729 Battle II

A hard, very tacky inverted covering for active forehand topspin. It offers extremely high spin and strong top-end power, and it is sold in several commercial editions that differ in sponge, hardness and grade rather than in the approved covering itself.

Approval status unknownCurrently produced

Official specifications

Friendship covering families and commercial editions are kept separate so sponge, hardness and regional versions do not create duplicate products.

Friendship publishes sponge hardness on Chinese degree scales without a named laboratory standard. TTDNA stores each value exactly as published and never converts it to Shore A, Shore C or an ESN equivalent.

Colours are only listed when an ITTF covering entry verifies them. Red and black are never assumed.
