Core Technologies and Construction

• Sponge: The Helix Platinum XH is built with an extra-hard 52.5-degree sponge. This is designed for high energy return, providing exceptional speed and power for technically skilled players who can generate force in their strokes.

• Top Sheet: This model features the signature high-quality, durable top sheet of the Helix series. The elastic surface provides an enhanced grip for generating high levels of spin while maintaining a good sense of feel and control during play.

Performance Characteristics and Player Profile

• Player Profile: This rubber is best suited for advanced, technique-savvy players who play an intensive offensive game. It is designed for those who have the skill to handle a fast, high-performance rubber and use it to dominate rallies.

• Speed and Power: The extra-hard sponge provides an explosive and powerful response, making it ideal for aggressive, offensive strokes that aim to overwhelm the opponent.

• Spin Dynamics: The Helix Platinum XH features the unique spin characteristics of its series. It is less reactive to an opponent's incoming spin, allowing for easier attacks against spinny balls. Concurrently, its grippy top sheet is capable of producing massive amounts of spin on serves, loops, and counter-loops.

• Arc and Consistency: The rubber produces a consistent and reliable arc on the ball, which helps ensure shot accuracy and allows players to execute their strokes with confidence, even under pressure.
