Sponge thickness and control on a carbon blade
Equipment
Mark Jung Asked 10 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.

Considering the rubber properties,it is better when the rubber is grippy.
This is not so much caused by the sponge thickness.
Correct,Alois?
Mark,
Maybe a softer rubber or a grippier top would help with this.
