Dr. Neubauer · Killer · Short pips
Killer Pro
A faster Killer with the same boundary-line pip character and a firmer, more penetrating block.
Killer Pro keeps the strongly disruptive Killer pip structure and adds pace. Active blocks travel deep and stay low, and flat hits are genuinely offensive weapons. Like the rest of the family, it sits near the short/medium-pips boundary and should not be described as ordinary short pips. Its own spin is low; the trouble it causes comes from flatness, speed and partial reversal.

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.
TTDNA ratings are normalized comparison values, not laboratory measurements. They are built from published specifications, technical sources and structured product evidence, converted to one 0–100 scale. Where a directly comparable measurement is unavailable, the value is an evidence-based estimate. Overall-style scores are composites of several characteristics. Methodology

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
Best for
- Close-table hitters and counter-attackers

Variants and configurations

Known users
