Bloom Spin

The spin-first Bloom sheet. Its softer sponge and very tacky topsheet produce a high arc and heavy rotation on opening loops from mid distance.

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.
