Dr. Neubauer Special Defence

Soon to be paired with my Darker Hinoki DF blade on the BH. Will update review later in the month. UPDATE Still need more time with it, but I am very pleased so far. Haven't been able to generate the top-spin on the backhand I was expecting but that will come with time. Shots still a few inches off the end of the table, but with better form that will reduce given how much closer it is than a pre-made bat+rubber combo. This rubber played a big role in me stealing a few victories at the club due to the varied amount of side spin I was able to play with - which turned a counter stroke into something very perplexing to my opponent. Will update again as I become more comfortable with it and can see what happens with more speed.

Grippy rubber, great for a defensive game close to the table: good for blocking and short spinny pushes/chops. Its defensive capabilities gives it a slightly low throw angle so its not very good for offensive strokes like looping.Can be used as a backhand ubber for close to the table plays or a forhand rubber for classical defence or pure chopping play.
