TTR-KILLER New Evolution: der-materialspezialist TTR-KILLER SOFT #unboxing

[KenKen]

Hello everyone, I'm QuanQuan. Today, I'm going to unbox the new ANTI. Do you remember the TTR Killer I unboxed before? This time, it's the soft version. The cover character has changed to a girl. Honestly, I thought the original version had the best cover I've ever seen, but this one is even better. Well done, der-materialspezialist!
In this unboxing, I will compare the original TTR Killer with the soft version. I hope to clearly show everyone the differences between the two.

Our year-end goal is to reach 10,000 subscribers. If we surpass this goal, I will hold a giveaway and one lucky winner will receive my custom-made table tennis racket. I hope everyone can help me achieve this goal!

How do you find it compared to "regular" TTR Killer? Is deception/reversal OK?

The deception and spin reversal might not be as powerful as the original, but it's more stable. When the ball hits the rubber, it has a sense of being enveloped, and the power is released all at once. Of course, it is still an anti, so it is relatively insensitive to spin, making the attacks more stable. It can be considered a more reliable and steady anti rubbe

Hi I was wondering wich version is the slowest one?
The 1mm or the 1.5?
It doesn't really say on the website or in your review

When paired with a damping sponge, the anti-spin rubber typically becomes slower the thicker it is. The damping sponge absorbs some of the incoming ball's energy, reducing the speed. Therefore, with thicker rubber, the slowdown effect is more pronounced. So, when using a damping sponge, if you want a faster speed, consider choosing a thinner rubber thickness.

Interesting. I learn new things every day.

In 38 years of playing TT, never tried anti-spin rubber.....until now
Just for the sake of trying (and hopefully some fun), ordered TTR Killer Soft 1.5mm. Hopefully I can adapt without too many frustrations

Thanks for sharing your vids @QuanQuan !

First session done. Mounted on a Donic New Impuls 6.5 with Nuzn50 on FH.

I have totally no experience with antispin rubbers whatsoever and just sharing my initial thoughts as a total antispin-n00b. All my current findings are surely affected by my lack of technique

It's difficult to adjust. Especially blocking, as you have to just keep your bat still with an open angle.
Expected more spin reversal. Lower level players were still making the obvious mistakes, but as soon as I started playing against players of my own level, I could not impress.
No chance against hard-hitters. Players who just hit hard instead of playing topspin, didn't have any issues at all.
Disrupt the disruptor. Playing against aggressive long pimples player (same level as I am) went surprisingly pretty good. Especially pushing/chopping against long pimples was successful as the LP player didn't know how to handle it.

Don't think anyone in our club (approx 180-200 members) plays with antispin rubber) and it's also not common in my region at all. Many players are unfamiliar with it and struggly playing against it.

I had fun and decided to continue my experience. Might try the other type of antispin, glanti, as well.

PS: end of the evening I switched back to a blade with a "normal" inverted rubber. Normal between brackets, because it was Secret Flow Chop

Classic antispin rubbers generally don’t generate much spin reversal, especially with 40+ balls. To play effectively against higher rated players, you’ll need to play aggressively, giving your opponent less time to adjust to the ball coming from the anti. There is still some reversal, and if your opponent doesn’t adjust well, they’ll either make a mistake or give you a good opportunity to attack.

At the moment, I’m testing the Der Materialspezialist Anti Speed, which plays more like an inverted rubber than a classic anti. I think it could work for you, as it might make adapting easier. I’ve been playing with antispin for some time now, so I have some experience with them. If you're interested, I'd be up for a rubber exchange since I’d like to test the TTR Killer Soft as well. (I’m currently in NL, so we can use PostNL )

Wow, the New Impuls 6.5 is a really slow blade so with your anti you must play in slomo…
