Im using Monkey 0.6 mm long pips, and I find it very versatile and well-balanced while offering great control. Depending on the force and technique applied, it can produce noticeably different speeds and trajectoriessometimes the ball goes straight and sinks, and other times it floats. This rubber also handles attacking techniqueslike flickingremarkably well, especially when I pair it with the S&T Banana blade. So far, I cant think of any weaknesses in this rubber.

Definitely the worst rubber to play against. Its disruptive game is so annoying, it makes you wanna break your racket and kill yourself. The ball is god knows where - very hard to smash it: one moment it is coming at you, the next it bounces away or drop flat. I am definitely buying it for a try.
It is a nightmare to play against somebody with Monkey OX. Pips are doing their job too well. The ball flies with crazy trajectories and bounces. I hate it. But that's exactly the point isn't it? ;)
Used it OX with sauer's banana blade, which is the recommended blade for this lp. Great with active strokes, surprisingly good on passive ones. I can even counterattack topspins. Chops weren't dangerous but well controlled. Easy to change pace and make the ball sink fast. It is a close to the table lp with good allround capability. Works with multitude of different tactics. In offensive it's a setup tool for attacks or straight up attacking with lp. Works also for disrupting game and for moving your opponent around. Playing with the monkey is as easy as it can be while still maintaining the danger element.
