Does the 388d-1 or neptune provide more reversal assuming theyre both ox and are on the same blade? What other cheap ox long pips provide the same or more reversal than the 388d-1 or neptune?

Reversal in descending order:  (388D-1 is #15.  Neptune is #18.)

If you click the column heading, you can sort:
Speed, Spin, Control, Deception, and Reversal. (In descending order.)

Problem is, that site is a load of crap! Good for very general ratings, but going from #15 to #18 on there is more than wishy washy! 

The 388D-1 is fairly spinny, along with neptune. Look how Zhou Xintong abuses her 388d-1 rubbers... top spin, back spin, side spin, you name it spin! I don't either are that great for a passive game relying on reversal/deception. They'll work there... but other pips are much better. These are more all-around sort of weapons.

Look at Palio CK531A, DHS C8, Bomb Talent, Sword Scylla, Giant Dragon Talon, Globe 979 and DAWEI Saviga V for reversal.

There is a quattro version of 388d1 that has less friction than the regular.  The regular is maybe the grippiest long pip I have.

Neptune has a drier feeling, but I think the pip may be a little wider and shorter too.
Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

388d smooth tips good reversal and effects
388d-1 ruffled tips more grip when blocking means less reversal
