Noticeable difference in 0.2 mm steps

Equipment

Hi Alois,

for a beginner like me - would a difference of 0,2 mm in sponge thickness really make a NOTICABLE difference?

(The blade I use which was recommended in a shop is a Stiga Allround Classic with Andro Powersponge - 1,5 mm backhand

 and 1,7 mm forehand. Now I wonder whether changing the 1,5 into a 1,7 mm would be reasonable or exaggerated...)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Thomas,

That would be a reasonable combination.  The 0.2mm won’t be very noticeable.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
