Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if having long pimples in red or black makes a difference on a LP rubber?

Also can anyone tell me if the JSH blade is classed as fast? Because I know it is a combination blade and one side is slower than the other. But is the pimple side (slower side) still fast?

yes
to make rubber red comapines needs to add red color chemical to black rubber which makes rubber harder usually pips are stiffer, faster.

I envy you - it looks like the only thing stopping you from TT mastery is finding the perfect combination of blade/rubber and picking right LP color. I'm still struggling with my imperfect strokes, lack of practice/playing time, and limited understanding of game tactics.

So presumably red LP on any make of LP makes more spin reversal?

red one will have more spin reversal than black one.

Generally for any given LP this holds true. Between brands though, there can be a vast difference between the amounts of reversal you will get. Black in one LP brand, may out-reverse red in another. Don't just look for a rubber with the most reversal though, look for one that gives good spin variation from similar looking shots. That is the key to confusing the opponent and forcing them into error. Looping a no spin ball versus a backspin or topspin will result in very different results if there's no adjustment made. I get loopers sending the ball long more from this that they do from putting a highly reversed spin in the net (most good loopers love looping backspin, but hate looping no spin).

I have never heard the JSH blade described as being a combination blade. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the two sides are the same speed.

You're right I was wrong.

1) When it was time to buy my first ox rubbers I discovered that red topsheets could not legally be glued on dark blades or on blades with drawings on both sides.
2) AFAIK some pips-out rubbers are more durable in black and do not know the opposite case.

So I decided to stick to black pips and red other side forever.

I think that was the "old" rule, but "see through" restrictions were dropped.

Or,

May be Omut wanna say that some pips too transparent, so the red one look too black on black blade.

It is still a current rule but applies to transparent sheets. So the red rubber doesnt look dark and blackish.
