I play Penhold (RPB) inverted both sides, and started off with a stiff OFF friendship blade I no longer use. I want to use it to learn a Long pimples play similar to Tin Tin Ho, but more defensive: Serve with an inverted rubber, twiddle so FH rubber is now long pimples and use traditional PH fh and bh to block/reverse spin and occasionally rpb loop with the inverted style. I have some old inverted rubbers that will be fine, but know nothing about long pimples. I'm mostly looking for cheap, so probably chinese: globe, Friendship, Galaxy, DHS etc. My main question is do you think I should have a sponge or not and what is legal to play without a sponge? I understand that having the sponge is faster, so considering i'm playing flat hitting/blocking i should have a bit of sponge? what rubber do you recommend?
