The
SpinLord Gipfelsturm has pips that are longer than those of most long
pips rubbers but this rubber plays itself almost like short pips with
the advantage of being at least as dangerous as half-long pips.
This rubber is very good for playing with spin, either flipping the ball over the table or playing a topspin.
Block
balls and counter attacks are very effective and comfortable to play
with Gipfelsturm and can be played aggressive with high speed or rather
passive.
In any way Gipfelsturm is dangerous enough to force the opponent to make easy mistakes.
Undercut balls and powerful shots are also possible, but for this Degu and Waran are better.
Please note that this rubber is can´t be produced with a thicker sponge than 1.8 mm.
At the same time, for most players, 1.8 mm will also be the best choice.
