Sponge hardness : 45-47 degrees
Sponge color: Violet
The SpinLord Keiler combines the unchanged top-sheet of the Keiler with the new sponge of the Lion Vanquish.
Why all this?
The SpinLord Keiler was used very successfully at international level in the women’s sector, but the sponge was a little too soft and a little too slow for use in the men’s professional sector.
This is where we come in with the Keiler II, which now uses a fairly hard (hardness approx. 45-47 degrees) and also very fast sponge. Nevertheless, the ball impact is only medium hard overall and definitely softer than with the Waran II. This is of course due to the slightly longer and softer pimples of the Keiler II.
The Keiler II is also more elastic and more dangerous overall than the Keiler (both are even more so in comparison to the rubbers from the Waran series).
The sponge of the Keiler II is currently one of the very best sponges produced in China. Most pimples from China and also many from European brands use simpler sponges, the best sponges are usually reserved for the pimple-in rubbers. You will immediately notice the difference between the Keiler II and such rubbers: The Keiler II simply has more penetrating power and disruptive effect, but thanks to its enormous variability it is still easy to control even with passive strokes.
Until now, it was almost always said that medium-length pimples were only for the lower divisions of the men’s game. With the Keiler II, we are now presenting the first medium-length pimple that is primarily intended for players in the upper leagues.
Of course, the Keiler II is nowhere near as fast as the Waran II and is less suitable for hard final strokes.
However, in addition to the disruptive effect, the rotation development is generally better. Very strong players can even play an effective undercut defence with the Keiler II, topspins with a shortened arm movement are also possible. However, its most important strength is its powerful counter-attacking and blocking game.
The Keiler II can be used as a forehand rubber as well as a backhand rubber.
Its weight is within an acceptable range, but the Keiler II is not as lightweight as the Keiler. The weight is on a par with the Gipfelsturm, but still below that of the Waran II.
The pimples are durable, as is the sponge.
Unfortunately, the higher price is unavoidable. The top rubber of the Keiler was already the most expensive of the pimple-out rubbers, and now the sponge is too. This is why the Keiler II is one of our most expensive “Made in China” rubbers – but also one of the best.

SpinLord Keiler II
I've been using spinlord keiler for a whole season and now using spinlord keiler 2 1.5mm.
Compared to spinlod keiler, keiler 2 has : A bit more speed (but linear, no catapult effet), more control (no catapult effect), significantly more deception, less spin sensitivity, less spin capability, better block against strong shot (no catapult, can absorb energy with right technique), more weight (keiler around 43g uncut, keiler 2 around 50g uncut).
I would say keiler 2 is better than keiler on all areas except weight, of course you should like medium hard sponge feeling.
I have tried DMS flashback as well to try even more deception but due to catapult effect, significant reversal , and soft sponge, block at the table on strong shots were extremely challenging for me. Keiler 2 is more versatile and allows a bunch of different techniques.
Backside like techniques works very well with keiler 2 (although it offers little deception) so that flick is a really efficient technique to use on short serve with this rubber.
Flat hits are deceptive, fast and easy to control. This is were this rubber shines (they are very difficult to return).
Hitting through long backspin is easy.
Chop away from the table is ok, don't expect strong reversal or deception but it is definitely something i use from time to time.
I would say it is a really well balanced medium-pips, you can play it in many different ways. I personally think it shines the best with a flat hit style basis and some variation.

This rubber is by far one of the best medium/short pips I have tried. It’s plays more like a modern short pips with a hard sponge which I absolutely love in my backhand. Excellent control if you master it’s speed. Cause this is one is fast, very fast. Tried it in 2.1 in my backhand but could not control that. The 1.8 was perfect for my allround offensive style of play. This rubber wants to be played active and active blocks give great deception with a ball hardly bouncing up. Passive blocks are also easy but more harmless so place them well else you will be a sitting duck. Short play is great and the rubber is hardly vulnerable for incoming spin. Opening up against backspin is best shot. Deceptive and hard to read for your opponent. It will either be a direct point or you get a big chance on the next ball. Creating own spin is doable but don’t expect massive like pips in rubbers but it gives more then the opponent expects it to be. Be careful with smashing since this rubber is very fast and reacts immediately. Start with 80% power before going all out. Weak point is heavy chopping away from the table. You can do one or two if you are cornered but you can’t rely on it. It’s better to loop/push it back with speed to fight your way back to the table. Absolutely not a beginners rubber cause you need some skill to control and master this one. If you are the offensive allround player who needs to defend ones in a while ready to take over when your opponent misses the chance then try this one.
