Diamant (Dr Neubauer)

Dr Neubauer DIAMANT is a new half-long pimpled rubber.

It offers very good control for service returning, blocking, attacking and defending, thanks to its very soft pimples.

DIAMANT comes with a sponge that has been especially developed for it.

This rubber produces a disruptive effect in particular while blocking and straight hitting since the ball is hit very flat and tends to stay low after the bounce.

With a 1.5, 1.8 and 2.1 mm sponge, DIAMANT enables you to produce a dynamic attacking game, putting pressure on your opponent with counter-attacking, lifting and smashing.

DIAMANT is particularly effective for attacking against chopped balls: Any backspin can be lifted very easily and smashed violently for direct winner points.

With a thin sponge (1.2 mm) the rubber offers even more disruptive effect when playing close to the table.

Dr Neubauer DIAMANT: a multipurpose weapon with very good control and disruptive effect.

I have seen lots of dr neubauers users start to use this rubber lately. The diamant is a so called "half long pips" rubber. The idea is that it has a long pips like feel but with short pips. Basically what i find is that it is more spinny, more control, less speed than a typical short pips. it is what i think of as kind of an all around short pips rubber (rather than an offensive short pips rubber). It is good for at the table, close game. Fast blocks drives and chops are all good for this rubber. With some better technique, you can smash. The feel is actually kind of like hard bat.
