 Topic: Sponge ThicknessPosted: 06/16/2007 at 5:37pm |

Just wondering what is the best sponge thickness for chopping on the forehand and which rubbers are best, at the moment i have used tackiness C 1.5mm and today i used super defence 40 1.3mm. I found the super defence to be super fast even with the thin sponge, its a lot faster than the bryce 2.1mm i used to have, is there a reason for this cause afterall defence rubbers are suppose to be slow aint they. Have any one here used the super defence and what do you think of it. Thanks

Any more comments from anyone who have used this rubber, also for all who dont believe me i have decided to sell the super defence 40, the rubber has only been used once and i dont like it so am deciding to sell it. I will also trade for 1.7-1.9 takiness drive or chop but must fit onto oversize blade. Thanks

Maybe try Joola Tango Def with the 1.2mm sponge. It gives nasty chops and can even counterloop. That is the do it all defensive rubber! I would be using it if it werent so expensive.

i too found super defence a little too quick for my liking and not as spinny as i was expecting didn`t seem to grab the ball as well as :tackinessc,this was great for chop,slow spinny loop but not good to finish point.
tackinessd 1.5 does chop/ loop and is much better to finish the point,also donic slice 40 1.5 another sticky rubber does similarly as well and is lighter than tackiness d and works better if spinmax is used to boost the stickiness.some defenders use tsp triple spin chop on forehand although it only comes in1.0 i havn`t tried myself but will be testing for next season.(whan tennis elbow clears uP)

with out glue almost any rubber on the same blade in a very small thickness will feel faster than byrce becouse it is hitting the wood more directly

Well, i play the Super Defense 40 since one year in 1,6 on my backhand.
This rubber is truly faster than the values in the catologues suggest
- especially on fast paddles. But it is definitely slower than the
Tibhar Nimbus in 2,0 that i use on my Forehand

I thought defenders used pretty thick sponges on their FH's. I heard that Joo was using 2.1 sponge and that Chen Weixing was using max sponge on his forehand.

1.9 Tackifire Special Soft is a nice mix of the two -- it can loop with quite heavy topspin at an acceptable speed, and serves and (in my opinion) chops nearly as well as Butterfly's more traditional defensive sheets.
