Dr. Neubauer · Nugget · Short pips
Nugget
The most controlled short pips in the range: slower, spin-capable and forgiving.
Nugget is aimed at players who want the pips-out feeling without the pace. It produces a reasonable amount of spin for a short pips, keeps the ball on the table under pressure and handles pushes and chops better than the attacking builds. It will not blast opponents off the table, and it disturbs less than the Killer family — control is the point.
