Kokutaku Ultra Thin Table Tennis Rubber Sponge

The Kokutaku Ultra Thin is a specialized ultra-thin table tennis sponge designed for players who want to fine-tune the playing characteristics of pips-out or long pips rubbers. Unlike standard table tennis rubbers, this product contains only sponge and no topsheet, allowing players to customize their setup according to specific playing needs.

With its extremely thin profile, the Ultra Thin sponge significantly reduces rebound speed while enhancing control and ball feedback. It preserves the disruptive characteristics of pips while slightly increasing dwell time compared to OX setups, making strokes more stable without sacrificing variation.

Compared with thicker sponges, Kokutaku Ultra Thin offers greater touch sensitivity, lower throw angle, and improved precision, especially in blocking, chopping, and close-to-table control play. It is particularly effective for players who want more stability than OX, but less speed than conventional sponge thicknesses.

This sponge is commonly used in defensive, control-oriented, and variation-based playing styles, and is suitable for custom assembly with long pips or medium pips topsheets.
