Soft/Hard Sponge

elrigo99 · Jul 1, 2014

Surfing on the internet I found out that usually hard sponge works better on a harder blade and viceversa for the soft sponge. Is this true? And if so, why (meaning what the consequences are, not the scientifical explanation, although you can put it if you want lol)?

I'd prefer to balanced them out, eg: hard wood (stiff feeling) with a softer sponge.. But with great control, Hard wood + hard sponge = explosive power though.. and softer sponge + softer wood means you'll have more control for your play.. CMIIW

that's also my opinion,combining soft sponge to hard/stiff blades to balance the power and control depending on your playing style...but some soft sponge has more spring effect, therefore if combined with hard blades it'll be powerful...well each stuff has different characteristics so i see to it that it suits my style...

I think it depends on the producer of blade and rubber. sometimes stiffenes is different

depends on if you want speed or control

Me, soft wood with hard sponge.

ATM I'm playing hard blade/hard sponge but I'm about to return to Bluefire that is softer than H3. Was thinking of trying the Tenergy 05 on this blade. Does anyone know if it's ok to put such a hard sponge on a hard blade?

I always thought hard sponges fit hard blades the best, not neccessarily stiff, just hard.

hard sponge hard blade is a good power combo.i prefer soft blade hard sponge for fh and soft sponge on bh

hard sponge definitely. more feel and power!

I like hard sponge on FH,medium on BH.Hard sponge on soft blade is better than soft/hard sponge on hard blade for me

I don't like use fast and stiff blades with any type of rubbers because I don't have enough control

Perhaps it also depends on your playing style but as a looper, I think the opposite, usually hard sponge/rubber works better for me on a softer blade. And vice versa. I think most loopers like hard rubber on a softer blade. And hitters like soft rubber on harder blade.

it works better on a hard blade

This is what I love about TT. So many different options and everyone can feel theirs is the best. I like to mix and match for the perfect control feeling.
