Core Technologies and Construction

• Sponge: The Helix Platinum H is equipped with a 50-degree hard sponge. This hardness is chosen to provide a balanced combination of speed and control, making it an excellent choice for players looking to push the limits of their offensive game without sacrificing stability.

• Top Sheet: This model uses the signature high-quality, durable top sheet of the Helix series. Its elastic surface composition provides enhanced grip for high spin generation while retaining a clear feel for the ball on contact.

Performance Characteristics and Player Profile

• Player Profile: This rubber is ideal for offensive players who want a fast, high-performance rubber but also prioritize control and tactile feedback. It is suitable for those looking to advance their aggressive game with a rubber that remains stable and forgiving.

• Speed and Control: The defining characteristic of the Helix Platinum H is its blend of speed and stability. It offers the power needed for an offensive game while the 50-degree sponge provides a higher level of control compared to the harder versions in the series.

• Spin Dynamics: Like other rubbers in the Helix line, the Platinum H is less sensitive to an opponent's incoming spin, aiding in blocks and returns. The grippy top sheet allows the player to generate plenty of their own spin on loops and serves.

• Arc and Consistency: The rubber produces a consistent and reliable arc on the ball, which enhances shot placement and allows for confident stroke execution, even during fast-paced rallies.
