So the softer sponges offer more spin and control and the harder offer more speed (knowing that the rubber topsheet is the same)
Hi Giorgos,
Yes, the softer sponges allow the ball to sink in to the rubber better and wrap around the ball to generate more spin.
In this video we will discuss the differences between Inverted and short pimple rubbers. We will also cover the advantages and disadvantages of short pimple rubbers. Some of the advantages are that the ball travels lower and flatter over the net and that having one rubber short pimple and one rubber inverted provides variety making it more difficult for your opponent.
