The Even More Aggressive Disruptive Weapon with Half-Long Pimples This new version features the same pimple geometry with relatively long, but wide pimples. AGGRESSOR PRO still produces a good disruptive effect, especially during active play, particularly when countering, shooting, or performing aggressive block shots. Additionally, the new version is slightly faster, allowing even more pressure to be applied in attacking play. The flip over the table also becomes easier. This new rubber is, therefore, an excellent alternative for players who are satisfied with AGGRESSOR but need more speed. AGGRESSOR PRO: The faster alternative for aggressive disruptive play with half-long pimples.

After the “Hellfire” became one of the world’s leading long pimple rubbers, the Hellfire X now marks the entry into a new, expansive dimension. The testing phase, lasting over 3 years, has been incredibly long and intense. However, from the very beginning, we had one clear goal: to create the best long pimple rubber for the near future. The Hellfire X was developed in collaboration with highly skilled long pimple players under the leadership of Sebastian Sauer. This partnership made it possible to create a long pimple rubber of the highest quality, specifically tailored to the needs and desires of the players. The Hellfire X offers a unique playing experience that is precisely tuned to the plastic ball. The perfect balance of speed, control, disruptive effect, and spin development lies at the heart of this long pimple rubber. The ideal combination of these playing characteristics allows you to play table tennis at a whole new level. Discover the supernatural powers of the Hellfire X now.

TROUBLE MAKER RELOADED is the new weapon for modern disruptive play at the table. Its outstanding feature remains the sharp chopping against topspin shots. Whether in passive or active blocking, the ball bounces low and flutters. In addition, TROUBLE MAKER RELOADED offers highly interesting offensive possibilities with long pips, whether through push attacks, lifting, or even light counter-hits. The rubber can also be used effectively in long-distance defense, producing significant backspin and sharply diving balls. Control remains high in all game situations, allowing for a dangerous, reliable, and versatile style of play with long pips. With a sponge thickness of 0.5 mm, it is a damping sponge. Sponge hardness: 34 degrees

The allround rubber with disruptive effect Dr. Neubauer DIAMANT is an innovative rubber with medium-long pimples. Thanks to its soft pimples, DIAMANT offers excellent control for serve reception, blocking, attacking, and defensive play. It comes with a sponge that has been specially developed for this medium-long pimple rubber. DIAMANT produces a particularly unpleasant disruptive effect when blocking against topspin and when hitting flat shots, as the ball trajectory stays very low and is pressed downward. At the same time, with sponge thicknesses of 1.5, 1.8, or 2.1 mm, DIAMANT enables powerful attacking play through counter-hits, lifting, and smashes to put the opponent under pressure. DIAMANT is especially effective against defensive players: Any backspin ball can be lifted with ease and finished off with a decisive hit. With a thinner sponge (1.2 mm), even greater ball feeling and disruptive effect can be achieved for close-to-the-table play.

This development in half-long pimples achieves an unprecedented level of disruptive effect: The ball drops sharply during blocking, countering, and shooting, causing direct mistakes from the opponent. 'K.O. Extreme' requires some training and is particularly suitable for experienced material players.

The All-Rounder The DONIC PIRANJA CD (Classic Defence) is a classic long-pips rubber and an ideal complement to the DONIC SLICE 40 CS. With excellent spin reversal and outstanding control, the PIRANJA CD excels in the two most important aspects for players using long pips. It also offers great versatility in spin variation during chops, blocks, and counter-attacks—providing everything needed for modern defensive play. Its combination of versatility and exceptional control in all strokes makes the PIRANJA CD a highly effective weapon. Technology: Classic long-pips rubber, soft sponge, ribbed pimple structure Character: Excellent spin reversal, tremendous control in blocks and counter-attacks Recommendation: For defensive players who operate both close to the table and from a distance

Goal: Crazy, Crazier, Monkey. A true (jungle) force! With the Monkey, a next-generation long pimple rubber appears. Playful ease, impressive dominance, and a touch of fun meet iconic design. General Information: The monkeys are racing through the forest, and the whole monkey gang is screaming… …who stole the (coconut) points? This could be the first lines of the Monkey song. But let’s start from the beginning: Be the coolest guy in the hall and teach your opponents to fear the nearly forbidden dangerous long pimple rubber “Monkey”! The Monkey (also known by many as the “Ape”) manages to go to the table, completely bored and effortlessly, to win its games. It doesn’t even bend its knees and lets its opponents run, make easy mistakes, and despair. Pretty relaxed and effortlessly, with the Monkey, you’ll achieve your athletic goals. As for the looks: The stylish heart-shaped glasses represent the Monkey’s love for the plastic ball. The cool retro design definitely takes you back to the good old times… Characteristics: Pimple Structure: The pimples of the long pimple rubber Monkey have a high aspect ratio and are spaced quite far apart. This guarantees maximum space for the pimple heads to bend. The pimple stems are relatively smooth, and the heads are slightly roughened. Pimple Width: The pimple heads are quite wide. Combined with the roughened pimple heads, they generate significant spin. If you strike the ball well, your opponent will face major problems. Pimple Hardness: With light pressure, the pimple heads seem medium-hard. However, under higher pressure, they give way and create a soft and gentle playing sensation. This allows for controlled play with the pimple, while still making it difficult for the opponent to predict the ball’s trajectory during offensive strokes. Sponge: The sponge version features a novel, dampening sponge that doesn’t feel too “dead.” Definitely worth trying. Sebastian’s Tip: The sponge version with its damping sponge is also a real alternative for players who have been playing OX so far. Even if you haven’t tried it yet, be brave and go for the ball early and confidently with the “Monkey.” You’ll see the results and achieve things that may not have been possible before. Conclusion: Anyone who looks into the background of the “Monkey” will realize: Definitely the coolest among all table tennis rubbers. Combined with outstanding playing characteristics, it’s a popular weapon at the table.

DESPERADO RELOADED raises the bar for long pimples even further. This special version with a 0.5mm blue damping sponge noticeably reduces the speed and increases control. The blue sponge allows for very short returns of block balls, even when paired with fast blades. Chopping at the table produces a flat, sinking ball that makes it difficult for the opponent to follow and can even provoke direct mistakes. An active game is also possible, but naturally, it will be slower than with a normal sponge or no sponge (OX). DESPERADO RELOADED has been perfectly tuned for the new plastic balls and impresses with excellent control in all areas. Sponge hardness: 40°

DESPERADO RELOADED raises the bar for long pimples even further. The rubber achieves an unprecedented level of versatility and effectiveness: In the passive game, a very flat and strongly sinking ball can be produced with simple blocking and especially with chopping at the table. This makes it difficult for the opponent to follow and can even provoke direct mistakes. At the same time, DESPERADO RELOADED excels in the active game, as not only the classic long pimple techniques such as pressure push and lift can be played effortlessly, but it can also counter and shoot with ease. Even from long-distance defense, a significant underspin and a flat trajectory are generated, with a ball that visibly pulls downwards. This highly variable, balanced, and perfectly tuned long pimple rubber for the new plastic balls is rounded off by excellent control, both in passive and active play. Sponge hardness: 36°

The All-Purpose Weapon with Long Pimples PUNCH sets new standards for active and demanding play with long pimples. It’s a true evolution, as the rubber can be used both in a highly versatile and extremely effective manner. When blocking, and especially when chopping at the table with a short, dry movement, the opponent is put under pressure. However, PUNCH truly unleashes its full potential in the active game: Especially against underspin, the ball can be accelerated effortlessly forward with a relaxed wrist movement. Even the flip over the table, such as on short pushes or during serve receive, is surprisingly easy to execute. With some training, even empty balls can be countered effectively. This makes PUNCH an ideal weapon for blocking or chopping topspins and immediately putting the opponent under pressure. Sponge hardness: 40°

The pimple structure of the CURL P5V is comparable to that of the very popular CURL P1V. The pimples, which are very hard compared to other long pimple rubbers, enable you to play balls with a lot of pressure. The ball bounce remains very flat during blocking, making it difficult for the opponent to return the ball. The CURL P5V is also easy to play from a defensive position away from the table, and balls can be placed precisely.

The CURL P4V combines a similar pimple structure to the legendary CURL P1V with an extremely soft sponge base. This combination allows modern defensive players to play all the shots they need for their game with particular effectiveness. This top sheet was developed and perfected by Koji Matsushita, one of the best defensive players of all time.

The CURL P3V is a long pimple rubber with slightly shorter and wider pimples. This pimple structure gives the CURL P3V excellent stability and control. The CURL P3V is ideal for players who are playing with a long pimple rubber for the first time and occasionally want to attack.

The CURL P1V is the absolute top seller in the long pimple range, trusted by many world-class defenders. The soft rubber compound of the long and thin pimples and the ribbed pimple surface of the legendary CURL P1V enhance dangerous undercut variations. Almost all top players prefer this option to use their own spin variations. Maximum spin reversal is another unique feature of the CURL P1V.

ven More Aggressive, Even More Disruptive Effect This evolution of the Dr. Neubauer AGGRESSOR series enables an even more aggressive and dangerous game with half-long pimples. AGGRESSOR EVO has a slightly harder feel and allows for even more ball acceleration, especially during shots. Most notably, this new half-long pimple rubber produces even more disruptive effect, as the ball bounces very flat and "pulls" sharply downward. This disruptive effect is noticeable not only when countering and shooting, but also when lightly pressing against topspin balls. The ball follows an uncomfortable flight path, which will provoke mistakes from the opponent. The best compromise between control and disruptive effect is achieved with thinner sponge thicknesses (1.3mm and 1.5mm). With a thicker sponge, the rubber becomes faster but produces slightly less disruptive effect.

After the "Hellfire" became one of the world’s leading long pimple rubbers, the Hellfire X now marks the entry into a new, expansive dimension. The testing phase, lasting over 3 years, has been incredibly long and intensive. However, from the very beginning, we had one clear goal: to create the best long pimple rubber for the near future. The Hellfire X was developed in collaboration with highly skilled long pimple players under the guidance of Sebastian Sauer. This partnership made it possible to create a long pimple rubber of the highest quality, specifically tailored to the needs and preferences of the players. The Hellfire X offers a unique playing experience that is precisely tuned to the plastic ball. The perfect balance of speed, control, disruptive effect, and spin development lies at the heart of this long pimple rubber. The ideal combination of these playing characteristics allows you to play table tennis at a whole new level. Discover the supernatural powers of the Hellfire X now.

AGGRESSOR is a completely new type of long pimple rubber. Its outstanding properties are based mainly on two factors: First, AGGRESSOR features a completely new pimple geometry. The pimples have the same length as a long pimple rubber, which generates a significant disruptive effect when blocking, countering, and shooting, while also producing a noticeable "braking effect" on passive shots. This is noticeable when blocking, as well as during return of serve. The second special feature of the rubber is the rubber compound. It is similar to our short pimple rubbers KILLER and KILLER PRO, but it has been specially adjusted for the longer pimples. The result is a rubber that is easy to control, produces a significant disruptive effect on almost all strokes, and can be used very variably in attack with counter-hitting, lifting, and direct shots. AGGRESSOR: The new alternative for active disruptive play with long pimples. The rubber is classified as a semi-long pimple!

This new version has also been specially developed for active and demanding play with long pips. With ALLROUND PREMIUM 2, a true advancement has been achieved, as the rubber has been perfectly tuned for plastic balls while still enabling a highly versatile game. When blocking and especially when chopping at the table with a short, dry motion, the opponent can be kept under control. However, ALLROUND PREMIUM 2 truly shows its potential in active play: Particularly against underspin, the ball can be effortlessly accelerated forward with a relaxed wrist motion. Even the flip over the table, such as against short pushes or during serve receive, is surprisingly easy. With some training, even "empty" balls can be countered effectively. As with the first version, it’s also possible to produce a "pseudo-topspin" over the ball with minimal effort. Overall, ALLROUND PREMIUM 2 is an ideal weapon for blocking or chopping top spins and immediately putting the opponent under pressure.

The plastic ball has significantly raised the requirements for long pips. However, with TROUBLE MAKER, a dangerous game at the table can still be played, even against attack balls with less spin: The standout feature of the rubber is the ability to chop at the table against topspin balls. A second attack ball is difficult for the opponent to execute. Both passive and active block shots can be kept flat, with the ball even fluttering and dipping downward. In active play, TROUBLE MAKER holds its own as well, as the pressure push—especially against underspin—can be easily executed. Surprisingly, the rubber can even generate considerable underspin and a flat trajectory from long defense, with the ball diving downward. This well-balanced long pips rubber, perfectly tuned to the new plastic balls, is rounded off with good control, both in passive and active play.

The Horizontal 55 has a horizontally constructed pimple structure with a sponge hardness of 55 degrees, which allows the player to execute powerful defensive shots and adds more variability to their game. Designed for plastic balls.

The Horizontal 20 has a horizontal pimple structure with a sponge hardness of 20 degrees. The soft sponge gives the rubber high control and effective spin against strong topspin. Developed for plastic balls.

The new disruptive weapon with semi-long pimples In addition to our proven semi-long pimple rubber Dr. Neubauer K.O., we have now developed a faster version called K.O. PRO. K.O. PRO allows for even more pressure to be applied during counterattacks and shots. At the same time, this new version produces even more "dipping" of the ball compared to the original version. This is true for all active shots as well as for the passive block. K.O. PRO is therefore a great alternative for players who are satisfied with K.O. but need a bit more speed to put their opponent under pressure, without sacrificing the disruptive effect. K.O. PRO: The faster alternative for highly dangerous pimple-out play.

DESPERADO 2 is our latest development for disruptive play at the table with plastic balls. Due to the reduced spin of the new balls, it is necessary to produce a secure and as dangerous as possible block shot at the table, even against fast topspin balls with little spin. With DESPERADO 2, the ball can be kept fairly flat, and especially during the "chopping," a certain sinking of the ball is achieved. The plastic ball requires an active game with long pips, and DESPERADO 2 excels here: both the pressure push and a light counter-hit can be easily executed. Even above the table, for example when receiving short serves, the ball can be accelerated dangerously forward to immediately put the opponent under pressure. DESPERADO 2 is effective for table play and is fun to use—give it a try!

With GANGSTER, a new, very balanced long pimple rubber is available, which can score in various areas. GANGSTER was developed 100% for use with the plastic ball. The rubber allows for effective blocking play at the table, both in passive blocking and chopping. The usual offensive techniques come naturally, even for less experienced players. Above all, GANGSTER stands out for its excellent control in all situations: from return of serve to pushing and blocking fast topspin balls. GANGSTER: A highly interesting alternative for all close-to-the-table long pimple players!

The JOOLA CWX was developed together with defensive ace Chen Weixing and meets the requirements of modern defensive play in all facets. The 50° hard MOMENTUM sponge allows powerful play both at the front of the table and when playing defensively away from the table. The narrow pimple necks with a non-slip microstructure give the player the opportunity to generate enormous backspin in their defensive shots. The JOOLA CWX combines dynamism and control in a rubber that is perfect for the modern defensive game. With its ability to enable cutting defense and precise disruptive shots, it gives you the confidence and tools to perform at the highest level. Experience the versatility and precision of the JOOLA CWX – the long pimple rubber for the ultimate defensive game.

Disruptive Effect and Control with Semi-Long Pimples The new K.O. was developed as an addition to our AGGRESSOR, which was released in 2016. While AGGRESSOR unleashes its full potential primarily in active play (active block, counter-hit, and drive), K.O. also generates a noticeable disruptive effect with a flat ball trajectory during passive blocking. Additionally, K.O. provides a high level of safety, particularly noticeable in serve returns and pushing. Thus, with K.O., an equally effective and secure game with semi-long pimples can be played.

The S&T Hipster is fun! It combines the positive characteristics of both short and long pimple rubbers, making it an optimal all-rounder. Its soft, medium-length pimples allow you to counter, lift, or smash any incoming spin. In passive play, this modern rubber creates curved, non-linear ball trajectories and makes the ball bounce flat on the opponent's side. A great option for the versatile all-round player!

That hurts!!! Your opponent smashes his racket with a violent blow to his thigh. This comes after he has once again smashed one of your shots into the net with the S&T Schmerz. Well, you shouldn't be too happy about your opponent's anger and despair. However, you can certainly rejoice in your successful game. The S&T Schmerz provides maximum disruption combined with easy attacking options. Developed for both close-to-the-table and far-from-the-table play. Choose successful material play for yourself! Note: Try the version with the ultra-thin 0.5 mm sponge. The special sponge dampens hard attacking shots while still offering enough dynamics for disruptive attacking shots.

After the “Hellfire” became one of the world’s leading long pimple rubbers, the Hellfire X now marks the entry into a new, far-reaching dimension.

Many Paths Lead to Victory The ideal long pips rubber for defensive players and passive allrounders who want to actively control the game and win points through variation. With DONIC ALLIGATOR DEF, you get tremendous underspin in defense, spin changes during pushes, fluttering blocks, and attacking shots — all possible with this versatile rubber. Despite its surprising versatility, this new rubber from DONIC impresses with good control on all stroke techniques, making it relatively easy to play. Therefore, the ALLIGATOR DEF is an effective long pips alternative not only for technically skilled players. DONIC ALLIGATOR DEF: Success Through Variable Play

The new grippy long pimple rubber VIPER is an enhancement for all material players who primarily block at the table. Its completely new rubber compound guarantees a high level of control, allowing you to cope with fast topspin balls and so-called "hit-spins." The soft pimples slow the ball down slightly. However, the special feature of this rubber is the flat ball bounce, which is crucial for blocking at the table with long pimples. Both passive blocking and chopping produce an unpleasant ball that will cause problems for your opponent. In this regard, VIPER is a highly interesting development in the area of grippy long pimples. Modern long pimple play also requires a more active use of the material, and all usual attacking strokes can be executed. VIPER is the new weapon for blocking play at the table – give it a try!

When developing the Easy P, the focus was on creating a new “lightweight pimple” with maximum danger that can be played close to the table. Thanks to a special manufacturing process for the pimple heads, the Easy P has a very low speed. Topspins can be cut off early above the table and sometimes returned while the ball is still rising. Pure “holding back” is possible in a very controlled manner. This disrupts the opponent's flow of play with precise placement. Another special feature is the pressure push on empty balls and backspin. Thanks to the Easy P's maximum possible insensitivity to spin, this can be used very effectively and successfully. Try the Easy P and improve your long pimple game at the table!

Our VIPER has quickly established itself as an extremely versatile and rewarding choice in the area of long pimples. With VIPER SOFT, we now offer a version with even softer and more sensitive pimples. Both in the so-called "hold block" and when chopping, a disruptive ball can be produced that practically stays still or barely bounces. The new rubber compound also allows for generating even more spin from defense. Additionally, we have managed to maintain the outstanding offensive possibilities of the VIPER in this new version, so you can still create a highly varied long pimple game.

DESPERADO is a new development that naturally offers very little spin reversal. However, thanks to an entirely innovative rubber mixture, the rubber still produces a significant disruptive effect, altering the playing characteristics in a crucial way. Both without sponge (OX) and with sponge (0.6mm and 1.0mm), DESPERADO allows for topspin balls to be blocked near the table, or played passively or aggressively with a closed racket angle, driving the ball downwards. On service returns, you can lay the ball short, even against fast, "empty" serves. The ball remains very flat and can even move back towards the net. In the sponge versions, especially the 0.6mm variant, the speed factor also causes unpleasant returns. On heavy-spin serves, DESPERADO allows for powerful returns with floating balls. Moreover, the ball dips when countering. Additionally, it complements the game with venomous pressure loops, lifting shots, and side attacks. From a defensive perspective, you can create both flat defensive shots and deceptive spin balls to unsettle your opponent. Put your opponent under pressure—play DESPERADO!

ALLROUND PREMIUM lives up to its name and more. It is perhaps the first disruptive rubber that allows you to aggressively block or even counter and shoot against topspin balls. Take control of the game and put your opponent under pressure! Even in passive play, ALLROUND PREMIUM excels: it offers flat trajectories and a dipping ball, all while maintaining exceptional control. Interestingly, the disruptive effect increases after a few weeks of play as the pimples soften. The rubber also shines in traditional defense: with precision, you can manage rotation from behind the table, returning the ball with pinpoint accuracy. This results in a mix of destructive underspin and deceptive, almost "empty" balls. ALLROUND PREMIUM stands out due to its unusual geometry, with vertically aligned pimples. This, in combination with innovative rubber components, delivers surprising effects both in passive and active play. The best disruptive effect is achieved with the red version, while the black version offers slightly better attacking capabilities. In summary, ALLROUND PREMIUM holds a top-tier position and represents an extremely interesting alternative for nearly every long pimple player.

The new grippy long pimple rubber NUMBER 1 will impress you in every way. It is a new development featuring a completely revised rubber compound and vertical pimple alignment. The pimples are now even softer, allowing you to reduce the speed of the game in passive play. Overall, NUMBER 1 stands out with excellent control in all situations. This is especially noticeable when returning serves and blocking fast topspin balls. The ball trajectory is noticeably flatter. NUMBER 1 also offers plenty for offensive play, as it is highly versatile: all common strokes in offensive pimple play can be executed with surprising ease.

With Hellfire, for the first time since the ban on smooth pimples, it has been possible to produce a dangerous rubber with a new rubber compound and unique pimple geometry that still has moderate speed. Previous long pimple rubbers could only offer one of these two characteristics. The low speed allows passive block balls to be played in a controlled manner close to the table. Topspins can be cut off and spin-rich balls are easy to execute. The rubber is also very resistant to spin when playing offensive shots. This makes it easier to play fast and well-placed balls. We recommend the sponge versions for classic defensive players who play away from the table. Benefit from our development expertise and play the revolution.

FIGHTER is another technological advancement in the world of grippy long pimples. The innovative rubber compound is responsible for outstanding control both at the table and in defense. FIGHTER also offers very good attacking options through pressure pushes and powerful counter-hitting at the table. This new formula allows for block balls with disruptive effect, whether through passive blocking or aggressive counter-pressing, as well as dangerous chopping at the table. Additionally, spin variations can be generated in defense.

MONSTER CLASSIC differs significantly from conventional grippy long pimples. Thanks to its special pimple geometry, rubber compound, and sponge, it allows for aggressive blocking and counter-hitting close to the table for the first time. Both spin-rich and very fast topspin balls can be blocked passively, but especially dynamically with a lot of speed. The disruptive effect is not based on spin reversal, as with the no longer allowed smooth long pimples, but rather on the dipping, fluttering, and speed of the block ball. Opponent’s counter-hits or push balls without underspin can now be attacked, putting pressure on the opponent. Additionally, MONSTER CLASSIC offers a soft touch with very good control, making it surprisingly easy to attack serves. MONSTER CLASSIC opens new dimensions for aggressive play with grippy long pimples, which was previously not possible.

BOOMERANG CLASSIC is ideally suited for long defense. The rubber is characterized by a lot of underspin and high control. Even strong topspin balls can be played back flat from defense. Furthermore, this grippy long pimple rubber creates particular danger because the ball drops quickly on the opponent’s side, making their next attack much more difficult. When playing at the table, BOOMERANG CLASSIC allows you to neutralize the incoming spin with the block ball, either by placing it short behind the net or on the baseline. Additionally, this ball is largely played back with little to no spin (“empty”), causing the opponent to tend to pull the ball off the table. Moreover, powerful counter-hits and pressure pushes can be executed easily. Even a direct shot on spin balls without prior preparation is possible. BOOMERANG CLASSIC: The dangerous weapon for playing with grippy long pimples, especially in defense.

Defend with Confidence! For classic defenders, the game is becoming increasingly challenging. Many dangerous techniques have been banned over recent years, most recently smooth long pips. DONIC has responded by applying FORMULA DONIC technology to a long pips rubber. The DONIC Piranja Formula TEC features soft, highly elastic, and grippy pimples. It generates significantly more underspin against topspin shots than conventional rubber technology allows. Thanks to the built-in speed glue effect, the pimples are faster and more sensitive, enabling excellent support for spin variations, blocks, and counter-attacks. DONIC Piranja Formula TEC: The perfect weapon for the technically skilled defender — especially effective when combined with DONIC’s modern inverted rubbers.

VEGA LPO is the first long pimple rubber in the VEGA series. Its unique rubber compound guarantees a high degree of control, enabling you to counter even fast topspin balls and spin shots. Experience the new generation of XIOM long pimple rubbers.
