Pimples-in Rubbers:
the elastic properties of the rubber sheet are important for the control of the ball and the character of your rubber. We therefore distinguish the following categories, acording to the character of the rubber sheet:

• HIGH FRICTION and CONTROL
These rubbers are not very fast, but provide a high grip. Their control is excellent. Due to the weak elasticity the grip can develop its effect on the top spin only when you play slow balls. Low spin dynamics in the fast top-spin game.

• STICKY
This rubber sheet offers high control AND is very sticky, which provides plenty of spin when playing slow balls. (service, first spin).

• CONTROL-ELASTIC
This rubber sheet has been developed in Germany. They develop spin elasticity even at low speed, and give you more control and more fun. Suitable for control-minded players.

• STICKY-ELASTIC
Slightly sticky rubbers with very good spin dynamics and ball control while playing at high speed. Very sophisticated technology.

• OFFENSIVE-ELASTIC
Fast offensive rubbers. The speed predominates the spin dynamics. Interesting rubber for speed players.

• SPIN-ELASTIC
Professional rubbers for modern top table tennis. They are as fast as the offensive-elastic rubbers, but have an additional spin component.

The Sponge
Sponges are available in several thicknesses. The thicker they are, the more difficult it is to control them, but the more spin you get in the top spin, and the les spin you get when chopping. See our points for control, speed and spin in the compact description in relation to the sponge thickness.

Sponge Thickness
Todays rubbers usually have three different measures for the sponge hardness. We always indicate them in our compact description.
