Dominance Speed Hard

The fastest Dominance: a hard 47° tensioned rubber for players who generate their own power.

Dominance Speed Hard is an offensive inverted rubber built around a hard tensioned sponge. It rewards a full swing with a direct, penetrating ball and stays stable when counter-hitting at pace, but it gives very little back on passive contacts, so the short game demands active hands. The thinner 1.2 and 1.5 mm builds are noticeably more controllable; 2.1 mm is the power option.

Colour, thickness and configuration are variants of one model — never separate products. Colour never changes a rating, MAX and OX stay qualitative labels, and OX carries no sponge hardness.

Offensive club and league players who want a spin-first inverted sheet on the forehand or backhand.

Dr. Neubauer publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
