16/02/2022 Does the job - recommended Review by Jo

Quality

Feels and plays like all-around inverted rubber. Does a bit of wobble effect/disruption.

17/11/2021 10 Review by Kalin Kanev

Quality

Everyone can say a lot of accurate or false things for these pips.
My personal opinion and from a few team members is this
The best short pips ever.
We all are playing whit pips all the time not part-time for fun.
Whit these pips you can play any kind of style attack-defense-block
The transition between is very easy.
If you are looking for kinky block returns these pips are not for you.
The pips can do a lot but you have to know how to play by any means.

Quality

Good balance: easy to play because control is good but at the same time unpredictable for opponent.

20/01/2020 Interesting Review by toni cirstea

Quality

It's different. It plays like small pips when blocking and hitting, and like long pips when chop, and serve to receive. It's good for chop, chop, chop. It's not medium pips, does not play like medium pips. So anybody looking for medium pips looks elsewhere. It's sponge its soft, too soft for me. I will try another blade with balsa, ALC does not work.

Quality

You can do everything with this rubber, block, hit flat, topspin, and loop. Controll is good.

02/03/2018 Slow pip Review by Lue Yang

Quality

This review is only for the rubber, not the service tt11 is having. This rubber is too slow and the pimples are too tiny as soft. I prefer moristo short pip.

Quality

Espinha curta de alta definição e controle nas jogadas tanto de back quanto de forehand. Recomendo o uso dessa espinha. Lamento apenas que só tem com esponja máxima 1.8mm.

30/08/2016 Performed as it's description... And more Review by Fazli

Quality

Better than the standard description as advertised. IMHO, it is better than Moristo SP, spinnier and more forgiving with the strokes.

18/03/2016 Best of both worlds between long and short pips Review by Kai Ho

Quality

This is my second Pimplemini from TT11 (Great place to get this rubber); this time to test a slightly thicker sponge (backhand).

The pips are medium length. I found it gives me the right balance between deception afforded by long pips rubber and control-spin-(some)speed by the short pips.

The thickness of the sponge made a difference. It's true what is commonly known - the thicker sponge is better for more aggressive play, more speed but at the expense of less control. The thinner sponge is better for not so aggressive play, slightly more control. It is also good for slowing the speed down; chopping; generally varying the speed to give your opponent a harder time.

my friend said not very good

17/06/2015 Decent Review by Lance Hiraga

Quality

Needs foam backing, Grip is good for cut shots.

10/06/2014 Effective block, also effective hit. Review by Sabri Iskit

Quality

I'm only 2 month pimple out player, it is difficult to say something yet. I tried short pimples (spinpips and blowfish) and couldn't play well, tried Donic twister, it was better, this medium pips Pimplemini fit me even better. I expected the spin rating of the rubber is lower but I found it is quite high. Very slight wrist movement at block it is sending the spins back in very different way. I'm using it at forehand on off- blade, when I succeed hitting parallel instead of spinwise it is effective.

30/11/2013 Awesome rubber Review by Thomas

Quality

I bought the red pimplemini with 1.0mm sponge. I was so surprised by this rubber its a long pimple rubber except it has shorter pimple length. Everything else about the rubber says its a grippy long pimple. Strangely its more spinny than some short pips, chops easier and hits more deceptively.

Usually you think a traditional medium pip with fat short pips would be a do everything pip, but they aren't. However pimplemini is !. If you've long wondered where that illusive do everything well pimple rubber is?. Its here, Nittaku pimplemini. Amazing stuff.

26/02/2013 excellent Review by jorge gonzalez poveda

Quality

I used several peaks gums and this is the best of all.
buy red rubber foam with 1.5 and is set on a blade victas Koji Matsushita. this gum is just great does everything well blocking is excellent and can head the ball anywhere, the blow-up is very good and cutting from behind going well and although the effects vary, but would do better with less foam.
is a thick rubber in 1.5 not much deception but is offset by the amount of returns, I think for a defense based on blocking and cut less expesor better but limited attack capability is also quite good.
sorry for my bad English
