For a short pips rubber, this one really grips and spins a lot.
Compared to other popular spin-oriented short pips like Morrist SP AX or Impartial XS, this felt like a completely different animal. Those two are soft and give the impression of spinning by really sinking the ball into the sponge, but with the Spin Pips D2, techniques that work the surface produce spin, while techniques that sink the ball into the sponge produce knuckle balls.
In other words, serves, pushes, and chiquitas tend to come out spinny, while drives, smashes, and blocks tend to come out as knuckle balls. So until you get used to it, it's hard to tell where the spin is coming from and where the knuckle is.
I think it's a rubber that can really confuse your opponent, so if you want to play short pips, definitely put this on your list of candidates!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It has good compatibility with the blade I'm currently using. My forehand rubber is Fly Att Hard and I really like this pairing. It gets decent speed, and I found myself wondering if it's actually inverted rubber given how much spin it gets for a short pips. I think this is a great choice if you're switching over from inverted rubber.

Person on the pen table (Experience: More than ２０ years) My favorite rubber in a long while

I put the 2.0mm thickness on the forehand of a Rapid Carbon Chinese-penhold blade (discontinued).
Compared to the VO102 and Spin Pips Blue, it felt way more stable.The knuckle effect doesn't come out naturally on its own - it felt like something you have to bring out intentionally.
If you brush the sheet surface, serves felt like they got good bite too.
The sponge is firmer than I expected, so if you put in a solid impact, angled shots feel great to hit.
The short game in particular - stops, flicks, and the like - felt stable.
It's easy to vary the strength of your shot and easy to control, so I'd like penhold short-pips players to give it a try at least once.

For forehand drives (long strokes) and smashes, the feel on contact is kind of unpleasant.
Compared to using Spin Pips Red, the way the ball flies and the feel left in my hand afterward are completely different.
It doesn't seem to travel forward much.
Is it soft? Or is the sheet hard? Hard to tell.
Maybe it's like hitting with a long-pips rubber that has a hard sheet?
Pushes do get spin on them.
Wondering if it just didn't suit my blade, I tried it on a Darker Aqua Blade too, but it still wasn't great.
It's disappointing since I'd been using Spin Pips for a long time.
I'll look for a different rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Hard. Doesn't fly.
If your playing style is staying glued to the table and just tapping the ball back and forth, you might get some benefit from the increased spin, but
I think users of German-made spin-oriented tension short pips will find this hard to use.If anything, I feel like the Spin Pips Red actually matched modern table tennis better.
This feels like just a token performance bump for Spin Pips fans.I understand they needed to differentiate this from VICTAS's own original VO102 somehow, but
if it's fully Chinese-made, I'd have wanted at least something with a sharper edge, like a "pre-tacked" (yidading) sheet.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Fore table (Experience: １１〜２０ years) The best spin-type short pips?
-
2021/02/15
I've been using the VO102 for a long time, but I bought this after watching the developer's introduction video.
It was described as the ultimate short pips for generating spin, a Chinese-made tension rubber that bounces really well.
The pips are arranged in rows and are smaller than the 102's, with wider spacing between them, so at a glance they look almost straight. Compared to the 102, this one doesn't bounce at all and doesn't generate much spin either. It is stable, though.
Both the sheet and sponge feel considerably harder than the 102's, so if you're someone who can put in an impact suited to the rubber's characteristics, you might get different results.
Maybe it grips about as much as other companies' spin-oriented short pips?
I used it on the forehand short pips of a shakehand setup, but I won't be using it again.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
