Dawei 388D GRASS 20 Long Pips Table Tennis Rubber

The Dawei 388D Grass‑20 is a dynamic long‑pips rubber designed for players looking to combine defensive control with tactical variation and occasional offense. Featuring soft and flexible long pips that are slightly spaced and small on top, this rubber creates a wobbling, unpredictable bounce, making it difficult for opponents to anticipate spin or pace.

Available in 1.0 mm sponge, the Grass‑20 provides slightly more rebound than OX versions while retaining strong spin reversal capabilities. It supports both precise chop defense away from the table and deceptive blocking or flicking close to the net.

Key Features & Play Characteristics

✅ Balanced Control with Light Offense
Delivers strong stability for blocking and chops, while allowing modest flick attacks when the opportunity arises.

✅ Low Vibration, High Feedback
The soft pips minimize shock, offering good touch and predictable handling during rallies.

✅ Adaptable for Multiple Styles
Works well for players using inverted on forehand and long pips on backhand, or for dedicated defenders seeking deception.

✔️ Defensive players focusing on chop-blocking and spin disruption
