Killer Pro Evo

The most developed Killer: maximum disturbance for the family with the highest attacking speed.

Killer Pro Evo is the evolution of Killer Pro, with a slightly higher top speed and the strongest disruptive effect in the family. It suits close-table players who attack constantly and want every ball to arrive awkwardly. As with all Killer builds, it sits near the medium-pips boundary; the low spin figure describes its own spin production, not the reversal it applies to the opponent's.

Variants and configurations

5 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.

Known users

Fast-block and hitting players — pen-hold forehands and close-to-table backhands that punish topspin early.

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