I recently posted about changing my game style to attack/defence with inverted rubber. I went to my local club with this in mind but accidently came across Stiga Radical and tried it out on my B/H. I chopped mainly with it but when the ball was up It was easy enough to hit as well. I have read a lot about certain stigma regarding using pimples and that only players with poor technique use it. The rubber seems to suit me as I have good hard bat skills and really like the idea of defence followed by attack. I didn't really know anything about pimples and the difference between short and long but I am beginning to understand them. My opinion is yes some players resort to playing with pimples if they lack skill but they will only beat average players who don't think on the table enough, but really skilful players use pimples as well and mainly because it suits their style and techniques.
