The faster sponge also allows for more pressure to be built up in the active game, making it easier to score points with active counter-hitting and direct shots. The best compromise between control and disruptive effect is achieved with thinner sponge thicknesses (1.3mm and 1.5mm). With a thicker sponge, the rubber becomes faster but produces slightly less disruptive effect. The rubber is pre-glued.

A slight counteraction when blocking will also put the opponent under significant pressure, as the ball virtually “stays in place.” This works best with the thinner sponge thicknesses of 1.2 and 1.5mm.
