What do you believe the differences are between a rubber on a 2.0mm sponge and a rubber on a 2.2mm or MAX sponge?

i personally like 2.1-2.2, 2.0 is too slow for me but a good beginner thickness, i never liked max (2.3 and up) because i was a close to the table player, i think the thick max was suited for two winged away from the table loopers, not including the newer generation thick topsheets where the max is 2.1 i.e bryce or tenergy

Some rubbers have a soft top sheet and hard sponge, so max sponge would feel harder or vice versa. I like max/2.2, because I feel that I top out easier when using thin rubbers. I think the universal idea is thicker rubbers are better for looping, thinner rubbers better for flat hitting and chopping.

I can loop with 2.0 and enjoy the feel of the blade.
I need to be much better to really take advantage of 2.2. 2.2 is also 5 grams or more heavier. Between 1.8 (control!) and 2.2 I still choose 2.0 = best balance. |

2.2mm... better for offensive plays and strokes like looping, more suited to an experienced player 1.8mm-2.0mm sponged rubbers, for more allround 1mm-1.5mm for classic choppers Ginko |

2.2 would be faster and heavier than a 2.0...
2.2 less control, 2.0 more control O_O |

I think it all depends. I've tried rubbers where going from 2.0 -> 2.2/MAX wasn't particularly faster, but provided different "attributes" since the sponge was thicker and allowed different things. That's my main experience with tensors/new generation non-glueing rubbers. Especially with Tenergy 1.9 vs 2.1.

The only real difference for an experienced player is that 2.0 will be limiting your power. It's like having 3 gears in a 4 speed box :) you wont be able to use all your speed or else the rubber will freak out |

Wouldn't max sponge have a higher throw compared to 2.1?

The thicker the sponge the more pronounced is the catapult effect if any.
Also control drops a bit but spina nd speed go up (usually). There are some known strange exceptions - usually with the pips-out rubbers |
