The dampening sponge is great for anti , for pips , it is fantastic to block powerful topspins,..other than that , reversal and disruption are greatly reduced , which for blockers is the way to perdition
But no mention of the fact that it is not approved under new ITTF rules to use a sponge that is not part of the rubber that is listed on LARC
That is no longer allowed.
