Moristo SP Vs Moristo SP AX

[The Pong Professor]

Could you write one in a TT11 style for us please?

I am pretty slammed at the moment with nine TT11 reviews lined up already (https://youtu.be/HVCrs2T2rZ4).

Short version: W2 is a heavy short pip (hard sponge), with horizontal pip alignment. Only comes in 2.0 mm. Its strengths are blocking and driving through the ball. It offers minimal deception. It is possible to generate very high levels of backspin. This allows for deceiving variations between no-spin and heavy backspin balls, depending how you hit it. Excellent control in the short game. Has to be use close-to-the-table as the arc is quite flat, rendering it difficult to 'loop' from mid-distance.

I did not really try victas 102 long enough to know, i think victas felt a little softer in play,
i am really enjoying the SP AX, it feels fantastic in block, better then the Spectol Red for sure!

MOG, How do you compare the relative hardness (topsheet and sponge) of the Ax vs the Victas? I'll get a sheet if its harder.

In what thickness on a Fextra 7 wood or Waldner carbon ???

BRS,

what do you like about the SP that is different from the SP AX.
I am playing well in practice with SP AX but nit so well in matches, Maybe I need to give it more time.
How would you compare Spectol Red, SP and SP AX in terms of

control
short game
looping or hitting through backspin
blocking in coming topspin
blocking in coming flat hits
returning serve - spin sensitivity

How do your assessments compare to Patricks? I love Patricks blog but always think i have to come down one notch from where he is. So if he says a rubber is a bit soft for him, I usually prefer it. If he likes a bat, it is normally a notch too fast for me!

Stuff I like is normally Patrick -1 or -2.

No offence Patrick, your a better player than me and you like hard and powerful set ups. Your reviews are practical though which give good information. (I Love them)

I wont be going to LP, too many compromises, if I can not make SP AX work for me, apart from trying Keiler as a last resort I am going back to reversed on bh. I am probably going to give it until the summer before I do that.
