Since I was diagnosed having a hernia in the lower spine region, and had to give up modern defence using inverted and anti-spin for chopping away from the table and looping, I have begun using this rubber as well, in 1.9 mm, red, on a Tibhar Defense Plus blade (with Friendship 837 OX on the backhand). It is a notch faster than Friendship's 802-40, is capable of producing about the same good amount of spin, but is far less sensitive to incoming spin, and hits flat beautifully with good sinking effect. And it is very light-weight as well, which is a blessing to me. I use it close to the table for blocking and hitting, and even if I can't move around lot anymore, I seem to be getting back at the same level of play I was before. Its only rival, which I have on my other Def Plus, is the Double Fish 820 A (red, 2.0 mm), which is also something in between a short and medium pip, and even slightly faster than the 105. It is a lot less spinny and so produces more sink and has a flatter trajectory; very effective for blocking and hitting and great control in short play over the table. It is quite heayvy, though.

is 820a arc flatter than 802 or 799? what pip is lower arc than 802 or moristo but less spiny with out being tricky as spectol?

I wonder how this data fits in the 40+ world?
