Most of these pips come without sponge (OX) because it allows me to customize to the specs of each order. If I tried to carry every possible permutation of sponge under each pip I'd go mad. It's easier for me to just glue them to order, and it gives you the customer maximum customization. Place the add a sponge selection directly after ordering the topsheet you want it glued to.

I generally try to match the sponge to the choice for you. Generally softer with pips.


Add Sponge to Topsheet

Probably this is going to be cannon (white air sponge around 38deg), but may be substituted with other sponges of similar cost, or I may match sponges with the selection. Whatever I use it will be at least the quality of the factory sponge that normally comes under the pips, and probably much better. Be aware that many of the long pips with thin base are difficult for me to glue perfectly, but I think on average I do as good of a job as can be done. If you don't understand all this then it's best to just email me your questions before ordering blind.

Save $1 when ordering with a topsheet!

Air UPUPUPUP Topsheet (Long Pips)

I'm putting my best long pips topsheet on sale for $12, but only as an ox topsheet. If you want sponge you have to buy it seperately using the add a sponge button above, or by custom ordering your sponge. I have it factory made on 0.6 soft sponge in both types, so use the button below for 0.6. Other thicknesses I'll need to custom glue.

Air Panamera with sponge

Panamera is a spinny (not super spinny) short pip with checked tops that gives a nice feel and control with enough spin to make the ball do what it needs too but you can also block and chop with a fairly soft feel.

Dawei 388d-1 Regular and D1 Quattro Topsheet (Long Pips)

This is a semi-soft long pip that still gives some reversal, so it's kind of positioned between punching and chopping. If you sink the ball you can get some spin from the sides of the pips. I have the quattro version factory made on 0.6, so if you use the add a sponge button you will get the factory sponge. If you want to add thicker sponge, I'll glue it here for you.

The regular version is softer and has seen a resurgance in popularity among traditional choppers. NOW IN STOCK 388d2 blue and green

Color

SavigaV (Long Pips)

A Dawei-made long pip that is a little stiffer and more hitting-oriented than the 388d1.

Color

Air Classique Topsheet (Hardbat Pips)

This is a medium/short pip designed for classic hardbat play. Medium spin, good dwell. As versatile as a harbatter's game. It is ITTF approved and legal in regular events, but not on the list of approved rubbers for US hardbat events. This rubber is designed to use no sponge and I don't recommend it to be put on sponge.

*CLASSIQUE IS NOW ON THE OFFICIAL USATT HARDBAT LIST OF APPROVED RUBBERS*
