Pros and things to consider

Pros

• With a higher Stability rating than Variation, returns tend to be stable

• Makes it easy to vary spin, so returns are less likely to feel monotonous

Things to consider

• Without a sponge, it's harder to generate the power or bounce of an inverted rubber
• Its Variation rating is lower than Stability, so it's less suited to producing big variation
• Only available in Red, and only in the OX (no-sponge) thickness
