Dr. Neubauer · Defence Master · Inverted
Defence Master
A defensive inverted rubber with very high spin on chops and outstanding control at distance.
Defence Master is designed for the inverted side of a modern defender's blade. It keeps the ball on the racket long enough to load heavy backspin into a chop, stays stable when the opponent loops hard, and remains controllable away from the table. It is not a speed rubber: attacking is possible but the arc is low and the pace modest. Thinner sponges suit classical chopping, 1.8 mm supports counter-attacking.

Official Dr. Neubauer data

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.
