Can I ask how much the rubber weight uncut please?

Thank you Andrea for your detailed reply back! As soon as its on the Chinese market I will definitely give it a try.
I have 2 more questions, and that is how does it compare to standard target national? I've tried your target national before, and loved it for its feeling compared to typical Hurricane 3, although maybe slightly worse it was a great alternative for the price.
Secondly, I'm currently using Hurricane 3 provincial orange sponge 41º on the FH with 2 layers of haifu, if I had to get CP-tuned 41º do you think I would need booster, or since the sponge is more elastic how would I know how much to use to transition from H3 to this.

Thank you for long your long genuine reply.

Hello sir,

Good to see you,

For your one question: they are different rubbers; Target National is the feeling like mixed/ hybrid rubber.
Target CP-T is tougher and has more strength, and with Target National, you get the feel of European tension rubber when blocking. Target CP-T, however, places greater demands on your fundamental skills; it requires you to generate power correctly, but it will certainly reward your efforts.

As a speaker of the brand, I don't recommed to put booster on the sponge; I think you can have a try without any booster. And based on your feeling, then put booster on it.

After all, it is not a very tradition chinese sponge; the spring of it is pretty good.

It's mostly marketing nonsense mumbo jumbo to try to differentiate a product that's not really that different.

I actually think it is ALL marketing 🤣 🤣 🤣

Hello hope you are good!, for a player with 2 years of experience what forehand rubber could you recommend me that if possible that not requires booster, I am still struggle a little with opening backspin, so would like something like in 39 degrees a little forgiving, which target national you think could fit me?

Hello sir, I will recommend two rubbers to you,

Target Gordanga mid-hard or Target National.

Target National is a hybrid rubber, which has a sticky top sheet and a small core cake sponge.
Because of the cake sponge, the feel of it is like a once-boost Chinese traditional rubber.
Target National has a low throw angle and solid power support, with amazing spin. And more spring than Chinese traditional rubber.

Target Gordanga mid-hard is a hybrid rubber too.
But it tends more European tension rubber: half-sticky top sheet, mid-core sponge...
It offers better control, superior ball-gripping capability, greater forgiveness, and a higher throw angle than Target National. Target National wins on spin and second speed.
ALL in all, Target National is more aggressive; Target Gordange is all-around.

I have checked the player edition, seems interesting to me, how long in average they last with initial feeling? I assume they are factory boosted? I would like to try medium hard and soft for bh sounds really nice in paper!

Hello sir,

It is mid core cake sponge; we don't put booster on it.
It is springy enough, so you can play it for 3-4 months.
