Hi dkpech,

Terrific stuff! Seeing ABS in action gives me some new ideas and makes me motivated to spend some time learning to use it better. How would you describe your playing system with it?

I use my Anti in defense to set up an offensive winning stroke. Change my opponents game plan to mine.

You make a little chop motion before you block against topspin. Is that necessary for control or extra spin. I seem to have better control with the frictionless-style handhold block (against the robot). I haven't played any matches with it yet.

I think it's just a bad habit. I does seem to work better when I just move to the shot and hold the blade still, but when I return a strong hit some side motion does seem to take some of the pace of my return.

How heavy is your blade? The Kung Fu blade with ABS 1.2 and Tenergy 05 1.7 seems pretty heavy (I'm used to ox pips on one side). Does the ABS work well with lighter balsa blades? I've tried it with Kung Fu, Grubba Carbon, Acoustic and Gergley so far.

Looks very much like a chop-block to me, just like with LPs...

That's the million dollar question. What can the ABS do that LPs can't do? And conversely, what can LPs do that the ABS can't do?

Ok here is the answer to the million dollar question/ though I think the answer is worth a bit less.
Neubauer's Antis can give both backspin and dead balls. Playing with the FLP and switching to say A-B-S one notices there is an angle change needed on blocks(FLP need a more open blade,else the ball tends to run into the net), that is because the Anti is a softer and has a hard sponge, where the FLP were typically played with no sponge.
The A-B-S will give both dead balls and heavy spin depending on the contact energy. Heavy soft loops will come with heavy backspin when just blocked, where if a player pushes these balls will deaden the inverted spin of the anti. Kills will return with little or no spin, and one is just happy to return them. Chop balls can be returned with topspin or one can kill the spin(dead ball) by push chopping the ball back.

This rubber has some of the playing properties of say a supper block, but one needs to learn this rubber well and I think then it becomes a even better tool than our old FLP. A beginner could before pick up FLP and do ok to well against better players, no so with these new Antis. One needs some time playing with it to become proficient,

My blade is a Harmuth custom seven ply blade with 2 layers of thin balsa, 3 layers of walnut and the outer plies are maple 95grams. This seems heavy but for me it works great. I use 2.1 tenergy 05 and now the 1.2 Black a A-B-S.

In testing the balsa blades give to quick and sharp rebound effect to these new Antis, so Neubauer does not recommend these for the Antis. Thiner non balsa wood blades are recommended. All- through All +

By the way, do you know what blade Guhe is using?

Hi Notbob, thought you`d like it. Try to ask "Bummelmichael" at youtube for the blade, I´m sure he has taken a closer look at it before or after recording that match. All I know about Sebastian is that he got killed with his old Anti and pips in "Oberliga" last season (used to play Fl before). He will play in a lower league next season.

Hi Guys,

What's the difference between the Dr's AS & ABS? His website lists 60 v 65 in speed, otherwise identical specs... That's almost too small a speed difference to warrent another rubber, so I'm guessing there's more to the story?

Cheers.

PS I'm amused that I've not read or posted here for a year, yet I still have an average of over 1 post per day! Glad to see you guys are still going strong though. mynamenotbob is still testing every new rubber like crazy, Speedplay is still using semi-anti, Mr Black & several other European's are still here which is very nice. Hookshot has switched to Shake!???
