Third in a three part series looking at the differences in performance between 2.2 and 2mm table tennis sponge thickness - using Giant Dragon Maxspin.
In this video league and social players test these two sponge thicknesses on the same blade and give their opinions on what they are like to use. In particular we consider speed, spin and control ratings. The results are quite surprising with a wide variety of opinion being given which leads to the question just how accurate are the speed, spin and control ratings given by manufacturers, even for the same rubber.
Other videos in this three part series are:
1. Physical properites including dome, curl, weight, top sheet, tacky test, grip test, cutting on a bubble in the top sheet and other possible quality control issues
and
2. Robot testing where we compare each sponge thickness for speed and throw height differences and identify a number of problems and factors that need to be considered when testing rubbers. We also include high speed footage of the ball making contact with the topsheet and visibly climbing up the top sheet.
