Wanna know , why Diabolic 1.0mm is more dangerous then Diabolic 1.6mm

I wouldn't say a 1mm anti is more dangerous than a 1.6mm anti.
The spin reversal will be higher with the 1mm anti than the 1.6mm anti because the ball cannot sink into the rubber as much.
As the ball depresses the rubber it also has more surface are in contact with the rubber hence more friction. So 1mm antis have less friction but more spin reversal.

If spin reversal is what you want then go with the 1mm anti. However, I have found that thin anti will not absorb the impact of a fast incoming ball and will bounce of the paddle with a flat but fast trajectory. An anti like YAP ( Yasaka Anti Power ) is still fast but the 2mm of sponge allows it to absorb the energy of fast incoming balls.

I have played with Buffalo 1.5mm. It is a very slick and almost frictionless anti. It would return balls with lots of spin reversal but it was difficult to attack with which made it less dangerous. If I wanted to be aggressive on both wings I had to twiddle.

Anti rubbers have various attributes such as how slick they are and how much energy they can absorb. Each attribute has some give and take.

BTW, don't consider playing with LPs or anti unless you are going to learn how to twiddle well and under pressure.

I disagree with this statement. If you have a good FH you don't need to twiddle. See Ronel Davidov as an example.

If you can't twiddle the opponents will figure out the anti has no spin or attacking capability and keep hitting balls to your BH.
It is a shocker to the opponent when instead of getting a slow back spin return they get a fast top spin return.

That is a loaded question, loaded with assumptions not necessarily true.

That being said, a 1.0 vs. thicker slice of the same anti will have an even more drastic decelaration of speed, allow very dead short dropshots.

It will probably allow unexpected aggressive hits, especially of backspin balls, more easily, performed by hitting through the sponge and using the blade's power. If it has that.

There are drawbacks too. With any anti, it takes an effort to get the ball on the other side of the table. Only when returning a very fast ball will you get away by merely putting your bat in its path. This is even more pronounciated in the thinner sponged antis. A no-spin countering game is somewhat feasible (and can be very disturbing) with a thicker-sponged anti, and much harder with a thin one.

If you're chopper and nothing but, that might be a moot point, beware of embracing the notion of 1.0 inherently superior dangerousness all too easily.

Somehow I suspect this topic to resonate more with the rank and file at OOAK than at this forum. Lots more defensive players, and lots more discussions about pips and antis there.

Thanks bro .. just curious ..
