Kabeer Sayed Asked 7 years ago

Hi Alois,

How does the thickness of the sponge of a rubber affect someone’s game?

Thanks

Hi Kabeer,

The thicker the sponge the more speed and spin you will be able to generate. If you are looking for something faster then go for a 2mm or 2.2mm sponge. For more control go forsomethingo thinner.
