Haifu Shark II Factory Tuned Permanent Tension - Yellow Sponge

China’s Answer to Bryce / Sriver

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 Butterfly Bryce / Sriver. 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 Butterfly Bryce / Sriver. Hence the similarity of Shark II to Sriver and Bryce

Each hardness level offered plays differently from the other. I use the 35 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 35 first.
