Dr. Neubauer · K.O. · Medium pips
K.O. PRO
The most versatile K.O.: half-long pips with a very wide sponge range from 0.6 mm to 2.0 mm.
K.O. PRO covers the whole spectrum of half-long-pips play through its sponge range. At 0.6 mm it behaves close to a disruptive defensive rubber — short, wobbling returns with strong reversal for the category — while at 1.8 and 2.0 mm it becomes a genuine close-table attacking rubber. The pip structure is half-long, so it is filed as medium pips and not as long pips regardless of the sponge chosen.

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
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
- Strongly disruptive ball quality
- Very high control for its category
- Genuinely usable for attacking
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
6 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.
