Long Pips Replacement Choice

Equipment

Robert Quinn Asked 16 years ago

I have played with Hallmark Super Special Long Pips rubber for years. It is now, of course, illegal because of its frictionless quality. What do you believe to be the closest currently legal rubber I can go to to replace the now illegal rubber?

Thank you.

Hi Robert,

There are several options.  Some of th eoptions are Joola Octopus and Stiga Destroyer.  Of course there are several others that you can experiment with.  Maybe some players who use these could help you out here.

Octopus is used by Chen Weixing and Liu Song.  It has good effect on the ball with very good control.

If you are interested we can access this for you.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
