This is the safe and reliable Spectrum rubber lol. I heard Chinese female choppers use tacky rubber, Def Play Senso, and Spectrum, so I tried copying them, but Spectrum seems really hard to master. It was too much for me — without the technique you just can't get spin on it. It's easy to produce knuckle balls, but a really ripping chop only comes with practice. If you can practice patiently, give it a try — it's a really high-performance rubber!

This rubber has been around since before I started table tennis, over 25 years ago.
These days it's also known for being used by female choppers overseas.
I think it's a great rubber if you want to use short pips. It doesn't have much bounce, so it's easy to control.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is a long-standing, long-running best-seller of a rubber.
It's easy to control and could be called "the" definitive short pips rubber. It doesn't have much bounce or quirks, so I think it's an ideal rubber for beginners to short pips.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

J.O My first short pips rubber

About two years after I started playing table tennis, I switched to penhold with short pips, and the rubber I used at the time was Spectol.
Angle-hitting was easy across the board, pushes turned into knuckle balls, and I could blast chance balls away in one shot — I was amazed by how well it performed.
For those first two years I played single-sided penhold looper style, but I was weak and had a poor serve, so I kept losing. After switching to Spectol, my win count went up, and it's a rubber that's done a lot for me in many ways.
I think of it as the benchmark rubber for short pips.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Easy to use, and it bounces a lot.
I had it on my backhand side, and somehow
I could even pull off knuckle smashes with it.
Personally, I feel like the logo is a bit too big...
I'd like to see it added to the newest ITTF rubber list.All Speed Spin Control

I've noticed a lot of recent female choppers (from China) using this rubber.
I was curious why an attack-oriented rubber would be used by choppers, so I tried it myself.
With long pips, when you receive topspin it basically comes back as backspin. Returning backspin with backspin also requires a high level of skill.Short pips can solve that problem, but unlike long pips, short pips get hit hard by the opponent's incoming spin,
which makes it difficult to control chops.
Maybe because the pips are thin, or because it slides just the right amount, Spectol let me chop while keeping spin on the ball, similar to long pips.
Of course, if you just block it, you get knuckle balls too.
Pushes were easy to do too, and attacking was very easy with this.
It might take some getting used to, but once you're used to it, I felt it's a rubber that can lead to wins.All Speed Spin Control

It's an all-round short pips rubber with no real weaknesses.
It's a real overachiever — it can do everything from penhold pips play to chopping.All Speed Spin Control
