Sanwei Target National (Orange Sponge)

The Sanwei Target National is a hybrid offensive rubber designed for powerful forehand play, combining a tacky Chinese-style topsheet with a dynamic elastic sponge. Engineered for precision and spin, this rubber excels in loop-based attacks and third-ball initiations.

With a sponge hardness of approximately 39–40°, the Target National offers a firm yet responsive feel, ideal for players who prefer direct, linear strokes. The high-tack topsheet enhances spin generation, while the cake sponge delivers quick rebound and sustained energy, making it a strong alternative to boosted Hurricane-type rubbers—without requiring tuning.
