Haifu White Shark II (2) (Untuned) offers moderate to good speed, particularly effective for drives and loops. It provides a surprisingly direct and automatic feel for a Chinese rubber, with speed stemming more from direct power transfer than inherent catapult. Application of boosters can significantly enhance its pace.
Spin
The rubber's grippy topsheet is capable of generating significant spin, especially on serves and topspin loops. It allows for a comfortable feel on both slower, spinny loops and harder, faster drives. The direct feel contributes to effective spin generation on close-to-the-table shots like flicks.
Control
Haifu White Shark II (2) (Untuned) offers good all-around control. Its predictable response, especially for a Chinese rubber, makes it suitable for players who need to execute a variety of shots with precision. The medium-high throw angle aids in managing shot trajectory effectively.
Dwell Time
The combination of a grippy topsheet and a medium-hard sponge provides a moderate dwell time, allowing for solid ball engagement and effective spin generation. This characteristic can be further enhanced with the use of boosters.
Tackiness
The topsheet is not tacky, relying instead on mechanical grip for spin generation. This non-tacky nature contributes to a more direct feel and consistent performance, which is typical for many Chinese rubbers of this style.
Throw Angle
The rubber produces a medium-high throw angle, which helps generate a good arc on looped shots and contributes to overall spin and control.
