I recommend the rubber sponge 1.7mm to beginners. Those whose table tennis skills are 0 or -10.
This rubber is suitable for those who are “Wood” in tennis, with a sponge thickness of 1.7mm.

Once upon a time, a long time ago (in 2011), this rubber was reviewed here for the first time by Marcello. Back then, people still played with celluloid balls! Today, 13 years later, this rubber is still on the market and, without a doubt, is one of the best backhand (BH) rubbers available.

It may be too soft for many players for their forehand (FH) side, but due to its very tight top rubber, it is a medium-fast, very spiny rubber with good catapult. The sponge hardness is specified as 40 degrees, and the total hardness is 50.2 degrees (according to Spin and Speed in Germany), which corresponds to the total hardness of the Aurus Select (with 45-degree sponge).

Here are a few more facts about the rubbers I bought:

  • Red 1.7 mm: original packaging 90 g, uncut 59 g, cut to 157 x 159 mm only 40 g.
  • Black 1.7 and 1.9 mm: original packaging 86 g, uncut 57 g, cut on Cybershape dimensions only 42 g.

Conclusion: I have already largely submitted it. Not only is this rubber really excellent, but it is also very light and helps to minimize the weight of the blade. It is definitely suitable for beginners, but also for players up to intermediate levels.

Spin excellence. Great rubber for underspin, looping, and blocking.
