This product was discontinued and would no longer be available.

Rubber type : antispin
Diabolic is an antispin rubber that seeks to emulate the properties of a long pip rubber. Namely the low and disruptive trajectory long pips are known for on blocks. The dampening sponge reduces speed and allows for high control. IMPORTANT- Glue all Der Materialspezialist antispin rubbers with the glue sheet (should be ordered separately) using the instructions provided. If instructions are not followed, refund claims for damaged antispin rubbers will not be honored.

10/07/2020 Strong reversal and can add more variations when chopping Review by Hin
Quality
I have changed to this rubber from long pimple, and this is so much easier to use. It has a natural reversal effect from simply blocking, and the sponge is also very soft, when chopping with the ball sink into sponge the spin reversal can get a lot stronger.
Also to note that this rubber is very very slow. When dropping the ball onto the bat it almost does not bounce back up, this might need to take a while to get used to. But in return you can basically chop as hard as you want without worry the ball would shoot off the table. And because of how slow it is, big chopping swing close to the table is also possible and quite easy to do.
Recommendation:
If a long pimple is too difficult to learn this would be a good alternative, but you need big swing to get a decent reversal from this rubber, and if you want strong reversal from just touching the ball without any swing then try the Der Materialspecialist Transformer, but be aware that that rubber has a much harder sponge so you don't get as much control or spin variations.
02/05/2018 Really n truly the Devil Review by Yap Chun
Quality
After several weeks,, took a while getting used to it. This rubber earned its reputation. Its spin reversal and weird returns truly frustrate any player tried to topspin or smashes. Their spinny served becomes simply almost useless when my chop return affected their 3rd ball attack return. Their offensive success rate is very minimum. Using black FH 1.6mm,BH DHS C8 0.5mm LP, w/japan sponge. On 5ply juic ghost Def blade. After the game, several players wanted to know what rubber. those advanced players momentum totally disrupted. Control is high, very slow also very deceptive. Very smooth surface. Hardly bounce. Hard Push block returns against heavy topspin.very effective. Especially a few feet away from the table. Otherwise, the ball will not over the net. Chop returns lots of times, consistency rate for ball landiing at the edge kinda norm. how opponent reaction always surprised. Chop blocks return is far better than just block at close table, plenty of spin reversal . This rubber not for everyone unless you like very defensive short game, enjoy disrupt offensive player making error reading when they try to attack. when they started chopping to control the ball, thats where BH speedy ball comes in.
Confusion and crazy is what they commented.
30/04/2018 A nice disruptive rubber. Review by Michael Holland
Quality
Good disruptive qualities, difficult to keep the ball low, but not easy for opposition to attack.
