Dr. Neubauer · Punch · Long pips
Punch
An attacking long pips on a firmer 40° sponge: high reversal with unusually good hitting ability.
Punch is the most offensive long pips in the range. The firmer sponge lets the player drive, punch and block actively without losing the reversal that defines the category, so the rubber fits close-table disruptive attackers rather than classical defenders. Passive contact still returns the opponent's spin; the difference is how much the rubber gives back when the player commits to a stroke.

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-high
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
- Strongly disruptive ball quality
Weaknesses
- Own spin production is minimal by design
Best for
- Players who disrupt rather than out-spin opponents
- Attacking long pips players
- Blocking players
- Disruptive players
Not ideal for
- Players who want to loop with this side of the blade

Variants and configurations
4 variantsColour, 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.
