Driva Smash Ultima

The canonical spelling is Driva Smash Ultima; Drive Smash Ultima is stored as an alias only. The current official product page lists 薄, 中, 中厚 and 厚. An older category snapshot also mentions 極厚, which is preserved as a historical or conflicting option rather than published as a current one.

Approval evidence and market availability are recorded separately. A commercial listing is not proof of current ITTF legality, and an approval listing is not proof of current production. Approval is never inherited by an edition, and no expiry date is invented.

Market status describes current commercial availability only. A sold-out button or a low-stock warning is a stock state, not a discontinuation, and where availability could not be verified it stays unknown.

JUIC states hardness as a label such as S, MS, M or MH rather than a degree. Those labels are preserved verbatim and are never converted to an ESN degree.

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

TTDNA values are TTDNA's own editorial 0–100 ratings. They are not official JUIC measurements and are never a conversion of the JUIC manufacturer scale.

JUIC also sells large-ball rubbers such as Plarge 6, Plarge V, Plarge III and Master Spin Basic. This catalogue covers standard-ball rubbers only, so they are excluded rather than mixed into standard filters or comparisons.

Generations and editions are never merged automatically. NanoSpin and NanoSpin II, Neo Galaxia and Pro Galaxia, and 999 and 999 Elite are separate records, and no specification is copied between them.

Variants and configurations

6 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.

Known users

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

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