Sunflex Sun Control

While most table tennis companies trust the German manufacturer ESN when it comes to rubber development, Sunflex can rely on its own development team. As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of table tennis equipment, Sunflex usually provide their know-how to other, more well-known brands. However, Sunflex also offers its own competition blade product line featuring technology specially adapted to the plastic ball.

Tense Up sponge – The unique polymer combination creates a high tension effect inside the sponge. The special polymers increase the tensile strength of the inside walls in the sponge pores. This technology is specially geared to the plastic ball.

Apart from the Zeno, Sunflex offers two more rubbers with a tacky surface. The Sun Control is the perfect allround rubber for all those players who rely on maximum control and rotation. The developers have equipped a medium-hard sponge with a tacky surface. However, thanks to the modern sponge, the Sun Control offers better dynamics than conventional, tacky rubbers from China when playing with the plastic ball.

Service and service returns can be played with lots of rotation, and the same holds true for opening topspin strokes. This will keep the opponent from responding with hard counter-attacks. The Sun Control particularly suits allround play close to the table. Blocks and counter-attacks can also be played with high precision. From mid-distance, though, the rubber lacks some vigour. To mid-distance players we recommend the Sun Power, which is also tacky, but slightly faster and more offensive.
