DRIVE INTENS

GRIP EXTEND

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. 

SOUND

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. 

Spin

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 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. 

IN-TENS

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!

Made in Germany

This range of rubbers' made in Germany' is the result of a reasearch and development program involving Cornilleau experts, Michelin engineers and the world's largest manufacturer of coverings.

ITTF Approved

All our rubbers are accredited by the ITTF for official use in international tournaments.
