Paddle Palace Q&A

Hello,
Hurricane 8 is a classic Chinese style rubber - its sponge is harder and takes more proper technique to operate at high levels. The 8-80 uses a softer hybrid sponge that engages easier. Overall, the 8-80 is easier to use for lower level players, while the Hurricane 8 is best for players with well-developed technique, to get the most quality on the ball.
