Hello coach, I suppose that the sponge is very important to do and to learn topspin, my question what thickness, 2 mm or less the sponge hard or not hard?
Hi Martinand,
I think when learning the topspin go for something between 1.5 to 2mm depending on the speed of the rubber as well. So for a faster rubber go for 1.5mm and for a slower rubber you can venture out to the 2mm. Try the softer sponge as well as this will give you a better feel for the topspin initially.
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!
