Looks like you should use a medium-thin sponge and block/hit with it

Played with this for about 3-4 months in 1.5mm. Great rubber that blocks like long pips, very slow and well controlled. Hitting against backspin and drives are a blast and usually if the sheer speed doesn't win you the point, the sink will.
The biggest problem comes when you play much weaker players that feed you half high rolls with not much speed or spin, you can only smash so hard with these pips, since they do not produce enough spin if you wished to hit harder.
