Nittaku Best Anti

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.

Si vous n’avez jamais testé d’antitop! et que vous désirez en tester un sans trop changer votre façon de jouer, le BEST ANTI est fait pour vous! Il perturbe suffisamment le comportement de la balle pour vous mettre à l’aise et placer vos attaques!!! ATTENTION, attaquer avec ce revêtement est dangereux!!! Il faut frapper plat! Toujours, sinon ça plonge directement sur la table ou, au mieux… dans le filet…. Testé en 1.8.

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, very slow and best effect for BH; need to practice more to get the attack feel. For blockers, best for variation, but for BH jabbing players, this is very slow and I won’t recommend it.

Got the 1.2mm and 1.8mm…. Both perform differently on different blades. I suggest using 1.2mm on an all-round blade and 1.8mm on an offensive blade to give extra cushion with the contact.

Flat hit is awesome… Hard to return by the opponent…. Thought 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. This anti is good for keeping the player close then hitting long; it is also easy to defend from the back of the table.

При игре с опытными игроками работает в течение одного сета, потом понимают что к чему и всё… Качество накладки соответствует японскому производителю.

Goma excelente para realizar cualquier cosa cuando encontrás el espesor adecuado entre madera y goma. En mi caso tengo una Sardius y Nittaku Best Anti 1.3; pensé que no la iba a poder controlar, pero resultó 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 that the slower your opponent hits the ball, the more you will feel the effect of the spin.

Caucho muy lento; las devoluciones necesitan mucho empuje. Si te descuidas un poco, la bola se queda en la red. Mejor Stiga Energy Absorber, que permite incluso ataques.

Nice rubber and best service TT11… thanks….

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.

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 as 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 speeds, 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 where 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’s 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 playing 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 cannot 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 as much as Yasaka Anti Power.

Excelente control.

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

Отскок очень слабый, резина не совсем скользкая, а имеет некоторое сцепление, и получается эффект демпфирования приходящего мяча, похожа на старый DONIC ANTI D.

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

The rubber does not bounce much at all; using Yasaka 009 long pip is better.

Please provide the equipment review you would like me to proofread.

Very good quality, and good price, excellent rubber!

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.

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 thru 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 regarding 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.

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.
