Helix Hybrid XH is the extra-hard alternative in the Helix Hybrid series, created for attacks with maximal power, extreme speed, and high precision. With an extra-hard sponge of 52.5 degrees and its slightly sticky surface rubber, this rubber rewards advanced technique with extreme response and precision. What makes Helix Hybrid unique is its combination of an explosive sponge from the Helix Platinum series and an extra-grippy, slightly sticky surface rubber. The result? A modern, hybrid feel in play that combines the best of both worlds – the powerful response of European tensor rubbers and the control, spin, and ball sense that characterize typical hybrid rubbers. You’ll notice the difference right away. When you’re close to the table, you experience confidence and control, along with fantastic touch, in the short game, serve returns, and openings. At the same time, the powerful sponge gives you explosive response and high ball speed when you attack or play further away from the table. The slightly sticky surface rubber improves grip on the ball and helps you build more spin, a longer ball trajectory, and higher quality in your offensive shots. The combo of grip and precision makes it easier to vary your shots, add pressure to openings, and control the tempo in duels. H-Touch Tensor Technology delivers consistent speed and high precision in active shots and the Microcell Energy Sponge optimizes energy transfer for explosive acceleration and high ball speed. Helix Hybrid is available in the following hardnesses to match a variety of playing styles and preferences: M, H, XH, and 55. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS! * Explosive power when you attack.
