OOAK Table Tennis Forum

For informational purpose only, I did this little test to show the difference between these two long pips rubbers.



I think the BT OX is the best in OX for its properties.
On the other side the 388D-1 OX is more allround, for a better variety of shots, and less "extreme".

Let me know what you think guys, and, if someone is going to make a test like this with other rubbers (example grass d'tecs vs curl p1-r) it may be a good resource to understand the differences about the long pips that we use.

Agree very much CB We boys are the Bomb and have the Talent too

I'd like to see palio ck531a vs bomb talent.

The frictionless version???

I used the Yellow pack version in RED OX and found that pretty good although a bit on the fast side (for my liking). Friction also seemed about the same or may be even less than BT. I prefer BT mainly because it is much slower.

Not frictionless,but the ball slides over the pips more easily than the yellow packet version,the blue version is probably less than 25nM Although I can`t say for sure

Updates:
My red Talent ox has lost even more grip after the use. I'm using it on a Yinhe t-9, a thick balsacarbon combi blade. The control is less on chops but still fine. I've to mention, when I glued it at first onto the T9, it was badly glued and I was disappointend by the performance. Then I reglued it firmly and it is entirely another thing, impressive.

I've tried other ox sheets in a while: cloud & fog 3, cropcircles, 388d-1... but for some reason these soft pips perform worse for my game. Still with the talent I've the best % of unforced errors or netted balls made by my opponents. A special note btw is given to the cropcircles, not as serius as the talent but nasty for opponents in its own way.

Thats interesting bcos CCircles are soft,grippy pips imho!!!!
