Revolutionary inventions?
 

What is your opinion about the recent technical solutions:
- Joola Tensor
- Bfly High Tension
- Stiga Air Capsule
- Donic, Joola, etc...thicker sponge

The very thick sponges from e.g. Maxima ,Makss , ....
are too soft for profi players so I think they won't use them.

Thickness vs softness
 

I am only a keen amateur. Do professional players use hard solutions?
I do not think so. I have got a list with types and brands the top 20 players play with. It is true that they never use thicker rubbers than 2.0 or 2.1. But the hardness? I really don't know.

These very max sponges were found to fit the 40mm ball, to take the same effect on the nowdays balls as 38mm balls. I have tried Joola Terminator 2.6 and Donic Supersonic S40 2.3 and I found them harder than Bfly Sriver FX 2.1 or Yasaka Mark V GPS max or Joola Tango Metallic 2.1. In my oppinion if the pro players wanted to use something hard they would use Joola Cava or Moskito or Friendsip rubbers...

:top: Everything is relative :flop:

Re: Thickness vs softness
 

Of course there are profis who play hard sponges.

Bryce!!!

Re: Revolutionary inventions?
 

In my opinion the second (Bty High Tension) and the third solution (Stiga Air Capsule) are rather useful and good. I have been using the Bryce for 2-3 years now and I am very satisfied. Al lot of people say that the new Stiga rubber Magna is very good, too.

they´re good, I think. but the ACS technologie is a little bit better than the butterfly high tension. but thats also relative.
