Original sponge is hard, and not very springy. I wouldn't reccomend it. Japanese rubber is medium hardness somewhere in the 42-45 deg hardness. It's a pretty good sponge, but Cole can easily get you a far better sponge for basically the same cost. The National rubber is supposed to be 38 degrees from what I remember. The orange sponge on the red top was as advertised from what I remember, and the blue sponge on the black one was advertised at 38 degrees too, but it was rock freaking hard. The black on blue needs glue. The red on orange is pretty good. The Globe 999t on Saviga sponge is really nice. Globe 999 on Jap sponge is good just needs a few layers of glue before sticking it to blade to soften it up. EEII probably wouldn't be a waste of time on the jap sponge. Globe 999 on traditional sponge requires speed glue. I dont even know if EEII would do it, and even after the speed glue it wont be fast but at least it will be spinny.

tried all 3.. globe 999 regular chinese white sponge that i have tried was soft about 40 degrees very sticky compared to the jap version and national version.. the jap versio nthat i have tried was a bit faster and bouncier than the regular one and lighter.. the national version black rubber with blue sponge was quite disappointing on its weight because it was very heavy in fact about 5 grams heavier than dhs hurricane 2/3.. the good thing about it though is that the topsheet has a very consistent and nice quality compared to the first 2 and its not so sticky giving less reactions to spin compare to the jap and regular versions

hmm maybe you put too much glue and the sponge became too soft and mushy? 2 layers of glue for the red and black would do i think

Having tried all 3 main types of Globe 999, I found the Jap sponge version the best. It was the lightest and fastest and it also seemed to have more feeling than the National versions. (glued of course)
