long pimples double fish 1615 on Donic Cayman ?

What do you think if I've my FH: Tackifire Special Soft and BH: Double Fish Long Pimples 1615 (OX) .. together with the blade of Donic Cayman ?

I'm considering my FH: either Stiga Carbo MC or Butterfly Tackifire Special Soft
BH: either Long Feint III OX or Double Fish 1615 OX.
Blade: either Donic Cayman or Stiga HyperTech CR 35/45.

I'm kind of indecisive of which to use .. any suggestion ? Or perhaps you can suggest me other types of blade or rubbers ..

It's my impression based on feedback that the 1615 is a versatile pip, but like most chinese pips it still favors agressive play (blocking, punching, and hitting)  being a little stiffer and faster than others.  The butterfly is more like what a chopper would use being very soft and reasonably spinny so you can add with the chop.

what is this ???

I do chopping sometimes ... but I do blocking more often, and sometimes smashing the ball with the long pimples. I was told 1615 was quite good, but not sure how good is it ..

ban him. please.

I used the 1615 OX for a while...when used correctly the spin reversal was impressive, but I found it rather hard to control away from the table.  I'm currently using the dawei 388d 1.0mm which I find to be much easier for chopping from mid-long distance

For aggressive play a spinny long pimple with a sponge would probably be more suitable.

From memory (long time ago) the 1615 has fairly rigid pimple and not a lot of friction. This would probably suit close to the table blockers that like to block loops short with heavy spin reversal.

If you wish to attack and hit more, a bit of grip and a little sponge would make it a lot easier....

A friend of mine uses the dawei 388 d-1. And i also have hit a little with it.

does anyone has video clip or guide on how to use long pimples ? I find that I'm not a good user of LP.

What would you do if you're using LP and your opponent use LP too ?

Before I suggest anything I think most people should be chopping with inverted rubbers. You can still be very defensive with donic slice 40 or tackfire chop.

that aside.  1615 is for blocking and hiting. I used it. I hated it. more because I tired it in ox than because its a stiff LP. Feint III on the other hand is very soft and only effective at the long distance. Its horrible at blocking and hitting. Feint II or stiga destroyer is a nice in the middle LP.

The donic caymen is extremly light and only moderatly slow. Its a weird feeling.  Some might like it I did not. Iv never tried the hypertech but I do know that stiga makes great blades and their advertising dept is full of sh*t. hypretch, wrb, CR its all crap.

I love the TSS. I use it. It is painfully slow and should not be considered an offensive weapon. It chops decent  and has great control. The carbo Iv never used but its most likely much faster (although Id probably go with almana or optimum)

I need coffee

Butterflys speed rating is just like anyones opinion,  including mine, subjective.

On a whole, as a company Butterfly tends to make  slower rubbers than most other competitors. Donic, Andro, Stiga have all made very advanced rubbers. Butterfly has made advanced rubbers aswell...ten years ago. Im sure many will disagree :/  Im just another voice on the wall.

i'm currently using friendship 755 without sponge, FH: friendship RITC 729, and Donic Appelgren Falcon (a blade that's really old, I saw it on bid on ebay, not sure what so good about it ... ????)
sink effect ? isn't that great  ?
I would really prefer FH to be fast .. if tackifire is slow, then i guess i need to change then ...

RITC 755 are pretty darn good , DHS C8, also Nittaku has some decent pips that are suitable for attacking...but then again why not just get short pips

about the donic cayman, is it really effective for long pimples as claimed by the manifacturer ?
