Dr. Neubauer · Aggressor · Medium pips

Aggressor

The original Aggressor: half-long pips covering everything from OX disruption to 2.0 mm attack.

Aggressor is the most configurable half-long pips in the range. In OX it is a disruption tool for close-table blocking with meaningful reversal for the category; in 1.8 or 2.0 mm it becomes an attacking rubber that hits flat and fast. The pips are half-long, so the returns are more irregular than short pips but never reach long-pips reversal. Thinner builds increase disturbance and control, thicker builds increase speed.

Approval status follows the Dr. Neubauer catalogue check recorded on the date shown. Dr. Neubauer sells its competition range as ITTF-approved coverings; any covering the catalogue lists as training-only is shown as not ITTF approved. No reliable official Dr. Neubauer list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.

Spin reversal is the returned rotation of the incoming ball. It is stored separately from the TTDNA spin rating, which measures the rubber's own spin production.

Strengths

  • Very high control for its category

Best for

  • Close-table blockers who also want to attack
  • Disruptive attack players
  • Blocking players

Variants and configurations

7 variants

Colour, thickness and configuration are variants of one model — never separate products. Colour never changes a rating, MAX and OX stay qualitative labels, and OX carries no sponge hardness.

All-round players who want pips that mix blocking and hitting with some spin of their own.

Dr. Neubauer publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
