Pimplepark Cluster - The slower version with more control
Compared to the Pimplepark Wobbler, the
Pimplepark Cluster is the slower from both versions made by the German manufacturer Pimplepark. This
long-pimpled version was explicitly adapted to the properties of the new plastic balls, allowing you to perform your game similarly successful in the future.
The Pimplepark Cluster
without sponge (the so-called OX version) will optimally support your disruptive game close to the table. For one thing, the Cluster from Pimplepark offers a
highly controlled gaming behavior, which minimizes the amount of self-induced errors to a minimum. For another thing, the Cluster is equipped with
highly catchy heads of the pimples. This makes it difficult for your opponent to react appropriately, as you can generate
efficient blocks (causing problems for the opponent to reverse spin) and
unpleasant trajectories.
In case you prefer the defensive game from further away from the table, then a
version with sponge (0.5 or 1.0 mm) might be your choice. This allows you to play highly safe and spinny defensive strokes, which may indeed make your opponent desperate.
