Hi everyone, this is KenKen. Recently I tested the der-materialspezial and wanted to share some im
Fakir is designed right at the technical limits set by ITTF. The pimples are relatively stiff, with fine ridges on top that give it a slight grip. That extra friction means it doesn’t just behave like a pure “dead” pips rubber,
On the table it felt clearly more like an attacking-.
I invited Coach Lin Yu-Qun from Raiders Table Tennis to demonstrate with it, and he confirmed that Fakir offers good stability when you hit through the ball and is best suited for players with solid power who like to attack. I also tried it myself, and while I usually play anti-spin, I was surprised by the speed and directness Fakir could generate once I committed to the stroke.
If you want to see the full test , you can check out the video here:
