Description

Drive Intens offers incredible control whilst enabling powerful acceleration. It’s as if it absorbs the energy in the passive game and releases it into the active game. With its 40° IN-TENS sponge associated with a more high friction optimised topsheet (GRIP EXTEND and SOUND technologies), Drive Intens is loaded with elasticity and feel, which enables versatile players to easily control what is essentially a dynamic and resonant rubber!

Spin

  • GRIP EXTEND

  • SOUND

  • Spin

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 SOUND combination guarantees sensation and decibels. 

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

  • Speed

  • IN-TENS

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. 

The IN-TENS sponge is an adaptation of our IN-TENS² sponge. It provides incredible control combined with powerful acceleration. It’s as if it absorbs the energy in the passive game and releases it into the active game. Unique sensations guaranteed!
