Without doubt the SpinLord Dornenglanz is our most famous long pimple-out rubber, and it is also one of the best-selling rubbers of this category in the world.
Also, it is still the most dangerous long pimple-out rubber available for blocking and chop-blocking at the table.
Playing block balls is superb in all variations, with or without using the wrist, active or passive. No matter with what technique you prefer playing block balls, the Dornenglanz is always the best choice if the highest possible disruptive effect is the most important point for you. And compared to the disruptive effect the Dornenglanz is still quite easy to play.
Many professional players also claim that they have chosen the Dornenglanz because it is very reliable – in any situation of the game, no matter how the opponent plays, it is easy to keep the ball under control and avoid easy mistakes. That the Dornenglanz is also rather insensitive to incoming spin clearly supports this.
Some players even say that it is also very good for chopping and attacking, but we think for these strokes there are even better rubbers. But if it is necessary, these can also be played effective and precise.
The speed of the Dornenglanz is medium high. The rubber compound is elastic and medium hard. The pimples are very thin and have a cylindrical shape. The space between the pimples is rather large. The tops of the pimples are flat and even a bit sticky to increase the friction.
The SpinLord Dornenglanz is now available also in blue color. The blue rubbers are slightly softer and slower, and even more durable than the red and black rubbers.
