A-B-S

New sponge version with 2.1mm thickness available!

A-B-S

The new weapon for blocking close to the table

How can I be of service to you?

Well I do hold a master degree in killing any topspin by blocking, chop blocking or chopping at long range, be it loaded, with little rotation or a power attack. I specialise in doing this with a lot of spin reversal and just low and short over the net.

Actually during my studies I majored in another subject called ‘control’. Now I can keep in check any stroke with ease. Believe me this turned out to be quite an ordeal but I did it and now have fully mastered it.

You may call me slow, even very slow and I shall subscribe to this. However, if I get bored while blocking and pushing I do lose my temper occasionally, oh boy can I get aggressive then.

Doping? Trust me I don’t need it, actually I even hate it.

I am honest, reliable and durable. Let us shake hands and play together. It will be fun and a pleasure, albeit certainly not for our opponents. A-B-S is distinctively slower than our current Anti-Spin rubbers Gorilla and Grizzly and offers a much better control. On top of that A-B-S produces a very good spin reversal for a highly effective blocking game close to the table.

At the same time A-B-S provides good attacking possibilities through aggressive pushing and lifting, especially on chopped balls.

A-B-S and ANTI SPECIAL come with a new rubber mixture for the topsheet and a new type of sponge. Thus the rubbers come very close to our old frictionless long pimples.

A-B-S is ITTF-homologated since end of 2008 and is available as from now with the following sponge thickness:

1.2mm
1.5mm
1.8mm

The 1.8mm version is the slowest and hence the most effective for short blocking close to the table. The version with 1.5mm sponge is slightly faster and thus a bit more effective for attacking. The 1.2mm version enables both good blocking and most of all attacking.
