Most of the pips-out rubbers are available as topsheets. The majority of the 729 inverted rubbers are as well.
| 999 and 999t - OUT OF STOCK RED T version | |
|
Price: $8.00 I like this topsheet a lot. Consistent, soft, good weight. Price is reasonable. Tacky. Don't ask me the difference between 999 and 999t. As far as I can tell, the t has a "t" on it after the 999 stamp. |
|
| Regular Palio CJ8000 | |
|
Price: $6.00 Lighter than most topsheets and about half tacky. Nice soft texture. |
|
| Palio CJ8000 - Quality B,C | |
|
Price: $8.00 This is a very high quality topsheet. I'm carrying it in 1.4mm which is feather light and 1.5 which is just a hair thicker. They're very euro...not super tacky but grippy and spinny because they're butter-soft. Good for putting on thick sponges while remaining within legal thicknesses. Perhaps a little fragile based on thinness but I haven't had any problems at all with them. |

| LKT Pro XT and XP tops | |
|
Price: $5.50 The popular friendship topsheets from the inverted rubbers. Fairly thin and soft. |
|
| RITC 2000 - OUT OF STOCK BLACK | |
|
Price: $5.50 This is one of the highest control tacky topsheets I know of. It plays kind of like Cream but flatter. It is a little better for chopping, pushing, and flat hitting. It's a favorite for defenders or mixed players, depending on the sponge. Usually on FH they'll go with 1.8mm-2.0mm; on BH more like 1.5mm. |

| AIR Zero Sponge | |
|
Price: $10.00 This stuff isn't really so much sponge as it is more of a foam. It's made to absorb the speed of balls, most commonly used with pips. Can be used with inverted topsheets as well. Works well for chopping if you really want to put on the breaks. |
|
| Dawei Quattro | |
|
Price: $9.00 Very euro sponge with some glue feel. Slightly springier than saviga. Available in 1.8 2.0 2.2, and 2.3, densities 35, 40 and 42. 42 in 2.2 only. |
|
| Dawei Butter (30deg ultrasoft)*OUT OF STOCK 2.2, 2.3* | |
|
Price: $10.00 Ok, it's a stupid name but it's just so appropriate (color and texture). True 30deg sponge is a different formulation from saviga or quattro and is more expensive to produce. No, it's not fast at that hardness unless you glue or tune it. I first had this developed to use with tuners before we found out they would also be banned. But if you do want to use a tuner, this sponge will click with it better than saviga or quatro even in 35. I've sent some prototypes out to some of my soft sponge loving customers and it's been well recieved. Some people use it dry, simply because it isn't fast and give so much spin and control, and it does click nicely without glue. Also found to work well when taming a blade that's too hard/fast. This sponge requires a quattro upcharge if you're getting it in a combo. |

| Dawei Lightning (Cannon) | |
|
Price: $5.00 This is the remarketing of the cannon sponge. I carry it from 0.6 to 2.2 and it typically runs around 38deg. For years this was the best sponge I carried and it sold for $8. It still sells for that on another major seller's website. Cannon, Dawei's low end sponge, is still better than most chinese companies' best sponges. If you're ordering this with a pips-out topsheet, you can select it in the "add a sponge" section of the pips page for a lower price. |
