Drive Spin is a traditional all-round covering ‘Made in Japan’. Its qualities: very substantial, lasting grip, moderate transmission of energy for greater versatility, fairly soft 40° sponge for heightened sensation. A classic for your allround game.
The GRIP EXTEND top-sheets enable you to transmit even greater spin in every phase of the game through increased elasticity and impressive level of grip.
The optimization of the density and geometry of the pimples is one of the keys to performance with the covering.
The SPIN combination guarantees control and rotation.
The grip is defined by the specificities of the sponge + topsheet and mostly by the characteristics of the topsheet (grip + elasticity + pimples shape). With a higher grip, the ball spin will be superior. Then, more elasticity will increase the contact surface with the ball. The shape and density of the pimples will also greatly influence the effect. Finally our technologies will bring enhanced “grip” performance.
Speed is defined by the specificities of the sponge + topsheet and mostly by the characteristics of the sponge (resilience ‘spring effect’ + thichness + hardness). Thick sponge (2.0mm or max) will be more suitable to OFF/OFF+ players whereas thinner (1.6 or 1.8mm) will offer better control and suit better all-round players. Sponge hardness is generally measured in degrees (higher grade means firmer sponge). Our technologies will bring enhanced “speed” performance.
This covering ranges is the result of an important joint Research & Development program conducted by Cornilleau and leading Japanese experts.
All our rubbers are accredited by the ITTF for official use in international tournaments.
