antitop

This anti-topspin disruptive rubber impresses with its insensitivity to rotation and the pronounced braking effect, which results in unsurpassable ball control. ELLEN DEF is the ideal rubber for classic defenders, as the soft sponge also gives players who are sensitive to topspin optimal control. ELLEN OFF, on the other hand, is suitable with the 10° harder sponge, ideal for varied active material play at the table.

Unmatched control is what you’ll experience with this slow, lightly grippy anti-topspin rubber. Rotation is neutralized, and passive balls can be returned with extreme safety. Attack shots are also easy to play. Tip: Even if you haven’t played with an anti-topspin rubber before, it’s worth checking out the Sauer & Tröger Super Stop. For example, if you don’t feel confident enough with your pimpled or smooth anti-topspin game and tend to make easy mistakes.

This anti-spin rubber allows you to block spin-heavy topspin balls dangerously. A disruptive effect is produced, as the ball either dips "dangerously" just behind the net or on the baseline, depending on the block. The version with the 1.8mm sponge is significantly slower and offers much better control than the versions with 0.6, 1.0, and 1.3mm sponges. GORILLA 1.8mm produces good spin reversal when blocking spin-heavy topspin balls. Additionally, aggressive pressure pushes and lifting can be used to attack.

This innovation in the Anti-Spin category is a very effective all-round weapon. With GRIZZLY, the ball can be blocked very securely at the table, generating a dangerous disruptive effect. Especially in defense, the rubber offers an excellent combination of control and spin possibilities, as rotation-heavy topspin balls can be returned very flat and with maximum underspin. GRIZZLY also stands out in serve receive with excellent ball feel and good placement options. However, GRIZZLY is not only an excellent alternative to long pips in passive play, but also offers surprising offensive options at the table: underspin balls can be aggressively returned with press shots and lifting to put your opponent under significant pressure. Passive balls can be countered, pressed, and depending on the speed, even attacked. In every case, the initiative for the next attack can be seized. The best compromise between control, offensive options, and disruptive effect is achieved with a 1.0mm sponge.

High control and versatility for modern play with smooth anti-spin This is the third rubber project developed together with SpinAssociated from Italy. The result is a slightly more versatile version of our proven and globally appreciated A-B-S 3 smooth anti-spin. A-B-S 3 PRO falls in speed between A-B-S 2 PRO and A-B-S 3, depending on the thickness of the red damping sponge. With 1.7 mm, even on a fast blade, passive blocks can be returned short just behind the net. The spin reversal achieved is similarly high. The innovative red sponge with a hardness of 38° allows, especially in the 1.3 mm version, for more dynamic acceleration of the ball during push shots, adding variety to the game and keeping the opponent more “busy.” The block can be placed short behind the net or actively pushed forward to create a change of rhythm. Control is very good, with minimal susceptibility to angle errors.

Less speed, more control! GORILLA is now available in a slower version with much better control. The rubber also impresses with excellent spin reversal on heavily spun topspin balls. The 1.8 mm version is the slowest and therefore the most effective for short blocking at the table. The 1.2 and 1.5 mm versions also allow very good blocking, but the ball can be accelerated more easily during push or lift shots.

Control and disruptive effect for progressive smooth anti-spin play This new version was developed together with SpinAssociated from Italy and is slightly more versatile than our proven smooth anti-spin rubber A-B-S 2 EVO. While A-B-S 2 EVO is characterized by a fairly hard feel and maximum spin reversal, the slightly softer and not quite as slow sponge (thickness: 2.0 mm) of the new A-B-S 2 PRO offers high control and overall more variable playing options. A-B-S 2 PRO still allows the ball to be returned on passive blocks against heavily spun topspin shots with excellent spin reversal. Unlike most other slow smooth anti-spin rubbers on the market, A-B-S 2 PRO also enables an active block by slightly “pushing back” at the moment of contact. The ball produced in this way still has good spin reversal but gives the opponent slightly less time to react. This allows alternating short, slow block shots with faster, pushed returns to confuse the opponent. Control remains high in all areas thanks to the slightly more responsive sponge. All classic smooth anti-spin offensive techniques, such as push attacks and lifts, can be executed noticeably more easily than with most other smooth anti-spin rubbers on the market. A-B-S 2 PRO thus allows not only disruptive play but also the opportunity to take the initiative. Available with an innovative damping sponge in a single thickness of 2.0 mm.

Maximum Control and Brake Effect for Block Play with Smooth Anti This is the second rubber developed in collaboration with SpinAssociated from Italy. The result is the slowest and most controlled version of the proven and globally recognized A-B-S smooth anti-rubber series. A-B-S 3 allows you to return the ball very short behind the net during passive blocking, even on very fast topspin balls with little spin. The proven high level of spin reversal has been maintained. The key element of this new development is the blue sponge: it provides an unprecedented braking effect, enabling even less technically skilled players to "tame" fast topspins safely and effectively. Experienced players will appreciate the ability to either place the block very short behind the net or to "press" the ball uncomfortably for the opponent, adding more variability to the game. Control is excellent in all areas thanks to the innovative blue sponge, leaving almost no angle vulnerability. Sponge hardness: 42°

Maximum Danger with Smooth Anti This new version is slightly harder than the proven smooth anti rubber A-B-S 2 from Dr. Neubauer. Thanks to a slightly shorter contact time and a revised rubber mixture, the A-B-S 2 EVO produces even more spin reversal. Additionally, the ball noticeably "pulls" more downward when blocking, even on fast, spinless topspin shots with ABS balls. This significantly disrupts the opponent's next attacking ball. When blocking fast topspin balls, A-B-S 2 EVO also offers the possibility to slightly "press back" in addition to the passive block, causing the ball to land faster with underspin on the opponent's side. This creates confusion and adds more variety to smooth anti play. With A-B-S 2 EVO, all classic smooth anti offensive techniques such as pressure pushes and lifting can still be performed, making for a dangerous and versatile disruptive game. The active techniques, including "pressing back" against topspins, work best with the thinner sponge thicknesses of 1.8mm and 2.1mm. The thicker sponges (2.3mm and 2.5mm) provide even more damping and control for passive blocking. Available with a damping sponge in thicknesses 1.8mm, 2.1mm, 2.3mm, and 2.5mm: 1.8mm (best spin reversal, very slow, excellent control) 2.1mm (best spin reversal, very slow, excellent control) 2.3mm (very good spin reversal, even slower, excellent control) 2.5mm (still very good spin reversal, slowest, best control) A glue sheet is already pre-mounted.

The Softer Version of the Anti-Spin Classic Our A-B-S 2 anti-spin rubber has quickly become a benchmark for block play at the table with smooth anti-rubbers, especially when combined with ABS balls. This new version, A-B-S 2 SOFT, is glued with the same pink damping sponge but features a revised, slightly softer rubber compound. This results in improved control and further reduced angle sensitivity when blocking, especially against hard drive spins with little rotation. Overall, A-B-S 2 SOFT provides even better ball feedback for use with ABS balls. The spin reversal achieved remains unchanged. However, it has even become possible to improve the attacking options. It is now possible to shoot against spin balls with the wrist and counter balls are easier to play. For the first time in the smooth anti category, A-B-S 2 SOFT allows, in addition to the passive block against topspin balls, a soft forward block motion that produces a “dipping” effect on the ball and even spin reversal. This means it's no longer necessary to always play a short block. As with the slightly harder A-B-S 2 version, this new, somewhat softer variant can unleash its disruptive power even on fast offensive blades thanks to its excellent control values. Available with a damping sponge in thicknesses 2.1, 2.3, and 2.5mm: 2.1mm (best spin reversal, very slow, excellent control) 2.3mm (very good spin reversal, even slower, excellent control) 2.5mm (still very good spin reversal, slowest, best control) A glue film is pre-mounted.

Dr. Neubauer A-B-S has set new standards for blocking at the table with smooth anti-spin rubbers. This new version, A-B-S 2, has been specifically optimized for use with plastic and ABS balls to maximize effectiveness. Unlike most other smooth anti-spins on the market, A-B-S 2 can also be effectively used with ABS balls, as the ball does not rise when blocking but can instead be returned surprisingly short and flat. When blocking against spin-heavy topspin balls, a noticeable spin reversal is generated. Against fast, mostly spinless topspin shots, a short block shot can be produced by simply holding the racket, with the ball dropping slightly despite the absence of spin. This is especially evident in its very low angle sensitivity, as even your opponent's hard spin shots can be handled with ease. Despite the very slow speed, A-B-S 2 is not "dead" when playing forward, as it allows for a change of rhythm by using pressure pushes, thereby confusing your opponent. Thanks to its excellent control values, A-B-S 2 can also demonstrate its effectiveness with fast offensive blades. Available with a damping sponge in the following thicknesses: 2.1mm (Best spin reversal, very slow, excellent control) 2.3mm (Very good spin reversal, slower, excellent control) 2.5mm (Still very good spin reversal, slowest, best control) A glue sheet is already pre-mounted.

The new version of the proven anti-spin rubber for table blocking with plastic balls! Our BUFFALO anti-spin rubber quickly made a name for itself for blocking at the table with excellent spin reversal. In this new version, we’ve managed to further improve the spin reversal. With BUFFALO+, even very fast topspin balls can be returned surprisingly short and flat, with the ball exhibiting a noticeable "dipping" effect. In the offensive game, it is still possible to act quite aggressively, using pressure pushes to put the opponent in trouble. Additionally, control has been slightly improved.

The next development in the “smooth anti” category for the plastic ball! Just like BUFFALO+, the new smooth anti rubber BISON+ is an evolution of the successful BISON rubber. BISON+ still offers a slightly softer touch, providing a bit more control. Even on hard, fast blades, the proven damping sponge ensures short, controlled block balls with a dipping trajectory. BISON+ also offers more offensive possibilities with pressure pushes (especially on push balls) and light counter-hitting. In addition to the proven use with both celluloid and plastic balls, our rubbers BUFFALO+, BISON+, and RHINO+ – probably the only smooth antis on the market currently – also generate significant spin reversal and a flat ball trajectory when used with the new ABS balls.

Unmatched control is what you’ll experience with this slow, lightly grippy anti-topspin rubber. Rotation is neutralized, and passive balls can be returned with extreme safety. Attack shots are also easy to play. Tip: Even if you haven’t played with an anti-topspin rubber before, it’s worth checking out the Sauer & Tröger Super Stop. For example, if you don’t feel confident enough with your pimpled or smooth anti-topspin game and tend to make easy mistakes.

The new benchmark in the "Glatt-Anti" category The effectiveness of anti-spin rubbers when blocking at the table with plastic balls has been further improved. The new plastic ball, and especially the so-called ABS ball, generates significantly less spin, which naturally reduces the spin reversal. Our new anti-spin rubber TARANTULA produces the best possible spin reversal with these new balls. More importantly, unlike most other "Glantis" on the market, TARANTULA produces a short and flat blocking game with a noticeable sinking of the ball. This makes it harder for the opponent to execute their next attacking shot. Even fast "hit-spins" can be returned quite safely with a dipping flight curve. TARANTULA can be used both on classic material blades and on fast, hard offensive models, as the damping sponge effectively "absorbs" the impact of the incoming ball. A pre-applied adhesive film is included. The 1.8mm version is the slowest, while the 1.2mm version offers the best spin reversal. The 1.5mm version is a very good compromise.

With our latest development, Dr. Neubauer RHINO+, an excellent spin reversal can be achieved, especially against rotation-heavy topspin balls. The possibility still exists to return the ball very short behind the net, even against hard-hit topspin balls, using a fast, hard blade. RHINO+ now features reduced angle sensitivity and higher control. This is noticeable in both passive (serve return, block) and active shots (pressure push, light counter). Additionally, it allows for even more pressure through aggressive pushes and light counter-hitting. In addition to its proven use with celluloid and plastic balls, our rubbers BUFFALO+, BISON+, and RHINO+—probably the only anti-spin rubbers on the market—also produce significant spin reversal and a flat ball trajectory with the new ABS balls.

Unlike the other anti-spin rubbers in our range, the new DJANGO is not a completely smooth anti (so-called "glatt-anti"), but rather a classic anti-spin rubber with residual grip. DJANGO does not produce spin reversal, but it allows for highly controlled and especially very variable disruptive play. With passive blocking, the speed of the ball can be reduced, and the ball can be pressed downward, causing it to bounce dangerously flat. Even during counter-hitting and direct shots, the rubber produces an unpleasant ball that provokes direct errors from the opponent. DJANGO is also an interesting weapon for return of serve, as the opponent's rotation is largely neutralized.

New anti-spin rubber for blocking/disruptive play at the table. RHINO is similar to BISON, with very good spin reversal and improved control.

Our two new anti-spin rubbers, A-B-S and ANTI SPECIAL, are significantly slower than our anti-spin models GORILLA and GRIZZLY. Both new rubbers offer much better control and produce good spin reversal. At the same time, they can surprisingly be used to attack effectively through pressure pushes and lifting, especially against underspin. Both A-B-S and ANTI SPECIAL feature a new rubber compound for the topsheet and a novel sponge. These rubbers are very similar to our old smooth long pimple rubbers. The 1.2mm version is the slowest and is therefore best suited for short blocking play at the table. The 1.5mm version is slightly faster and offers a bit more versatility in terms of attacking options. With the 1.8mm sponge, both effective blocking and good attacking are possible.

With BISON, we have succeeded in further improving the effectiveness of passive blocking. The rubber is on par with the old smooth long pimples, as it achieves excellent spin reversal, especially on spin-heavy topspin balls. The speed also brings back memories of the old days: The ability to drop the ball very short over the net sets new standards in the area of smooth anti-spin rubbers (“Glantis”). BISON is suitable for use with both classic material woods and fast, hard offensive models, as the proven damping sponge, combined with the new top rubber, "absorbs" the energy of the incoming ball. Even so-called "hit-spins" can be controlled when blocking. Overall, BISON offers very good control thanks to its low sensitivity to angles, maximum braking effect even on fast woods, and excellent spin reversal.

Highly elastic anti-spin top rubber combined with a soft sponge. The all-rounder among anti-spin rubbers! Relatively flexible in defense, good disruptive capabilities through uncomfortable blocking.

With POWER ATTACK, a smooth anti-spin rubber is now available that not only offers the effectiveness of a smooth surface but also highly interesting offensive possibilities. In the passive game, POWER ATTACK produces good spin reversal when blocking, although it doesn’t quite match the disruptive potential of BUFFALO or BISON. Additionally, the smooth surface of POWER ATTACK is a great help when returning serves. Unlike all other "Glantis," this rubber also allows you to put your opponent under significant pressure through active counter-hitting. It is thus possible to create an effective disruptive game while also taking control of the match through countering and light shooting. Dr. Neubauer POWER ATTACK: The powerful Glanti weapon!

BUFFALO introduces highly interesting playing characteristics with its completely new rubber compound. After extensive development, we were finally able to combine the individual advantages of our various anti-spin rubbers into this controlled yet dangerous rubber. Thanks to its completely smooth surface, BUFFALO generates excellent spin reversal when blocking spin-heavy topspin balls. Additionally, the sensitivity to angles has been significantly reduced, allowing for both effective and controlled blocking play at the table. In this respect, the rubber comes very close to our old smooth long pimples, especially in terms of spin reversal. Furthermore, BUFFALO allows you to play aggressively in the offensive game and put pressure on your opponent. The pressure push on underspin balls is particularly effective. However, even empty balls can be countered with highly unpleasant attacks. Overall, BUFFALO is a decisive enhancement for blocking play at the table – give it a try!

Der Allround-Anti schlechthin. Schon seit vielen Jahren ein Bestseller! Durch das glatte Obergummi sind Sie völlig unempfindlich auf den gegnerischen Drall; egal ob Sie weit hinter dem Tisch abwehren oder ganz nahe am Tisch blocken. Der superelastische Medium-Schwamm ermöglicht eigene - für den Gegner unangenehme - Konterattacken.

ANTI SPECIAL is significantly slower than our current anti-spin models "Gorilla" and "Grizzly" and offers much better control. Additionally, the rubber produces very good spin reversal, making it highly effective for blocking play at the table. At the same time, ANTI SPECIAL can also be used to attack surprisingly well through pressure pushes and lifting, especially against underspin. ANTI SPECIAL features a new rubber compound for the topsheet and a novel sponge.

GRIZZLY is now also available with the damping sponge of the A-B-S rubber. This combination offers remarkable playing characteristics: The well-known GRIZZLY topsheet produces excellent spin reversal against heavy topspin strokes. In addition, the ball stays low and fast after bouncing on the opponent’s side. The proven A-B-S sponge gives the rubber significantly lower speed and, above all, impressive control. With this new version of the GRIZZLY rubber, it is still possible to attack effectively through aggressive pushes and lifting.

The Disruptor With the ALLIGATOR ANTI, DONIC continues its long-standing success with disruptive rubbers like the PIRANJA and the ALLIGATOR. The firm antispin surface and hard sponge provide a direct ball rebound and exceptionally short ball contact time. This allows you to put your opponent under pressure, execute highly effective disruptive maneuvers, and drop the ball short and with great touch. Opponents’ shots can be returned with this weapon both precisely short and long. Counterattacks and offensive strikes are also easily possible with the new, aggressively designed DONIC ALLIGATOR ANTI.
