So, 2 more victories this weekend in German Bundesliga. One against Annett Kaufmann. Wasn’t a bad decision, I guess😅

Whats this name blade?

It is difficult to remove the sponge from Nittaku Best Anti rubber, you have to be slow, careful and patient so that the rubber is not damaged. As far as I know, antispin rubber is also affected by the sponge. But I've never done it.

So interesting experiment. I can imagine how difficult it was to remove the sponge. Interesting the result of the spin reversal. Thanks for producing each time interesting content.

Have you thought about playing with this ox antispin in a tournament, to see how it behaves "in real life"? Because there's a difference between a friendly drill and a match in which the opponent doesn't give you the ball to play as you wish, but tries to "fool" you by any means necessary.

Hi,I have try the same thing as you did.I find out remove the sponge cannot improve the reverse of spin . meanwhile,I buy ABS 2 , 3 and pro version, find out that the thicker sponge,the better reverse spin.that is because antispin rubber is different from long pimple rubber. long pimple rely on its pimple, so the thinner sponge the better reverse spin.antispin rubber use its thick,nonbouncy sponge to absorb energy, and the way you control the blade is also different.

Don't take it to Ploesti)

Thanks very much for your video. I am in the same situation and has a tough time choosing the right blade for using long pips on backhand and inverted on fh. Your opinion is very useful to me.

Hi, Great video. But there is one thing that I want to add to players consideration and its the layers of the blade. I found that ALC-Carbon blades aren't good for long\medium pips. you can play effectively with a fast blade, but without carbon. I currently play with Xiom Hugo calderano HAL - its fast but very controllable. and it works out great. I am playing with medium pips(KO)

She did win the U18 junior world championship at the end of 2024, was that already with antispin on her backhand? (Update: Confused her with somebody else, never mind)

Gracias por enseñarme a como usar de una mejor manera esta goma

My choice Jonyer H FL II with butterfly Super Anti on BH. And Donic M1 on FH.

Why play hard anti instead of strong longpimples? It will take a while for her to adapt to anti but forehand is very strong.

That is a detailed explanation. Thank You. Like you, I am concerned about getting the best setup. Current setup is Nikkatu Tenor (5 Ply wood) ST handle (84g) with MXP Hard in Max thickness on the forehand, and Grass dtecs OX on the backhand. I consulted with a high level long pips coach, and he recommended an offensive all wood blade, to make sure i have enough power to put away balls when needed. He himself uses a 7 Ply wood offensive blade. The tenor works great on the forehand. Absolutely fantastic. I have noticed though, that if someone sends a fast attacking shot into my backhand pips side, that sometimes my blocks go long and miss the table. So like you I am considering a less offensive blade, but still using the same rubber, and still avoiding carbon. Violin and Violoncello are the two i am thinking of for a possible second setup. Violin has a larger handle. Violoncello is classed as a defensive blade. I can't decide. Your video is convincing me to try the Violoncello, but I like the Violin handle better, as it might be better for twiddling.

Koharu at the back! The future best German player

Très beau challenge 😊

The Zero Skill style

She can try to learn in a training with Luka. The start is good 👍🏽

It fits so well with your game. So much control and powerful attacks

in about a year she will know if it was the right decision

So let me share my experience. I was like you an inverted rubber player with an extremely nice BH. Unfortunately I had a bicycle accident which injured my wrist and I thought that was the end. I actually attempted to learn with my other hand but quickly realized that would take years to master it to get to my expected level. When playing with a German friend which was using short pimples I tried them and in the same hour I won against him using his spare racket. So I decided to get medium pimples (Killer) and I was not in too much pain while making peoples's lives a living hell. Then I went to live in Austria and met a club manager who was playing anti... but I could not believe my eyes. He basically destroyed everyone up to Bundesliga level and he was already in his 50s. He had injuries on both knees but his reflexes, equipment and technique was mesmerizing. I changed and learned from him and it was a real trip, unfortunately the pandemic did not help by stopping practices. I decided to change back to short pimples and so far I am having a lot of fun with all the knowledge I accumulated. Conclusion : nobody has seen this guy play anti that way. He can kill BHs just like an inverted rubber with a technique that would leave you speechless. I am in more pain now but I realized that at a very high level, top players know how to avoid the anti "trap" and when the ball is killed into your BH out of the blue, it's very hard to time it properly. Short pimples are fun and also difficult to play against with the right technique. I still have my anti equipment which is out of the ordinary btw ! Good luck with your game, send me questions as you please as I don't wont to make this message long and boring....

She would've done much better with Dr Neubauer medium pimples such as Aggressor or KO. Both are very effective at producing weird balls and have much more attacking potential than anti-spin rubbers.

Footwork speed and forehand are very good. I assume though the top players will punish that anti spin side though.

No no no. There is the only antispin queen in the world, Amelie Solja

The Indian ladies do well with AS and hope she gets some top 10 wins.

The antispin rubber on her backhand didn't help at 1:16 as Sabine still dumped the ball into the net.

In the men's game, I don't think it would work very well. At intermediate levels, sure. But not at the top. I don't know the women's game well enough to say much about it, maybe there are very few antispin players so other players have very limited experience against it?

Is the other player also using Anti?

Cum va cheamă in amatur ca nu găsesc numele dumneavoastră nicăieri și vreau sa văd ce rezultate aveți cu anti spin dacă se poate.

She didn't have a backhand, so of course it was worth the shot

At 0:39 and 2:50 you can see that she still has the reflex to hit with the backhand like he used to when she played with inverted rubber :) But, overall, it is clear that she adapted very quickly to anti-spin.

what anti spin did she use?

I don't think that's "improving your game". Probably you win more often, but that's because most of the players are not used to play against defensive anti or long pimples players, not because of improving yourself.

Did you use inverted rubber on forehand? Good strike back sir. 🏓👍

i would appreciate if any videos on grizzly damping sponge1.5mm , hard to control on any type of blade, One thing is good you promote anti with good intentions for beginners.

meaningless video without sponge thickness and racket used. if u really want to promote anti spin in future give better details so people can really understand and opt to buy correctly.🥺

Is still good with these lines on it?

Amazing review, all the details are so accurate

Hello, I am a player who started playing ping pong at the age of 50, I will soon be 54. I have been playing with the BEST ANTI in 1.8 on a Docteur Neubauer Titan blade for a year now and the combination of the two is really very interesting!!!

Thanks for helping ruin the sport! 👍👍

Additional impressions after a month of playing: First of all, it is harder to play, including for me, than with inverted rubber on the forehand. Because I can't generate my own spin, I still don't have a good strategy against passive or defending players. In this video, things went well because the opponents generated their own spin. It's difficult to play also because, not having much friction (on the forehand), I have to be much more agile than usual, and I can't pick up the balls I reach late; for the same reason, I noticed less control on almost all of my active shots.

I am not sure how that would be an advantage. Loop, Loop Kill, smash and serve are all better with inverted. The anti and twiddling should be enough to disrupt the rhythm.

Amazing forehand choice 😊, so interesting setup

I would rather retire than play like that

You have a nice game. Fortunately, your opponent doesn't know how to serve properly to your half long pips.

Pips and Anti only has advantage on those that don't have much experience against these rubbers. If you play in a club where 50% of the players use these rubbers, the advantage wears off quickly. And when playing with players that can read every ball, you get into a disadvantage, as inverted rubber players will start leading the pace of the game. There are exceptions to this of course.

Hey! interesting setup! what are the match results? was it difficult to adapt?

Very good analysis! A small correction. Ayhika used short pips on her forehand when she played this match and that is her current set-up. She was using medium pips (Dr Neubauer KO) couple of years ago and now using Butterfly Impartial XS on FH. She has the Dr Neubauer Gorilla antispin in 1.3 mm on her BH that she has totally mastered. The blade she uses is Dr Neubauer World Champion Carbon. Intrigued by this style, I have also recently started using a similar set-up- Same blade with ABS3 or Barna Super Glanti on the backhand and Killer Pro Evo on the FH..Its so much fun but currently I give away too many points and get many points on deception as well...Both me and my opponents at the club level are confused during matches :D. Yes, it doesnot feel at home as you would with an inverted rubber, but recovering from an ankle ligament injury, I have decided to go slow as I am getting closer to being 50 yrs old!

Wow im surprised how good u use that medium pips rubber. May i know what medium pips is that and its sponge thickness?
