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.

Variants and configurations

5 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.

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