In its untuned state, the Haifu Dolphin delivers a moderate speed level, suitable for developing offensive plays without the inherent catapult effect of modern tensor rubbers. However, its speed can be significantly enhanced through the application of boosters or tuning agents, making it a more potent offensive weapon.
Spin
The short pips provide decent grip for spin generation on serves and counter-attacks. The spin potential can be further unlocked and amplified through the use of boosters and tuning solutions, transforming it into a more spin-dominant rubber for aggressive play.
Control
This rubber provides a good level of control, making it suitable for players who rely on placement and consistency. The direct feedback from the short pips allows for precise shot execution, and the untuned nature ensures predictability without excessive speed or spin that could compromise control.
Dwell Time
The dwell time is moderate. The short pips provide a degree of grip, and the untuned sponge offers a responsive but not overly dynamic interaction with the ball, allowing sufficient time to impart spin and control shots, particularly in close-to-the-table rallies.
Tackiness
Haifu Dolphin exhibits a moderate level of tackiness, characteristic of many Chinese-made table tennis rubbers. This slight tackiness aids in gripping the ball, especially on serves and soft shots, contributing to both spin generation and a more sensitive feel.
Throw Angle
The throw angle is expected to be in the medium range, accommodating both driving and looping strokes without being excessively high or low. This allows for a versatile playing style.
