About Roundell

Roundell (Combined speed 84, spin 86, control 86, 35°) sits with Rozena as accessible Butterfly High Tension. Soft and Hard change sponge; this SKU is the standard sheet.

It is not Tenergy. Players who want Spring Sponge throw go to 05 / 64 / 80. Players who want a linear classic Japanese inverted stay on Sriver.

Street price undercuts Tenergy. Spare-sheet story is Butterfly. Compare with Rozena if you are shopping the on-ramp, not with Dignics.

Factory thicknesses

Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.

1.8: Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
1.9: The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
2.0: Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
2.1: Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
MAX: Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
