Sponge thickness and control on a carbon blade

Mark Jung Asked 9 years ago

I have a carbon blade, and have opted for 1.5mm sponge rubbers to slow the setup down. However, while I have good control of some shots, I think I might be missing control on others (like flicks) due to a lack of dwell time. Should I be thinking about increasing the sponge thickness next time I replace the rubbers or do I just need to improve my technique?

Hi Mark,

I think it is more to do with the technique.  A thicker rubber will mean less control on shots, even flicks.
