The DOMINANCE SPIN HARD rubber exists in several versions. There is a main standard version with a sponge of 47 degrees (since it is the main one, the degree is not indicated in the name). And there are several additional versions that differ slightly in stiffness - 44, 50 and 53 degrees.
The hardness of the sponge is 44 degrees on the company's scale (keep in mind that these are not the same degrees as Yinhe or DHS). These 44 degrees are slightly stiffer than the regular DOMINANCE SPIN which has a 38 degree sponge and slightly softer than the standard DOMINANCE SPIN HARD version which has a 47 degree sponge. That is, an intermediate option between DOMINANCE SPIN and DOMINANCE SPIN HARD 44 degrees, close in functionality and properties to both of them.
This overlay is slightly more rigid than the average, but it does not belong to the very rigid ones, it is noticeably softer than the most rigid ones. We can say - moderately hard.
The game differs from the usual DOMINANCE SPIN by a greater linearity of behavior. That is, on weak touches, the catapult turns on even less. But it turns on on powerful topspins and strikes. Control in the short game, receiving serves, cutting on the table is even higher than that of DOMINANCE SPIN. The block game is just as good. The topspin spin potential of DOMINANCE SPIN HARD 44 is even greater, the main thing is to have the technique to implement it.
DOMINANCE SPIN HARD 44 degrees - frisky rebound, but not a super-fast attack rubber. Very tenacious and very controlling, which reminds me of the old Domination. The tensor character turns on well in topspin and impact, while the rubber does not shoot balls with weak contact. That is, the tensority here is not Off + but more calm. Cuts well and generally plays on the table. This rubber is well suited to attacking players who value good control over top speed. As well as players of a universal style and, of course, modern defenders, for whom both defensive properties and a good attack are equally important.
There is a lot about the surface of the lining, where they write that it is sticky, but in fact it is just very tenacious, if a hint of stickiness is not considered stickiness. And the overlay by nature is by no means Velcro. There is a certain kinship with the Chinese nature of the overlays, so it can be classified as a calm tensor or a moderately hard hybrid.
In terms of playing properties, it is similar to Butterfly Dignics 09C. Very well suited for a variety of topspins and in general for those tennis players who like to give a lot of spin.
