About Grass D.TecS
Grass D.TecS (Combined speed 50, spin 78, control 86) builds tension into the pips. OX is a separate no-sponge SKU. Ultra is a milder Grass. Hardness is often unlisted on long pips — a missing factory fact, not a zero-feel sheet.
It is more disruptive on this index than Feint Long III, a little faster, a little less control. Spare-sheet story is Tibhar, next to Evolution on the same wall.
Long pips on the backhand are a combination-racket choice. If you wanted a safer inverted backhand, look at FX / Vega Europe instead of Grass.

Factory thicknesses
Factory options: OX, 0.5, 0.9, 1.2. OX means no sponge. Combined figures describe this SKU; an OX sibling with its own product page is a different sheet.
- OX
- 0.5
- 0.9
- 1.2
- OX
- No sponge. On long pips this usually means more reversal and a deader return; on antispin it is a very dead ball. It is a different SKU from the sponged sheet when the shop lists both.
- 0.5
- A very thin sponge under pips or anti. Slightly more speed than OX, still disruption-first.
- 0.9
- Thin pips sponge. More controllable than OX, less float. A common chopping thickness.
- 1.2
- Mid pips sponge. Faster chops and blocks than OX; less reversal.
Factory sponge hardness is unlisted on this sheet. That is a missing catalogue fact, not a zero-feel rubber.
