External Review for Der-Materialspezialist Scandal on March 5, 2022

After playing with different anti rubbers at a Regional National Level (league) I believe that this rubber can be played (after excellent training) at high level. The rubber is super slow, cannot compare with other antis which are rated at higher speeds as your blocks from incoming bombs will go out of the table. It absorbs the impact of the ball tremendously (therefore not really recommended if you don't have high experience with anti playing to start with). It has a super slippery surface (not glossy) and the overall feel is medium-soft and not super hard.
I have it combined with a Timo ZLC since I like the extra power on the FH. The anti still keeps it's control but you do need to train the soft touch of the hand, as you will need it to control incoming high speed loops. If you are able to return the first loop, the attacker will need to be a good level player to be control the reverse spin (it's not an easy task). If you are able to tweddle between the anti and a FH sticky rubber you have a very high level game. If you are able to develop a high level BH (flip or swipe) attack this combination can be a lot of fun to play and you can take to a higher level with practice of course. Receiving serve is a breeze because of its control and slippery surface. You can also defend from far with it, the ball will be loaded with reverse spin if you got a spinny loop. I would not use it on a slow blade as the combi will be become too slow to control. some youtube videos will show you how slow it is !!! (I am not allowed to give less than 4 but there not many rubbers this slow)

Sloooooooowwww and frictionless compared to the famous ones out there (Yasaka and Bty anti spin). It's got good control, better pair it with def or all round rubber. Too slow for me, I thought I played defence but not until I used this. If you're into tricky games this is for you. P.S. Don't forget to read the instructions because it's sponge doesn't use glue.
