	I was wondering if anybody knows about bomb? I bought a sponge from a Chinese store and the shopkeeper told me the sponge is called "bomb" and is Japanese. On eacheng.com it is listed under japanese sponges, but I have my doubts. Does anybody know about the qualities or characteristics of the sponge?

	oh really? Interesting. I have 2 bomb sponges, glued on 729-2 topsheets. I was surprised at how well it plays on the forehand, because I thought the sponge was just some cheap sponge. It is very very hard, but feels different from Hurricane hardness. Somehow, it feels more rubbery/more tension. When I glue thin layer of speed glue, there isn't much affect, but with 3 layers, it seems to react quite well.

	There is a bomb carbon sponge that is grey, and a thunder sponge that is white. I used to carry them, but truth is the dawei sponges play just as well glue up with a lot better click. Plus I had to sell the bomb sponges for like $12 a pop and didn't make any money at that. But they are good sponges as chinese sponges go. Heavy, but good speed.
