El caucho es muy lento, y las devoluciones requieren mucho empuje. Si te descuidas un poco, la bola puede quedarse en la red.

Es mejor optar por el Stiga Energy Absorber, que permite realizar ataques con mayor eficacia.

Esta goma te permite hacer lo que desees con la pelota, colocándola en cualquier lugar de la mesa. Esto complica considerablemente la situación para el rival.

This anti-spin rubber is pretty amazing. It effectively performs all the functions that an anti-spin rubber should. I have absolutely no complaints about this product.

Best Anti is one of the best antispin rubbers available. It is well-known for its excellent properties and impressive feel.

The white sponge is soft and dampening, providing exceptional control. It is very slow, making it easy to control the ball, whether you are dealing with spinny loops or powerful strokes. The topsheet is untacky and dead, but with proper training, you can generate some spin on your own.

Best Anti really shines in several key areas:

  • Defensive Play: Chopping is more consistent than with other antispin rubbers, and it is incredibly easy to execute.

  • Returning Serves: This rubber is exceptional when it comes to returning serves. Believe me, it is always very hard to attack a “Best Anti return.” Returning short is outstanding, and even when returning a long ball, it produces a “no-bounce” effect.

  • Blocking: The rubber excels in block shots, whether you are chop-blocking or executing passive blocks; all are effective.

In summary, Best Anti is perfect for defensive players.

Si vous n’avez jamais testé d’antitop et que vous désirez en essayer un sans trop changer votre façon de jouer, le Best Anti est fait pour vous !

Ce revêtement perturbe suffisamment le comportement de la balle pour vous mettre à l’aise et vous permettre de placer vos attaques.

Cependant, ATTENTION : attaquer avec ce revêtement peut s’avérer dangereux ! Il faut frapper à plat. Si vous ne le faites pas, la balle plonge directement sur la table ou, au mieux, finit dans le filet.

J’ai testé le revêtement en épaisseur 1.8.

I could start playing almost immediately after I put Nittaku Best Anti 1.8 instead of my Donic Acuda S1 2.0. The most amazing thing is how easily I can receive the opponent’s serve.

It is a very slow anti.
It has perfect control.
The spin reversal isn’t so good, and the balls returning to the opponent are not so hard for him.
It is suited for a tactical game based on ball placement, short\long blocks, keeping the ball on the table, and then getting a comfortable ball and finishing with a strong FH.
You won’t win a lot of points only from your opponent’s mistakes - like long\medium pips.

Very slow with best effect for BH; one needs to practice more to get the attacking feel. Best for blockers for variation, but for BH jabbing players, this is too slow; wouldn’t recommend.

Got the 1.2mm and 1.8mm…both perform differently on different blades. I suggest using 1.2mm on an All blade and 1.8mm on an offensive blade to give extra cushion with the contact. Flat hits are awesome…hard to return by the opponent…though you can’t topspin an anti…try this and you will be amazed.

I switched to this anti from anti-power because of the straight flat shots of the seamless ball. Best Anti is good for keeping the player close and then hitting long. It is also easy to defend from the back of the table.

When playing against experienced players, it works throughout one set, then they understand what’s what and that’s it. The quality of the rubber matches that of a Japanese manufacturer.

Excelente goma para realizar cualquier cosa cuando encuentras el espesor adecuado entre la madera y la goma. En mi caso, tengo una Sardius y Nittaku Best Anti 1.3. Pensé que no la iba a poder controlar, pero resultó ser lo contrario. La rigidez de la madera y el bajo espesor de la esponja proporcionan un toque mágico y mucha sensibilidad.

This rubber can be used for players trying to win using patience and by moving the ball left, right, short, and long but not necessarily with speed. Be warned, the slower your opponent hits the ball, the more you will feel the effect of the spin.

Nice rubber and best service from TT11…thanks.

#15May 2018

Great sound.

Very slow anti. Very good.

Best Anti, NBA, is excellent for what it is or tries to be. The top sheet and sponge are very soft and compliant unlike the newer German frictionless antis that have relatively brittle top sheets that will wrinkle if bent a bit.

This is my 3rd sheet of NBA. I have played with two 1.8mm and one 1.3mm NBA. 1.3mm is too thin. People say you get more spin reversal with 1.3mm over 1.8, and that may be true, but if spin reversal is your main priority, then get a German anti.

NBA 1.8mm kills speed and a little spin so there is a little spin reversal. Not a lot, but the opponent still needs to worry about it. NBA is nowhere near as frictionless like the German antis. At slow speed, the friction seems to be higher than at fast speeds. That could be the difference between static and dynamic friction. At low speeds, you can either hit through the backspin or roll it. I often roll back serve returns to the pocket or at an angle to put the opponent on the defensive. At higher speed, you want to block loops off the bounce with a little chop motion. The ball will go back at a much slower pace. The trick is to keep the ball low and to place it where the opponent can’t attack it again. The complaint I get from my opponents is that it seems like the ball doesn’t come to them. It screws up their timing.

I have seen were some people claim they chop with NBA. I can chop with NBA, but it isn’t that effective. You can only add a little spin to the ball. The advantage is that unlike pips, NBA surface is smooth, so the ball goes back more consistently whereas pips bend and the spin long pips make depends on how much the long pips bend. I see the big advantage of NBA here is that you have an easy option to chop, but if it doesn’t work out, go back to the blocking and placement game.

One more hint about play with any Anti or long pips. You have to be good at twiddling. The variation in spin and speed between NBA and the regular inverted will create a lot of unforced errors from your opponent. I think this is much more effective than just blocking with frictionless anti where you can do much attacking with it.

I have played with 2 sheets of Butterfly Super Anti, 1 sheet of Giant Dragon Guard, 1 sheet of DR Neubauer Buffalo, and 2 sheets of Yasaka Anti Power. NBA is very similar to Butterfly Super Anti but has a little more friction, but not has much as Yasaka Anti Power.

Excellent control.

#19April 2017

I have not used this rubber until now, but I am going to use it in the Hurricane Blade.

#20March 2017

The bounce is very weak, the rubber is not completely smooth, but has some grip and creates a damping effect on the incoming ball, similar to the old DONIC ANTI D.

#21April 2016

Name really says it all. Not ridiculously slick so it is easier to use than some anti-spin rubbers.

#22June 2015

The rubber does not bounce much at all. I prefer using Yasaka 009 long pip better.

#23April 2015

The rubber is being used okay now.

#24March 2015

Very good quality and a good price. Excellent rubber!

#25November 2014

Good.

Having used Yasaka Anti Power (and occasionally Juic Neo Anti) for many years, I decided to try the Nittaku Best Anti. Taking a bit of time to get used to the NBA, but first impressions are good. Chopped returns are easy and keep low, and my flat hit seems to skid through quite nicely. I’ll stick with the NBA, but will keep the YAP on standby just in case!

The surface of the rubber has minimal friction, so it is not totally frictionless. This friction helps you when lifting the backspin balls from your opponent. The rubber with the 1.8 mm sponge is very slow compared to any long pimpled rubber. So you have to push the ball well or it will go into the net. When chopping topspinned balls from your opponent away from the table, it is very disruptive. If you chop the spinned ball, it produces heavy backspin, but if you only carry it, the ball becomes totally spinless and dead so that your opponent may have trouble reading the spin on it. In the very first practices, you may have to get used to it.
