For the ABS plastic ball. Light, with reasonably good speed, tacky, and quite consistent. This is the forehand rubber of choice. This has much more power (spin and speed) and comparable control compared to the Hurricane 3 rubbers. Moreover this does not even need boosting. After playing with Friendship 729 Battle II provincial blue sponge, even the Hurricane 3 Provincial blue sponge 39 boosted with 3 layers of Haifu sea moon seems dead and powerless. This is the Best and most Underrated tacky Rubber in the market. In the provincial series, the black rubber comes in blue sponge and the red rubber comes in orange sponge.
