Sponge Thickness and spin characteristics
Equipment
Debo : Asked 11 years ago
Sir,
As we know, almost every inverted rubbers are available with different sponge thickness. Now my question is about changing characteristics of a same rubber with different sponge thickness. Let's take a very common rubber now a days - Donic Coppa Gold (very commonly used inverted rubber)
Sponge Thickness 2.2mm (Max) 1.8mm
Speed Faster Slower
Spin ??? ???
Control Less Better
I want to know about the spin changes with different sponge thickness. Will it increase, decrease or no change?
Regards - Debo

Hi Debo,
The thicker the sponge the more spin you can get.

Sir,
What should be the sponge thickness for backhand rubber for a player who is looking for less speed, very good control but with good amount of spin.

Hi Debo,
Go for a slightly thinner sponge. 1.8 should give you all of that.

The wood will make a difference but not as much as the rubber.
A madeira vai fazer a diferença, mas não tanto como a borracha.
