Domination Speed Soft

The softest Domination: fast but comfortable, with a wide timing window for the backhand.

Domination Speed Soft keeps the family's speed while softening the impact. The ball sinks into the sponge, which helps blocking and the short game and makes the rubber forgiving on off-centre contacts. It is a strong backhand option for offensive all-round players. Domination is a different official family from Dominance.

Approval status follows the Dr. Neubauer catalogue check recorded on the date shown.

No reliable official Dr. Neubauer list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.

TTDNA values are TTDNA's own editorially normalised 0–100 ratings. They are never an official Dr. Neubauer rating and never a conversion of the Dr. Neubauer manufacturer scale.

TTDNA ratings are normalized comparison values, not laboratory measurements. They are built from published specifications, technical sources and structured product evidence, converted to one 0–100 scale. Where a directly comparable measurement is unavailable, the value is an evidence-based estimate. Overall-style scores are composites of several characteristics. Methodology

Variants and configurations

4 variants

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.
