This new version A-B-S 2 SOFT comes with the same pink colored dampening sponge. The rubber formula of the topsheet has been reworked, however.
This provides even better control and makes it even easier to find the right angle for the bat while blocking, especially against fast topspin shots without spin.
Also, A-B-S 2 SOFT provides improved control when used with modern ABS balls.
The spin reversal produced is the same. The attacking possibilities are improved, however. Backspin balls can be hit with a fast wrist movement and counter-attacking is a bit easier to perform.
A-B-S 2 SOFT is probably the first frictionless Anti-Spin rubber on the market that also allows for active blocking since the bat can be gently moved forward while blocking. This will produce a diving ball and also spin reversal.
This way you do not need to block short over the net every time, instead, it is possible to change the rhythm of the game.
Available with dampening sponge with the following thickness: 2.1, 2.3 and 2.5mm
2.1mm (best spin reversal, low speed)
2.3mm (very good spin reversal, even lower speed, very good control)
2.5mm (still very good spin reversal, slowest version, very good control)
