This was my first anti-spin rubber. I decided to try it after reading a review saying that, among all the anti rubbers tested, this one was the trickiest for opponentsand I have to say, I agree.
Its not the anti that kills spin the most, but it has a very interesting behavior: when blocking against heavy spin, it can slightly invert the spin. Thats what makes it so effective. Sometimes it completely kills the spin, and other times it returns a bit of inverted spin, which makes it much harder for the opponent to read whats happening.
I wouldnt say its the easiest anti for beginners. You need some experience to really unlock its full potential. But once you understand how to use it, it becomes a very strong and versatile rubber.
Another big advantage is that youre not forced to stay very close to the table. Many anti rubbers are so slow that you need to play tight to the table to be effective. With this one, I found that you can step a bit back and still block welleven using chop-blocks. Because of the low throw angle and the spin variation, it often forces opponents to return the ball higher, giving you a great opportunity to finish the point with your other rubber.
Its not fast (as expected from an anti), but once you learn how to attack with it, its fast enough to surprise opponents who are expecting a passive block.

Reviews of Donic Alligator Anti (3)
This is a good rubber for defense and attack. I use this on my backhand and I am quite satisfied. This rubber is not sensitive to the spin and can be easily performed on the back spin under attack.
Black 1.5mm on the BH of a TSP Reflex Award 50 Def+, with DHS G888 1.8mm red on the FH.
This was my 1st Anti loop rubber, I bought it to help me with service returns which is my weak point in my game. My BH is very active, chop hit and loop. I have tried some LP and they where all hit and smashed off the table, but this anti loop has made a big difference. It causes all sorts of problems for topspin returns. Balls tend to go in the net frustrating opponents. I can get a little side spin and back spin against most topspin or looped balls. I deliberately chose an anti with the lowest rating as I was not sure how this would play, I found the change from LP to this anti loop very easy and wow it really has improved my game. I am winning matches against players who in the past won easily. I also went from Off speed blades to fast Def+ blades to help me keep the ball on the table during rallies. My forehand is mainly loop.
I tend to play a mid table game, using chop, punch and block strokes with my BH anti loop, while looking for an opening for a FH loop kill shot.
