Hi All, I'm currently using Timo Boll ALC with Tenergy 05 on FH, looking for a new short pips rubber on BH. What are the best short pips for aggressive play close to the table? Taking all balls early when they're rising and driving/smashing them back through spin, returning serves straight through (even backspin serves), putting the opponent under pressure etc? No chopping away from the table, just an occasional touch close to the net. I assume these will have to be classic non-spinny pips? What would be the best sponge thickness? For hitting through spin and low-arc are thinner ones better? Soft or hard? Here are the ones I've tried so far: 1) BTY Challenger Attack 1.7 - I liked the thickness as it tended to bottom out nicely and help driving/smashing, but was a tad too spinny with no deception 2) BTY Speedy P.O. 2.1 - a bit harder sponge and less spinny than challenger attack, low-arc and flat-hitting certainly possible but less control due to quite a thick sponge 3) TSP Spectol 2.15 (classic) - worst of the three, the sponge was too soft with very non-linear speed - on slow shots the sponge was essentially damping and slowing the ball down, on faster shots the ball got catapulted with a high arc and little control Possible candidates: I) BTY Speedy P.O. 1.7 II) TSP Spectol Speed 1.5-1.8? Can you recommend the best pips (incl. thickness) for the game I'd like to play? Thanks a lot

Nittaku moristo SP look at mima ito. For aggressive play you dont rely on knuckleball effect or disturbance but on speed, precision and accuracy.

I find Spectol Blue quite good as a forehand rubber. Not deceptive as such, but pretty easy to vary the amount of spin and fast enough.
