Must close the bat angle a bit or can brush the looped ball to the side to make it "side chop block"... It will return to the opponent bottom side spin and have some wobble. Can see how Shan Xiano done it.

And now I try to versatile on blocking. Instead of blocking I learn to counter loop using RPB

I am reading your comments and I think that DMS Firestorm 2.1 has all you need in active game. Speed, spin on open and serve, control and relative flat trajectories in blocks and destorbing effect when hit hard, smash. Booster falco long gives all stokes better in attack.

Some comparations Firestorm with xs and spinpips or similar????

I'm also using dms firestorm soft max, I really like that rubber it's the best for close to the table I have tried, I notice on this firestorm is spinny in serve and chop but almost no spin in topspin, that's for the soft max.

I meant if the rubber if very sensitive to spin.nittaku beautry has low spin sensitivity

I have been playing with 2.1mm XS Impartial red on my forehand with a Stiga Carbonardo 245.

This rubber is so, so fast.

The only other SP rubber i can remember that generates speed like this one was Joola Ultra.

The Max thickness sponge i use may have a lot to do with it.

Super highly impressed with this rubber.

Insanely easy to use moving from inverted.

On the Rev spin website someone said it is between inverted and SP and i agree.

If you lift the ball too steep it will slip and go into the net.

Also if you lift the ball too steep you get NO reversal.

You need to lift the ball quite shallow to gain max speed and as a huge bonus your shots will go lower over the net and produce decent reversal.

I have ordered another 2.1 red for my other blade. Cannot emphasize enough how impressed i am with this rubber. Very consistent and off the charts fast.

Was previously using 05 Dignics max on my forehand and this rubber is almost as quick.

Slower on brush loops but on flatter shots the speed is similar.

My serve with the Impartial rubber i think is better than with 05 as the ball i think slips slightly off the rubber reducing its speed which results in a shorter serve. No visible reduction in the amount of spin i am getting compared to 05 which is surprising.

I have a 1.5 mm Spin pips and comparing the difference in speed is night and day.

I am a Victas VO > 102 lover for my FH because it provides both speed and control. Do you that Impartial XS gives you enough control comparing with 102?

Discontinued from LARC 2005 for having non standard geometry on pips out,

Soooooooo igorbot, have you by any chance checked the dates recently? Are you aware its now 2023? What relevance does a LARC discontinuation in 2005 have with 2023?
