Hi Samuel,

They suit players that play close to the table and like fast flat rallies.

If this is you then it may be a good choice.

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!

Of course there is not one type of rubber which is the right choice for everyone.  Horses for courses as they say.  If you are thinking of trying SP or any other type of rubber, one thing you might do is to watch good players who use that rubber and see if you like their style and want to emulate them.  For example, for SP, you could watch some He Zhi Wen videos or Australia's Miao Miao.
