Pips-out surface with a sponge rubber layer. Ideal for the player making the transition from “hardhat” to sponge. The pips-out surface will help reduce the amount of spin from your opponent. The sponge layer helps generate sufficient spin and better speed. Offers a softer feel at contact than the Cyclone. Meets ITTF’s red/black color rule stating one side of racket must be black and other red. This 2-Player set includes two Vortex rackets & three MK 2-Star balls.
