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 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.
