Haifu · Haifu Marine · Pips-out, geometry unresolved

O. Orca

O. Orca is confirmed as a pips-out Haifu rubber, but the available sources disagree on whether the pips are short, medium or long. Rather than guessing, the rubber type stays empty and the surface is recorded as an unresolved pips-out surface. No thickness list, hardness or rating is published until the geometry is confirmed.

Approval evidence and market availability are recorded separately. A commercial listing is not proof of current ITTF legality, and an approval listing is not proof of current production. Approval is never inherited by an edition, and no expiry date is invented.

Market status describes current commercial availability only. A sold-out button or a low-stock warning is a stock state, not a discontinuation, and where availability could not be verified it stays unknown.

Haifu states sponge hardness on its own degree scale. Those values are preserved verbatim and are never converted to an ESN degree.

No reliable official Haifu list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.

TTDNA values are TTDNA's own editorial 0–100 ratings. They are not official Haifu measurements and are never a conversion of the Haifu manufacturer scale.

Short pips, medium pips and long pips behave differently: short pips hit flat and generate some spin of their own, medium pips add wobble and partial return, and long pips mainly return the incoming spin. Generated spin and spin reversal are separate ratings.

O. Orca is confirmed as a pips-out rubber, but sources disagree on the pips geometry. Its rubber type stays empty rather than being guessed, and no rating is published until the geometry is confirmed.

Haifu also sells glues and boosters such as Sea Moon and the Blue Whale glue and booster products. Those are not rubbers, so they are excluded from this catalogue rather than mixed into rubber filters or comparisons.

Commercial, provincial, national and training editions are structured properties of one canonical product, never separate records. Factory tuning is stored per edition and is never inferred from an edition name, and an edition never inherits the commercial version's approval.

Factory tuning status is a separate fact from the edition level. Where no source states whether a sheet leaves the factory tuned, the status stays unknown rather than being assumed.

Generations are never merged automatically. Blue Whale I, II and III, White Shark I, II and III, and Pirates 07 and 08 are separate records, and no specification is copied between them.

Variants and configurations

1 variant

Colour, thickness and configuration are variants of one model — never separate products. Colour never changes a rating, MAX and OX stay qualitative labels, and OX carries no sponge hardness.

Known users

Offensive club and league players who want a spin-first inverted sheet on the forehand or backhand.

Haifu publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
