i tried 3 sp becouse i compete against young players,off course they are faster then me so tried a new setup more disturbing but yet fast to play against veterans,i am 42,play regularly in +35 and +40 and also in second division.i tried again globe 889,very disturbing but slow and not very controllable.so i buyed a 889 with japanese sponge,more control but not faster and loose some disturbing game.so after a month becouse ttnpp did not send (paypal controvesry) i gto a friendship 802 mystery 3 2,1mm 41° sponge from eacheng.that is a fast,not like japanese or european,but yet fast disturbing and control rubber.i hope it bring me a solution and satisfaction for my game.

That's very thick for a sport pimple... most people use 1.5 to 1.8mm which tends to give a lot more control. Extra thickness tends to mainly add spin, which is not really what SPs are good for.

i do not like the cork feeling of thin sponge.i need speed to play against veterans and control and disturb to play against youngers.

Once again if you are looking for "disturbing" in short pips -you're looking in the wrong place. You would be better off looking in medium pips if disruption is a big part of your game. Maybe the Legend 105 pip? Yes some short pips can cause a disruptive block for certain players who are used to playing inverted-almost exclusively. Once you hit a certain level -you better be using SP for what they were designed for-fast,quick hitting offense. If you were going to look for maximize disruption one of the Dr's short pips offerings seems a place to start if you have the coin...
