I used the thin version on my backhand as a chopper.
This is a switch from the thin Curl P1.
When I used the Curl P1, chops had good spin but pushes didn't, so I tried the Curl P4, which is supposed to make pushing easier.
As for chopping, since it's a low-bounce rubber, it was very easy to control and I could keep the ball in stably, but compared to the Curl P1 the amount of spin was a bit lower, and the opponent's drives caught the net less often.As for pushing, pushes over the table were very easy, and I could put a decent amount of spin on them too.
However, when pushing from a bit further from the table, the ball just wouldn't carry at all, and it often didn't clear the net.This might just be down to my own lack of skill, but the misses on pushes stood out even more than on chops, so I'm thinking of switching to a different rubber.
Even on a bouncy chopper blade like the Zhu Shihe, the bounce still felt insufficient for this rubber, so if you're putting this rubber on an even less bouncy blade, you might need to pay careful attention to getting your pushes to carry.

You can tell it's a good set of pips just from how many people use it and from other people's reviews. That said, personally I'd recommend the P4 more to close-to-the-table pips players than to choppers.
If a chopper uses it, pushes are easy to put spin on, but chops are hard to spin — which is the typical downside of soft pips. On top of that, the ball tends to float. Just like the P1 chops well but doesn't push well, if I'm going to use a P4-type rubber, I personally think something like the P3aV, where chops don't float as much and pushes have more spin, fits what I need better right now. So it's a good set of pips, but I feel there are others that satisfy what you're looking for a bit better!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I'd been using Curl P-1 the whole time, and on a whim decided to put Curl P-4 extra-thin on my Wa no Kiwami -Ao- and keep using that, but with the P-4 I was bothered by how pushes came out as straight, spinless balls. So I got a used OX version of the P-4 and an extra-thin P-4 from my club and tried putting them on a Bionsero to test-hit.
First, regarding pushes, which I was most interested in, unfortunately both the OX and the extra-thin were the same — it's hard to produce variation, so I can only conclude that this is just how the rubber behaves (or maybe my technique isn't good enough).
As for how well chops bite, I often hear that a rubber without sponge cuts better, but honestly I felt no difference. For pushes, the extra-thin version was clearly more stable, and more importantly, I felt the range of spin variation was wider than with the OX. Thinking about it, it makes sense — since the OX has no sponge, both chops and pushes end up with a similar range of variation, and I felt that would be tough in an actual match since opponents would get used to it.
And as I wrote about the P-4 in soft form, just as I expected, the combination of the soft Bionsero and the P-4 didn't produce any speed at all, and I struggled especially with slow backhand shots catching in the net a lot. I think a harder blade would be better if you're going to use this.
In conclusion, I'm going to keep using the extra-thin P-4.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I tried this because a certain chopper was using it.
This was the first time I saw a chopper doing pushes with long pips.
Even though this rubber is OX (maybe because of that?), you can actually do pushes with it.
Both chops and pushes have insane amounts of spin.
Pushes are harder to return than smashes and carry more power.
Among long pips rubbers, this is one that's pretty much flawless.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Is this maybe the only OX rubber where you can actually push the ball properly? Pushing is surprisingly easy for a long pips rubber. I'd recommend the sponge version, but if you really want OX, you'll be amazed at how much the Curl series has evolved!

Among long pips rubbers, I found this one relatively easy to attack with.
It also has a good moderate amount of variation, so I think it's a really good rubber.All Speed Spin Control

Once you get used to it, it really bites hard! It's great because you can produce knuckle balls and variation too! If you return a curve drive with a knuckle ball, the ball wobbles hard right as it lands on the table and the direction changes drastically.
