I used the Twister w/ 0.5mm and ox before. High quality. Very soft and very skinny pips, grippy enough to "loop" with. Easy to manipulate spin close to the table on soft shots, but bottom out too much when chopping. Not easy to block loops off the bounce due to grip but can be done with enough wrist "cushioning".

Played it a few days ago and don't like it at all.. Too high trajectory.. Blocking loops went sky high... Not for me..

I had a brief hit with Armstrong Twister a while back on a friends oversize blade. Was pretty easy to chop with and hit with, had quite a nice feel. But I think Deva is actually referring to a different pip here simply called Armstrong "Long Pimple"...is this right Deva Sarajan?

Anyone else try this? May try a sheet in 1.3 sponge or even 1.7. Or others try the hard variant?
