Notes:
802 is a classic Chinese hitting rubber that is also capable of topspin and
spin variations. To achieve topspin, 2.0mm sponge works best. For just hitting,
and blocking, 1.5 is fine and gives a little better control. 802 is one of the
few short pips that can scrub the spin off of incoming shots yet produce significant
spin. Used by the amazing Chinese champion Ding Song, for a devastating spin variation
game, many of the top European pros fell victim to his mastery of this rubber.
