“High Tension pimples-out rubber capable of producing unpredictable balls”
A pimples-out rubber with high elasticity created by impacting tension into the rubber molecule.
Spring Sponge X
In order to generate more speed and spin, we pursued a sponge that is easier to deform and more bouncy. The 'Spring Sponge X' used in the 'Dignics' series is about 14% easier to deform when the ball bites into it, and about 3% more resilient when it bounces back, compared to the 'Spring Sponge' used in the 'Tenergy' series. This difference makes a big difference in the power of the shot.
Sponge thickness guide
Each rubber has a lineup of multiple sponge thicknesses. Thinner sponge = lighter weight, lower bounce, suited for defensive play. Thicker sponge = heavier weight, higher bounce, suited for offensive play.
