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.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

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.
