changing grip and tactics very easy due to have more technique/gears than the people with less technique/gears. As Dima said you have to choose if it's better or not for you...

Well first of all you have to be well positioned to do a correct stroke, after the feet and the lower body and the late contact with 45° the blade with the ball if not do the three correctly forget to do a quality stroke, to test that only you have to see how the balls travel to the other side...

You can't use the same technique for ZYRE-03 and D09C because are very different.

I see your forehand motion is not right, it seems you brush the ball at high part and you need to impact the ball at 45º more or less, doing as you do the ball doesn't penetrate the sponge so not do speed nor spin and not power, it's a weak hit unstable that don't give you confidence to attack...
