EXPLOSION PRO is a new version of our classic short pimple rubber EXPLOSION.
This new development still offers a very good compromise between control, attacking possibilities and disruptive effect.


EXPLOSION PRO comes with both more speed and more disruptive effect. All in all the rubber enables an even more dynamic game since the ball can be accelerated decisively through aggressive counter-attacking and straight hitting, creating a low bounce that will provoke direct mistakes by your opponent.


Finally EXPLOSION PRO also offers very good control, making it easy to produce all classic short pimple techniques.


The best compromise between control and disruptive effect is achieved with thin sponge (1.2 and 1.5mm), while the thicker versions will make the rubber faster, but less disruptive.


The rubber comes with a layer of glue. Please put an additional thin layer of water based table tennis glue onto the sponge and a normal layer of water based glue on the blade. Let it dry for 10-15 minutes.

Finally simply roll the rubber carefully onto the blade and cut around it.

I have tried this rubber for a good month to see if I would get more deception then Spinfire. I can truly say that this rubber offers a great deal of deception. The balls have a great sinking effect when blocked/played actively. The deception is even more then most medium rubbers yet you can play agressively with it. It plays like a classic short pips rubber. If you are looking for a modern short pips like Spinfire/Victas 102 or something like that, stay away from this rubber. It requires an experient short pip player to control this rubber. I could not block consistently due to my experience and skill. After the first/second block the ball was uncontroable and you need to position perfectly all the time. Like i said the rubber has great deception which really makes opponents fear it. However it has a downside. Since it has such great sinking effect the ball is very very flat and if you dont adjust your blades angle all the time the ball will drop dead in the net. You will need a lot of practice with this rubber to control and master it. This rubber has potential in the hands of an experienced short pip player.
