Thickness 1.5 mm at a special price. This thickness is NOT suitable for playing in a classic attacking style. But it is great for:

- defense with a single powerful attack from comfortable balls;

- staging the technique of all elements of the game with a smooth overlay, that is, for the game of beginner tennis players;

- games in a universal style, combining attacking and defensive actions.

The Dr Neubauer Domination Speed rubber is an updated, faster version of the popular Dr Neubauer Domination rubber.

The new version received both a new sponge with a built-in plywood effect and a new topsheet. Only the name and the universal concept remained old :)

And the rubber itself turned out to be innovative and very successful. The developers managed to increase the speed without losing control, and at the same time also increase the rotation. The Speed version also differs from the usual Domination in a softer and more elastic sponge and a slightly softer toshpit. While the regular Domination has a feeling of about medium hardness, the Speed is softer. Not extremely soft, but quite soft.

Thanks to the built-in plywood effect, attacking capabilities are improved, it is easier to make the beginning of an attack. A thick sponge is also easier to play countertopspin. And thanks to the soft and very tenacious topsheet, it is also easy to make a hanging topspin with very strong spin.

Flat play and short play on the table are very comfortable, as well as blocking, both passive and active. This was achieved due to the reduced reaction to the incoming rotation.

In terms of thickness selection, 1.5 is recommended for defenders who want better offensive options than a pure defensive rubber of the same thickness. The accuracy of the game in defense compared to protective overlays will hardly suffer, but it is much easier to attack. At the same time, the cutting power both on the table and away from the table along the tops is very high. The lining really cuts, very strongly.

Also, the 1.5 thickness will suit players of an all-round defensive style who play a lot of undercutting and prefer thin lips.

Thickness 1.8 - universal players or more aggressive defenders. Increasing the thickness of the sponge will give a boost in speed, which increases the attack and slightly reduces the accuracy of cutting in the far zone. However, with a higher level of play, accuracy will not decrease.

Thickness 2.1 - suitable for all-round attacking players who play with an emphasis on accuracy and rotation. At the same time, it is quite possible to play a power game on comfortable balls. Also, this thickness is for versatile players who prefer soft rubbers on a thick sponge. And for "modern defense" style players. With good undercutting technique, even a thickness of 2.1 will provide high precision in this element. And at the same time there will be very good attacking and counterattacking opportunities.

It is also necessary to note the very low weight of this rubber, even in a thickness of 2.1 mm.
