The Tibhar Grass D. TecS is dangerous because the aspect ration is exceeded. There are many surfaces that produce a similar amount of spin reversal. The important thing is the combination with the wood. Extreme spin reversal makes e.g. the Neptune on a slow blade. The Twister EXT in OX makes on a softer and fast blade a lot of reversals. Which wood do you play? More importantly, what style is used for the long pimples rubber.

It's not eysy to find a suitable Chinese LP for a Japanes blade :) I would give Dawei 388 D-1 a try. I can also imagine the Giant Dragon Meteorite Soft on the NSD.

I hope that you are well and playing well. With the old frictionless long pimples like Hallmark Original, Scalpel etc, using the OX version you got the best effect. With the new range of long pimples and from your tests would you say that it still the same, or would you now say that using long pimples with either 0,5mm or 1mm thickness sponge gives you more spin reversal when defending, blocking and better disturbance effect when at the table returning serves, pushing and blocking?

Hi Bazzer

On blades with a soft touch OX fits well. On blades with a hard touch sponge is better. On blades with a mid-hard touch a thin spong may be optimal. Theory is one thing and to test yourself the other :D

I took your advice and re-tried the Yasaka Phantom Infinity 12 OX, it is good for counter hitting, blocking and flat hitting chop ass you said, I can also go back and defend away from the table with it. It's a great choice thank-you for your advice.

Many thanks :D

Selecting the right blade and the sponge thickness is very important. I will try in the near future to gather more information on this topic.

You're welcome :D

I've updated the first posting. Now it's easier to read and two new sheets are there: NEOTTEC Tokkan is a very interesting rubber for a play near the table. GIANT DRAGON Talon is similar to the D.TecS and also a very fine long pimples.

What is your favorite distance (style) and balsa wood that you play?

at the table, strong forehand loop, block/ counter/ aggressive push on backhand.

I play with Hallmark Ultra (oversize attacking) blade, Yasaka Xtend on FH, and (at the moment) Hallmark Frustration 0x on the BH. Occasionally twiddle, not often. Use the pimples mostly to set up the FH.
thanks!
