The Dr.Neubauer Desperado 2 is particularly well-suited for classic long pimpled defensive players who rely on blocking, chopping, and disrupting their opponent’s rhythm. It’s a popular choice among players who play in a counter-attacking or disruptive defensive style, where the focus is on frustrating and disorienting the opponent rather than relying on high speed or spin.The rubber works best on slower blades designed for defensive play. Players who are used to an attacking style will find the rubber less suited to their needs due to its low speed, but for defenders, it offers plenty of potential for effective play. Comparison to Original Desperado: Desperado 2 offers a more refined version of the original Desperado, with improved control and a slightly better response on various surfaces. The pips' characteristics have been modified for better spin reversal and higher versatility in returning different types of balls. The original Desperado was already very disruptive, but the updated version enhances this feature while also providing a bit more consistency in returns.
