The rule only states: The playing surface may be of any material and shall yield a uniform bounce of about 23cm when a standard ball is dropped on to it from a height of 30cm.
There are various thicknesses ranging from 15-25mm thickness. I've played with various thickness and I can feel that the thicker the table, the more solid and uniform the bounces on the table... but I dont understand why. I thought if 23cm height bounce is achieved, then the table should feel the same no matter what the thickness is.
Can experts here explain why? Thanks.
