From my understanding of the rules, the sponge under a rubber is unregulated except overall thickness with the rubber.  Therefore couldn't you put a thin soft/short/touch spong AND a thin hard/power sponge under that and then maybe produce greater spin/speed/control. A compromise without compromise if you will. OR is this just a luney bin idea from a late night thought.

BTW who wants to test it first

Great idea, I also thought about it...

But I think you'd have to mix these two sponges, to have a good result ---> Speed + Spin...
Although I think there are some crazy guys in this forum, who would like to try ! (Pics please)...

I have not constructed sponges to rubbers nor sponges to sponges combined with a rubber... However, would there be adequate cohesion between sponges for consistency throughout the surface area?

It does sound interesting though.

its illegal to glue two seperate sponges say a 1.5 hard base layer and a 1.0 soft together and then put on a topsheet, some companys like the armstrong seikifu ss rubbers the sponge gets gradually denser as it gets deeper they pursposly make it like that also sriver kawa is like that but thats impossible to find
