Description SpinLord Stachelfeuer Premium

The SpinLord Spitfire Premium is a German-made table tennis rubber that belongs to the Long Pips category. It is known for its disruptive effect and is considered one of the fastest Long Pips rubbers available on the market.

Construction

• Pips Type: Long Pips.

• Geometry: The pimples are wider, yet firm and rigid. This construction is essential as it provides increased stability and speed.

• Sponge: The rubber is typically supplied with a soft and fast sponge (usually around $35^{\circ }$ ESN scale). This sponge gives the rubber a catapult effect and the necessary speed, which is not typical for all long pips rubbers.

• Thickness: Available in versions with sponge (e.g., $1.0$ mm) or without sponge (OX).

Playing Characteristics

The Spitfire Premium is ideal for players who want to actively use long pips for offense and fast play close to the table.

1. Speed and Attack:

   • It is one of the fastest long pips rubbers on the market.

   • It is excellent for attacking shots with the pips (hitting), counter-attacks, and drives against backspin. The fast sponge makes it easier to finish the point than with slower defensive pips.

2. Disruptive Effect:

   • Low to Moderate Spin Reversal: Because the pips are stiff and the rubber is fast, the spin reversal effect is lower than that of very soft, pure defensive long pips rubbers (e.g., SpinLord Dornenglanz or Butterfly Feint Long III).

   • Disruption via Speed and Trajectory: The disruptive effect is achieved through the fast drop of the ball and a low, unpredictable trajectory after an attack or block.

3. Control and Defense:

   • Control is good for an offensive pips category, but it requires an active stroke. Due to the rubber's speed, it is more challenging for passive defense and chopping away from the table compared to slower long pips.

   • It is excellent for blocking close to the table.
