Comparing Neubauer ABS 3 1.5 mm (black) with ABS 2 Evo 1.8 mm (red)

First testing blocks, then testing in match situations.
I used ABS 3 in 1.5 mm (black) on a Stiga Carbonado 90 blade. This is the blade I found that works best with this anti (or with its blue soft sponge). On FH I use Tibhar Hybrid K1 Euro.
Then I used a Stiga Clipper Classic with ABS 2 Evo 1.8 mm (red) with the same FH rubber.
My opponent at blocking tests uses a stiff carbon blade with Mark V in 1.0 mm (very thin) and lp ox on BH.
At match situations my opponent uses a Stiga Carbonado 90 with some ordinary FH rubber and short pips 802 1.0 mm on BH.
ABS 3 is clearly safer and slower, it is like whatever you do, the ball lands on the table. But this, of course, comes with a cost, and that is how difficult it is for the opponent. ABS 3 tend to have a higher trajectory at blocks, and some blocks goes very high. Sometimes there are lots of back spin in those blocks but mostly they are an easy kill for the opponent. But you can also add some speed while blocking and that way putting more preassure on your opponent (but against some players it is better to play very short).
Attacking with ABS 3 is a little difficult since it is very slow, but if you but some force behind the stroke there can be a nice attack, either as a lift or as an aggressive push.
The main advantage of ABS 3 is safety and ability to control the placement in depth. You can easily make a very short return. I would say that 1.5 mm is about as slow as 1.6 mm Barna Original Super Glanti or Vortex with 1.2 mm red sponge. The spin reversal is a little higher from the SuperGlanti top sheet (original in 1.2 works best on the Clipper blade), but you can still get enough back spin on blocks with ABS 3, just make sure to keep the block low.
The ABS 2 Evo has maybe a little more spin reversal, but it is difficult to say since the.rubners are on two different blades. But for me the Evo works very good on the Clipper (ABS 3 was nog good on Clipper). I like that blocks are safe but still low and with some speed. And the spin reversal is rather good (not as good as SuperGlanti but enough to use for this game style) and attacking with it is really good (just that I am not really used to that technique, the Luka-version of aggressive push-attack). I will work a lot more on attacking with this rubber and keep working on blocking with the right part of the blade (close to center, if the attack hits more close to the edge of the bat the block loose spin and control).

One more usefull comments by you, thanks Joachim. I'm a penholder, and I was using ABS2 EVO but the ball returned good to attack for my opponents... maybe becouse my level of playing is low, the balls comes with low spin, return with no spin...

[@JoachimKarlgren]

It could be both and also other things, like your opponents are good at playing without spin (what did you do to make them use lots of spin?). It could also be about the blade, not all of them works good with anti. Timing for blocks are essential and somewhat individual for each setup.

@@JoachimKarlgren good tip! my time ball is for inverted, not ' rigth on the bounce" as anti demands...

[@fiskernissen4623]

A little about the differences here ?:) -also compared to Barna SuperGlanti soft ? For me it looks like the ABS3 give you more balls on the table, but isnt good in the attack. where the ABS2 is a bit more fast, and the ball get lower at the net, and the attack is better with this rubber. -Maybe om not right here ;) i have thought a lot about to try the ABS 2 Pro in 2.0 on a Matador Texa Carbon. Have seen a lot of players with that combi.

[@JoachimKarlgren]

You are right in you analysis 👍. I wrote a little more.in the description, will write more later.

[@permyakovkirill2195]

Do you test yasaka trick anti? May be good compared with frictional anti and half frictional anti ?) Beacose all frictional same)

[@JoachimKarlgren]

I have not tested that.

[@wedolasercut1813]

Among all abs... Which slowest?

[@JoachimKarlgren]

ABS 3

[@JoachimKarlgren]

Both ABS rubbers are rather different from Störkraft and SuperGlanti. Neubauer ABS 2 Evo and Pro focuses more on attacking ability while ABS 3 is heavily focused on safety (similar to Spinlabs Vortex). Störkraft is also a bit focused on safety but more towards spin reversal and SuperGlanti is heavily focused on max spin reversal.
