Product description
Drive Speed is a traditional rubber for offensive play. Its properties include clean and immediate energy transfer, strong and durable grip, and a strong 45° sponge for greater precision. A classic for every offensive player.
All Cornilleau rubbers are ITTF accredited for official use in international tournaments.
Speed
Speed is determined by the specifics of the sponge + top layer, and primarily by the properties of the sponge (the "spring effect" of elasticity + thickness + hardness). A thick sponge (2.0mm or max) will be more suitable for OFF/OFF+ players, while a thinner one (1.6 or 1.8mm) will provide better control and will be better suited to all-round players. Sponge hardness is usually measured in degrees (higher grades mean harder sponge).
Ball rotation
The GRIP EXTEND outer layers allow for even more spin in every phase of the game thanks to increased elasticity and an impressive level of grip. The grip is determined by the specificity of the sponge + top layer, and above all by the properties of the top layer (grip + elasticity + shape). With better grip, the ball's spin will be better. Then, greater elasticity will increase the contact surface with the ball. The shape and density also have a big influence on the effect.
