Thickness

Andrea Turano Asked 15 years ago

Hi, i'm sorry if i ask these questions for the third time, but nobody has ever answered theme... i would like to know if the thickness of a rubber has an influence on the spin and the difference between a hard sponge and a soft sponge. thank you

Hi Andrea,

Ask the Coach.

The harder sponge works well with tacky rubber.  The softer sponges work well with both, because the ball can sink into the sponge more and wrap around the ball.  If you have a more horizontal swing the harder sponge will suit you.
