Hi Everyone,
Just glued a sheet of Haifu Whale 2 (Tension) & Imperial Factor X Spin offence onto a Zhang Jike ALC blade 😀
Haifu Whale 2 (Tension)
You can see the thick layer of glue/booster
instructions on the packaging said to -
remove both protective film layers, the one on the sponge side was a thick stiff plastic film.
Allow booster to dry off for 5 minutes.
Apply water based glue to blade ONLY and then stick on the rubber, leave for a couple of hours before cutting.
After the sheet had been cut, the glue / booster layer was peeled off of the off cut with ease. I think it was more glue than booster. Seems to have adhered pretty well though.
Imperial Facror X spin offence
This rubber has a softer sponge, and had a protective film on the top sheet.
initial tackiness test
Haifu Whale 2 (Power) - minimal tackiness, ball held for less than 0.25 sec
Imperial Factor X - slightly tacky, ball held for 1 sec
Bounce test
Haifu Whale 2 - 8-10 bounces
Imperial Factor X - 4-5 bounces.
Back of packaging blurb says it has a sticky surface, so I was expecting the ball to be held for much longer than it was by the Whale 2, Sponge is a dark red, labelled as ‘hard’.
Front packaging below. Is this a dodgy sheet or Haifu’s attempt at a Tenergy clone?? I was expecting tacky!!!! With the Factor X less tacky !!!
