Dr. Neubauer · Leopard · Short pips
Leopard
A control-oriented disruptive short pips with unusually good chopping behaviour for the category.
Leopard is slower than the Killer and Explosion builds and gives more away from the table in return. Blocks are low and irregular, and the rubber handles a chopped ball better than most short pips, which makes it a fit for players who defend a step back and then step in to hit. Own spin remains low; the disturbance comes from flatness 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-low
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

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
- Very high control for its category
Weaknesses
- No currently verified official thickness selector
Best for
- Close-table hitters and counter-attackers
- Close-table attack players
- Counter-hitting players

Variants and configurations
1 variantColour, 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.
