Difference between 2.0 and max

[ZJK-Fan]

How big is the difference beteween from 2.0 to max from the Same rubber

It depends on the rubber of course, but it's usually about 0.3-0.4mm.

.Ok, ok, cheap joke But seriously, the 2mm usually has less spin/speed but greater control.

I think you'd have to be an absolute top player to notice a difference between 2 mm and Max. Except with one of those racket-measuring thingies of course.

One of the "organisers" at my club's old fogey sessions - I put that in quotes as he could barely organise a visit to the adjacent supermarket - insists, purely on visual inspection, that my Aurus rubbers can't possibly be 2.1mm sponge, despite the fact thay they came out of a "2.1" packet. I have learnt to ignore this sort of nonsense.....

It is entirely possible for 2.0 to have LESS control than 2.2 or MAX.

2.0 sponge does not loop nearly as well as 2.2 or max. 0.2 mm makes a HUGE difference in the spin on loops using the sponge moreso than hitting through the ball.

Now for one who hits through the ball with more solid contact, a thinner sponge can give that kind of shot a higher degree of control and accuracy.

Thanks, how much fastet is the rubber with max instead of 2.0

 

[Tinykin]

Again it depends on the rubber and what you mean by fast. The max rubber will probably cause more curve on the ball's path, thus the time taken from hit to landing spot may be the same....or different depending on your stroke.
To answer directly, in practice the time difference between the rubbers is too small to matter.
Read again what Der Echte said above, it's a very good summary.

That depends on the blade and the rubber. Some rubbers with 2.0 sponge on a seriously solid OFF+ blade can still make the ball break the sound barrier on a smash without losing any notable speed.
