Dr. Neubauer · Special Defence · Inverted
Special Defence
A specialist defensive inverted rubber: the most controlled option in the Dr. Neubauer range.
Special Defence is built for chopping and for keeping the ball low under pressure. It generates heavy backspin on a slow, brushing contact and takes the pace out of hard loops so that returns land short. Attacking is limited by design; the thin sponge range reflects the defensive purpose.

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.
