Dr. Neubauer · Number 1 · Long pips
Number 1
A long-pips classic with high reversal and an easy, forgiving response close to the table.
Number 1 is a well-established long pips built around consistency. It reverses spin strongly on passive contacts, keeps returns low and short, and behaves predictably when the opponent changes rotation. It handles active blocking better than the purely defensive builds while staying far from an attacking rubber.

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.
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 spin reversal on passive contacts
- Very high control for its category
- Stable when chopping
Weaknesses
- Own spin production is minimal by design
- Limited speed; points have to be won by placement
Best for
- Players who disrupt rather than out-spin opponents
- Defensive players
- Disruptive players
- Blocking players
Not ideal for
- Players who want to loop with this side of the blade
- Players who want to hit through opponents
