Hass
A fast offensive short-pips rubber with useful spin production, strong countering and a relatively forgiving active response.
Hass uses relatively long, narrow and soft-feeling cylindrical pimples to combine fast direct attacks with more topspin capability than a purely flat-hitting short-pips rubber. It rewards active strokes; passive contacts stay livelier than with Zargus.

Sauer & Tröger product photography is not licensed for TTDNA, so TTDNA renders its own neutral topsheet visualisation generated from verified construction data.
Official Sauer & Tröger data
Competition approval is only shown once it has been checked against the current ITTF list of authorised racket coverings. A shop listing on its own is not treated as proof, and an unverified covering is never shown as illegal. No reliable official Sauer & Tröger list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.
Construction characteristics
- Cylindrical pimples
- Longer and narrower pimples than Zargus
- Relatively soft pimple feel
- Built-in speed-glue-effect manufacturer claim
TTDNA ratings
TTDNA values are TTDNA's own editorially normalised 0–100 ratings. They are never an official Sauer & Tröger rating and never a conversion of the Sauer & Tröger manufacturer scale. Spin reversal is the returned rotation of the incoming ball. It is stored separately from the TTDNA spin rating, which measures the rubber's own spin production.
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

Data confidence
Variants and configurations
3 variantsColour, 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
Fast-block and hitting players — pen-hold forehands and close-to-table backhands that punish topspin early.
Sauer & Tröger publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
