- Naturally this new development offers only little spin reversal.
- Nevertheless it does produce a considerable disruptive effect on account of a completely new and innovative rubber composition which changes the playing characteristics decisively.
The new long pimple rubber from another dimension
Nevertheless it does produce a considerable disruptive effect on
account of a completely new and innovative rubber composition which
changes the playing characteristics decisively.
Both the version without sponge (OX) and the version with sponge (0.6 and 1.0mm) are very effective for chop-blocking
close to the table. Also the ball can be blocked passively or
aggressively against topspin through a sort of push-blocking
technique where the ball is being “pushed down” while holding the bat
in a rather closed angle.
Furthermore the ball can be kept short over the net for service returns
even against fast services with no spin on it at all. The ball bounces
very low and even moves backwards to the net. The version with sponge
(especially with 0.6mm) enables a more dynamic service returning and
thus also provides a good disruptive effect. This also holds true while
returning services with a lot of spin since this makes the ball float.
Also the ball bounces very low while counter-attacking.
On top of that the rubber enables highly disruptive attacking shots
through aggressive pushing, lifting and sidespin strokes.
Finally DESPERADO is a good choice for chopping too since the ball can
be returned very flat with good backspin or alternatively as a float
ball.
