Sponge thickness

Jackson Bollinger Asked 12 years ago

What way does the sponge affect play?   On a mark V fora beginner  what should I get as the thickness?  Do you have any recommendations on a paddle under 50 dollars?

Hi Jackson,

The sponge effects the speed and spin of the ball.  Usually the thicker the sponge the faster and more spin you can get.

I don't have a recommendation for a paddle under $50.  The closest we have is the PingSkills Rook.
