The Gepard is a fast and easy to control pimple-out rubber with high deception but low spin values. It has been invented for deadly counter-attacks, active and passive block balls, and powerful shots. Regarding the length of the (wide) pimples, the Gepard is a semi-long pimple out rubber, but the pimples are so inelastic that the Gepard plays totally like a short pimple out rubber. The pimple tops of the Gepard have very high friction, but the rubber compound includes polymers that generally are used for Anti rubbers. So the deception does not come from the wobbling effect of the pimples like usual. They will not wobble at all, even if you hit the ball hard. The deception is created because you can play the balls with or without spin, sometimes even with a little backspin, which makes it very difficult for the enemy to estimate the (always very flat) ball trajectory. The pimples of the Gepard are very durable, and the weight of this rubber is far below average. The Gepard is also our first rubber, which is available in red and black and in blue color.

Coming from Neo classic inverted rubbers on my Backhand (the last ones where Spinlord Tiger and Marder 2, 1.8mm both) I recently switched to Gepard 1.8mm. My main strokes in backhand are blocks, drives and pushes, always with the aim to get the ball to my forehand and start attacking. The switch to Gepard was very easy for me, since I am not using Topspins on BH anyways. Surprisingly many of my strokes worked quite well such as (passive) Blocks, pushes and drives. Sometimes I am still sometimes doing horribly stupid mistakes due to the low throw angle or the low spin level in comparision to my inverted rubbers but this is already almost equalized by my opponent's mistakes due to the deception of the gepard. The deception seems to come mainly from the low spin level of the rubber which often makes the opponent over estimate the spin in the ball. In Conclusion this is a very nice rubber to get started with short pips. Anyways it might not be the best choice for people who want to use more tangential shots like topspin or chopping.
