About Skyline 3
Skyline 3 (Combined speed 82, spin 95, control 85, 40°) is sticky Chinese inverted, a little faster out of the pack than commercial Hurricane 3 on this index. 3-60 and Skyline III are other SKUs.
Figures are unboosted. After booster it is a different sheet. National Hurricane is selected H3, not a Skyline.
Buy Skyline 3 to learn brushing if commercial H3 felt too dead. Buy National only when the boosting routine is already a habit.

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
- 1.9
- 2.0
- 2.1
- MAX
- 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.
