Of course, since the majority of these were tested with sponge, the properties in OX could be quite different. Very good info for sponge players though.



OX on slower and softer blades is perfect in my eyes. On faster and harder blades tacky pimples need spong. OX on slower and softer blades is perfect in my eyes. On faster and harder bladesneed spong.

This may be true in some cases, but Tibhar Grass D.Tecs in OX and on a hard blade is widely considered the most disturbing pip there is at the table, while with sponge you rate it as equally disturbing as the relatively harmless Tibhar Extra Long.



Another highly disruptive pip in OX is Bomb Talent, which was rated as one of the lowest in disturbance with sponge.



So while I'm sure your findings are valid when using sponge, in my opinion I don't think they can be accepted as accurate for OX players.

Your are right. OX or spong depends on the rubber, blade and style. Some rubbers like the D.TecS can be played in OX at every distance and other long pimples need spong. I think D.TecS is an exception under the long pimples coverings Your are right. OX or spong depends on the rubber, blade and style.
