Haifu Blue Whale II Factory Tuned Permanent Tension - Red Sponge *NEW*
Product Description
Blue Whale II with “Tenergy Spring” Sponge
Same high quality top sheet as Blue Whale II Permanent Tension, but now with a red sponge that plays with much more power and tension. If you didn’t think Blue Whale II could be improved, give this one a try and be amazed. The sponge plays just like the Tenergy Spring Sponge!
Haifu has been known for years in China for it’s Speed Glue (Blue Whale II Speed Glue and Shark II Speed Glue). Haifu BW2 speed glue has been used by several China’s Provincial Teams and several China National Team members in conjunction with DHS’s Hurricane 3. When the ITTF made the decision to ban speed glue effective September 1st, 2008, Haifu took the measures to develop its rubber line and came out a rubber that is meant to replace DHS Hurricane 3. Hence the similarity of BW2 and H3 in playing characteristics.
Each hardness level offered plays differently from the other. I use the 39 degree. The harder the sponge, the more potential power, but the more strength/athleticism required to utilize the full potential of the rubber. If you’re unsure where to start, I’d recommend trying 38 first.
