The Neottec Katana was designed for offensive players who want a balance of spin, power, and control. It works well as a backhand looping rubber. It also is a good choice for the forehand when players use topspins in the European fashion of bending the elbow slightly. The specially developed soft sponge has tiny pores which, in combination with a grippy top sheet give it lots of spin, precision, and a clear "Click" sound when looping or smashing.
