About Roundell Soft
Roundell Soft uses pre-tensioned tensor sponge with a catapult effect and relatively low dwell and a grippy, non-tacky topsheet typical of European tensors. Manufacturer sponge hardness is 32° (Tensor); a cut sheet is about 43 g. Factory sponge thicknesses: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. Roundell is a High Tension sheet a step below Tenergy, with Spring Sponge in Soft / standard / Hard versions.
On the TableTennisReview 0–100 index the Combined figures are speed 80, spin 84 and control 90 (official mapping 79 / 83 / 89). That is a mid-to-high speed inverted profile for balanced allround play. Hardness, weight and thickness above are factory facts — not lab tests.
Community score 8.7 / 10 from 310 reviews. Indicative European street price €38. Compare Roundell Soft with other Butterfly Roundell and inverted rubbers on the same scale, or open the catalogue filters for ALL inverted sheets.

Factory thicknesses
Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.
- 1.8
- 1.9
- 2.0
- 2.1
- MAX
- 1.8
- Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
- 1.9
- The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
- 2.0
- Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
- 2.1
- Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
- MAX
- Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
