Guma Tuttle / Beijing I

Tuttle Beijing I: The Classic Foundation of High-Control Sticky Attacking

The Tuttle Beijing I is the foundational classic that established Tuttle's renowned Beijing series. Combining a semi-tacky, elastic rubber top sheet with a soft 36-degree sponge (2.1 mm), Beijing I delivers a balanced blend of traditional Chinese spin characteristics and modern European touch. It is engineered for consistent allround-offensive players who demand dependable short-table touch alongside easy looping capabilities.

Key Performance Characteristics in Play

• Controlled Spin Delivery: The semi-tacky surface bites into the ball smoothly, delivering ample topspin without demanding extreme physical force.
• Safe Over-the-Net Arc: The 36° sponge cushions incoming speed, producing a high safety margin on opening loops that clears the net effortlessly.
• Short Game Stability: Excellent precision in passive returns, pushes, and blocks. The non-springy sponge ensures the ball stays low and tight.
• Comfort & Adaptability: Easy to transition to for players making their first move from basic rubbers into high-performance equipment.
