Sponge thickness for developing player

Hin Cheang Asked 7 years ago

Hi,

My friend is in the level between beginner and intermediate, he has good enough feel for spin and spin, but he wants to develop the feel more. His rubber has been totally worn off and would like to replace with a new rubber, would a 2.1mm sponge be suitable?

Thank You

Hi Hin,

Yes a 2mm sponge is OK as long as the rubber speed isn't too fast.  Something like Mark V 2mm is ideal.
