SPINLORD · Gepard · Medium pips
Gepard
Gepard is a fast medium-pips rubber in SpinLord's current range, made in China. SpinLord publishes it as Tempo 11, Effect 7, Control 8 on its own product scale, which TTDNA stores unchanged. Currently selectable sponge thicknesses are OX, 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm. It is available in OX. The sponge colour is orange. SpinLord describes the catapult effect as very high. Stated weight: low. Stated durability: very good.

Official specifications
Official SpinLord data: category, currently selectable colours and sponge thicknesses, sponge colour, catapult, weight, durability and country of manufacture, taken from current SpinLord product information.
SpinLord does not print a sponge-hardness degree for these coverings, so TTDNA shows its own editorial hardness band instead of an invented degree value.
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 approval is never inherited from another model in the same family.
No reliable official SpinLord list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.
