This is probably the best piece of short pimpled rubber I have ever used. It is very fast and spinney. It is fairly difficult to control so I recommend getting 1.8 or 1.6 sponge and I t will still be very fast. Even if you do use 2.0 or 2.2 sponge it is very light so it wont affect your performance. It is really hard for my opponent to interpret the spin and pace on the ball. I would recommend using this on a medium-slow blade to allow more variation in the speed.

The Stiga Royal Pips are a combination of speed and spin from the Stiga Clippa and Radical. Made with semi medium sized pips, it gives you the perfect combination of speed and spin from a short pips rubber.

The throw angle and everything else is as usual with short pips. The shots are extremely fast, but also kind of float. You can create some pretty good spin on the ball, allowing for actual some arc loops you would get from inverted rubber.

Overall, if you play a short pips style, i highly recommend this rubber.
