    The perfect Anti-Spin combination between spin reversal and control

    BUFFALO provides highly interesting playing characteristics thanks to a completely new rubber composition.

    A long and tedious development program finally enabled us to combine the strong points of all our existing Anti-Spin rubbers. This results in an exciting new rubber that will set a new benchmark both for control and disruptive effect.

    BUFFALO produces excellent spin reversal while blocking against topspin shots with a lot of rotation thanks to its completely frictionless surface. Also control was decisively enhanced to ensure safe and disruptive blocking close to the table.
    In that regard BUFFALO can be considered as an alternative to our old frictionless long pimple rubbers especially as far as spin reversal is concerned.

    Furthermore BUFFALO enables to produce deceptive attacking shots. The most effective technique is aggressive pushing on chopped balls but counter-attacking against float balls will also put pressure on your opponent.

    All in all BUFFALO is a fantastic weapon for blocking close to the table – try it out!

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The Buffalo (anti-rubber) is gaining attention from table tennis players seeking unique playing styles, praised for its low friction and excellent control performance. The balance between offensive capability and usability is appreciated, though maximizing this distinctive feel depends on the player's skill level.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Smooth surface with minimal friction, unaffected by opponent's spin
    • Excellent control performance suitable for front-court play
    • Simple ball feel that delivers the racket's rebound directly
    • Combines anti-rubber properties with offensive capability
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being anti-rubber, it's capable of attacking with outstanding control performance and decent repulsion, allowing powerful topspin loops in short pushes.
    ▽ CriticalWithout rubber acceleration or deceleration effects and no ball gripping, control is extremely difficult and adjustment is possible only through ball contact angles.

      It's an anti-spin rubber, but you can still attack with it.
      Overwhelming control, and decent bounce for an anti-rubber — push with a bit more impact and it really bites!

      The surface is completely smooth with zero friction, so you're not affected by your opponent's spin at all.
      Both the rubber and sponge are extremely hard, giving a feel like you're hitting with bare wood.
      Since the ball doesn't sink in at all, control is extremely difficult — the only way to adjust is the angle you hit the ball at.
      As for speed, the rubber neither accelerates nor slows the ball down; you just get the blade's own bounce coming straight through.
      It's a rubber that feels like you're hitting with a bare blade, with no rubber on it at all.

      Kaolin Anti rubber for close-to-table play

      Reviews by user

      This is a new kind of rubber — an anti-spin rubber meant for playing close to the table! I don't think there are many players like that these days, but that's exactly why it opens up new territory. If you can perfect this playing style, it'll be very unique, confuse your opponents, and help you win matches!
