Dr. Neubauer · K.O. · Medium pips
K.O. EXTREME
The most disruptive half-long pips in the range: fast, awkward and available in OX.
K.O. EXTREME is half-long (medium) pips, not long pips and not short pips. The pip length lets it destabilise the ball far more than an attacking short pips while still allowing direct hitting, which is why it works for close-table players who want to punish loopers rather than chop them down. Passive contact returns a wobbling, low ball with partial reversal; active contact produces a fast, flat drive. OX and the thinner sponges maximise disturbance and control, the 2.0 mm build adds speed. Own spin production stays low by design.

Official Dr. Neubauer data
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.
TTDNA ratings
Confidence: Medium-high
TTDNA values are TTDNA's own editorially normalised 0–100 ratings. They are never an official Dr. Neubauer rating and never a conversion of the Dr. Neubauer manufacturer scale.
Effect profile
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

- High speed on active strokes
- Genuinely usable for attacking
Weaknesses
- Less forgiving on mistimed contacts
Best for
- Close-table blockers who also want to attack
- Disruptive attack players
- Blocking players
Not ideal for
- Players who dislike an unpredictable return from their own racket

Variants and configurations
5 variantsColour, 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.
