Sponge and Rubber Thickness
Equipment
Sharlynne Go Asked 13 years ago
Hi,
I am very new to table tennis. I visited a website that sells equipments.
It is clearly written that sponge thickness is 2.0, but why are there 1.5... rubbers?
Aren't sponges part of rubbers?

Hi Sharlynne,
THere are different options for the thicknesses of the sponge. The thicker the sponge the faster and more spin you will get with it. Manufacturers juts offer them in different thicknesses for players that want to get different effects with the rubber.
It just adds to the confusion.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
