Hi Mark,
Ox pimples just mean they don't have any sponge under them. It is a little bit harder to control the ball but it can give more effect when hit correctly.

Yes you will feel the ball on the wood through the pimples.

When I changed to LP, I also did some research about different sponge thickness. All things being equal, it seems that having sponge is better for chopping. Having no sponge (OX) allows maximum spin reversal, and makes it easier to play closer to the table and still handle the incoming spin and speed. I personally opted for OX because I wanted to be a close-to-the-table LP player.
