1 HR AGO - Pistol 2 didn't suit my game at all. It felt like a very dead rubber to me, like it was meant more for a classic style blocking/hitting game. I couldn't get any spin out of it at all, and because the sponge was so soft, I wasn't getting a lot of speed either. Maybe a more experienced short pips user would get more out of it, but it was too slow and flat for my taste.Waran can give a little spin (definitely more than Pistol 2) and was faster than Pistol 2. On blocks, Waran is very good, sending a fast, sliding pace back. With Pistol 2, it was more of a slower, dead ball. Maybe Pistol 2 would work better as a blocking/hitting backhand rubber. Waran is, to me, more of a forehand rubber. Pistol 2 was lighter than Waran, not that Waran was heavy, just Pistol 2 felt relatively light to me.Firestorm Soft, the sponge is softer than the Waran, but not slow like the Pistol 2. Spin wise, there is no comparison. I was getting almost as much spin on forehand shots as you can get with moderately Collapse

1 HR AGO - I'd call the weight maybe medium heavy. Definitely lighter than Aggressor and KO Pro, but heavier than something like Waran.I was using it on my backhand. On serves, it can generate a small amount of spin, but not a lot. As the session was going along, I was learning to flick a short ball. It can be done, I wouldn't say it's a strength of the rubber, but when doing a controlled flick I could place it very precisely. Since I was hitting with a long pip blocker, I can't yet speak to counter-hitting against top spin. But I should have that opportunity tonight.Comparing the offensive capabilities of this rubber against dead and under spin balls to Keiler and ORKan, I would say that, like Keiler, when I hit with it, it has a very flat trajectory, but definitely faster. It is quite different from ORKan, throw is much lower and speed is a completely different ballgame, like night and day.Tonight I will get my first impressions of it for blocking/counter hitting/returning spinny serves.

4 HRS AGO - Unless this sponge is unusually soft, it's usually quite difficult to bottom out sponge with BH stokes. Is it possible that it's just really corky, i.e. a loud rubber?! Very soft sponges are often loud like this, and it doesn't necessarily mean they're bottoming out. As far as brushing with SP, you shouldn't need to do that unless you're deliberately trying to introduce spin variations. SP's strong suit is flat-hit balls that arrive on a beeline without any topspin to help your opponent lift their return over the net. Watch some Mima Ito videos on Youtube to get an idea of this. Of course, these are also the most difficult strokes to deliver, so less elite players like us tend to strike a balance between safety/success and the beeline drive. For me, the most rewarding SP drive is one that's so fast and spinless that my opponent hits it onto their side of the table first, as if they were serving.

1 HR AGO - Thanks jok! Now if only i had recorded the weight of 1.8! For me the 401 is soooooo awesome... but a bit heavy if i wanted to used short pips on the backhand as well. For my current setup of 1.8 + ox pips, the weights stay in the 175-183 range. With short pips that can go up over 200 grams! But after trying so many other rubbers, for me the 401 is way above the rest. Great short game control, enough power for looping and the chop accuracy/control is unparalleled when factoring in all its other advantages.I suppose rubbers like tackiness chop or juic 999 elite are good for chopping as well, yet they lack power and spin when doing serves or blocks. They make it safer -- for both user and opponent! I feel 401 raises the stakes a bit and requires each player to be more precise. With tackiness chop, I can probably return balls easier, although the variation and subtleties are not as good nor is the spin as high. I'm wondering how much of those attributes are lost when moving to 1.5. For Collapse
