What style of play or long pips is suitable the dampening sponge?
Curl p1?

I haven't had much of a hit with it yet, but I put a thick sponge from the Storkraft anti on a sheet of Tibhar Grass D Tec S just for the heck of it. When I have more of an opportunity to hit with it on my robot I'll let you know.

Replacement of the original sponge disallowed since recently, sorry. The passing sign to be affixed to the sandwich rubbers on backside, it is mandatory for all major events. So far, only smooth sandwich rubbers are affected.

Be happy.

I have not seen nor heard anything from the ITTF indicating this. Can you provide any evidence?

A lot of pros especially anti players do play with top sheet with other sponges. Not sure what this means . Would you elaborate on this please ?

Dont read to much into it. Igor often makes troll comments against anti spin and pimples. There will be no substance to his claims.

I tried lp on rhe Air zero dampening sponge and found no benefits.Spin sensitivity is heightened and lp effects are nullified and became too easy for opponent to attack,imagine it could be even worse with p1r.Try p1r in ox you might be surprised at the dampening ability,works very well on fast blades including carbon under top ply

I had a short session with my robot, using the Grass D Tec S with the thick DMS sponge on my Deluxe Carbon blade. I did feel like control was improved, and I still got pretty good spin reversal. Maybe next time I have a match against someone I know, I will give it a try and see what they think.

Would appreciate if you record and post a link to this session. I am wondering how it would react but unfortunately my dtec ox is damaged

Next time I get a chance to practice I'll take a shot at getting a video.
