Long pips with or without sponge
Equipment
Hao Jun Asked 9 years ago
Hi,
I am interested in buying a long pips rubber, however, I do not know if I should buy one with or without sponge. When I chop, I would be close (not too close) to the table most of the time, unless my opponent has a really quick loop then, I drop back a little. So, what type of pips do you recommend me to play with?
Thanks

Hi Hao,
To start wiht it is better to get a thin sponge under the pimples which will help you to control the ball. As you progress you can think about playing without sponge. This is a progression that you may explore later.
The No sponge or 'Ox', will give you better effect but is more difficult for you to control.

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!

Did the sponge in Long Pips rubber effects its speed?
Yes it will. The thicker sponge will make the ball come off faster.
