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.

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.

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.
