5. Do you want to know if sponge hardness makes a difference to how table tennis rubbers play?
Back in 2012 I made a series of 3 videos about table tennis sponge thickness and asked the question does it make a difference. At the time I was rightly criticised for carrying on with the testing even after I'd found out that the sponge hardness was different on the two sheet's of Giant Dragon Maxspin. Part 1 of 3: 2.2mm vs 2.0mm TT sponge thickness - Physical properties and quality control issues? https://youtu.be/-k5SyIn4Ajw Well now it's time to put that error right with a test between two sheets of Tibhar Grip S rubbers in different sponge hardness. And by the end of it, maybe it will be compulsory for all manufacturers to list the hardness of their table tennis rubber, and common sense for all sellers to check what stock they are buying in and list the hardness on their websites. If you really want to know how sponge hardness impacts on the performance of a rubber, then here's your chance. There is still time to swap the test for different rubbers - just remember any you suggest, I have to buy and I can't currently stretch much beyond 2 sheets of Yinhee Mercury! If you like what you see, please like or subscribe or both! If you don't think this is a worthwhile test, please hit the dislike button. Which ever you choose to do, any constructive comments are welcome. Thank you.
