On fzd alc, which ten 05 thickness would be suitable,

Is weight difference noticeably?
Is spin and speed difference in 1.9 mm?

1.9mm will be lighter for sure, but the sponge to topsheet ratio is altered, and there will be more wood than sponge compared to 2.1mm during contact.

so less spin would be the case.
I would rather, find a blade that is lighter by 1 to 2 grams, than sacrificing on the sponge thickness.

Sponge thickness is beneficial when attacking but bouncier in short game.
Between the 2.1 and 1.9 T05, I suspect a large amount of table tennis players would fail a blind test though...

SAFETY FIRST

Yes, we do strongly prefer 1.9 over 2.1, largely for safety reason.
Be aware please that China hucksters NEVER manufactured rubber forgery measured under 2.1 millimeters. Our aforesayed preference of 1.9 мм comes very, very reasonable, you can see.
