Tensor rubber users: what thickness?

On most tensors, if you have a strong FH it's no problem using max but most people wont on the backhand. Just listen to the rubber for a guide, if you can't get a loud click from it looping then you aren't strong enough to use that size or hardness sponge. Very very few people have a good enough backhand to use max there

It depends on your blade as well... a rock hard blade will bottom out easily with a thinner and soft tensor, but it might not bottom out as easily on a softer blade.

Tensor rubbers are fast and springy. So to maintain some control 2.0 is fine for me especially on my backhand.

Getting a tensor in anything but max is like buying a turbo charged economy car. It doesn't make much sense to me.

I recently went from max to 2.0mm on both wings and my game improved significantly.

For me, 2.0mm is more forgiving on "imperfect impacts" on the ball, as well as making it easier to block down higher rated players. Yet, there is still enough power to produce winning kill shots.
