TSP Triple Spin Chop

Amazing rubber for chopping and serve with effect. One of best of defence like a Butterfly Tackiness. I try on BH in red 1.0 mm and it's a great control rubber. TSP is the best of Long pimple with Curl P-4 Chop and Curl P-1R and now with pimple in defender ;-)

This rubber does exactly what it is meant for, chops like a dream designed for Classical Defensive Chopping. If people perceive it as fast, it's because the thin sponge allows the ball to penetrate to the wood giving it rebound. Therefore, that speed is very blade-dependent. It will seem fast on a Joo blade, and slow on a Defplay. In actuality, the rubber itself is VERY slow, and has a butter-soft, absorbing type of sponge. To loop, one has to really brush or skim the ball to avoid the sponge bottoming out. Driving, counter-looping, and power-looping is NOT what this is for, rather chopping and more chopping, and chop-blocking, and...oh by the way...chopping. Pushes are deadly and controlled like darts. Service is amazing, very spinny, but slow. Opening loops are great because typically there isn't much force to cause the rubber to bottom out. Flicking is VERY easy. All thin sponged rubbers flick well, typically. Best short game rubber. For choppers, this rubber works well along with sponged Long Pips, and if you twiddle, the feeling of the rubber is not much different than the LPs, unlike thicker types of inverted rubbers. It fishes okay, but far different racket angle is required because the sponge is so thin. IF you really want see how this rubber is meant to be used, watch the last remaining professional Classic Chopper Evgueni Chtchetinine, and how he uses it. He has the most amazing side-spin FH chop you'll ever see.

Excelent contlol. My favorite.
