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.

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...

Everything is relative

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.
