Dr. Neubauer Barricade: A defensive blade with excellent control Conceived for all players defending away from the table. Also very effective for short blocking close to the table. Especially those players using long pimples and seeking a slow blade for maximum spin reversal will be enchanted by Barricade. It enables very safe and yet dangerous chopping thanks to its relatively slow speed.

Barricade offers an excellent control and outstanding effectiveness for all rubber types: Maximum spin reversal can be reached when used with long pimples. With reversed rubbers or short pimples you can reach high rotation while chopping with Barricade. On top of this you can attack through looping or hitting in order to confuse your opponent.

To sum it up, Barricade provides an optimal balance between control and effectiveness for all passive and active strokes.

Reviews of Dr. Neubauer Barricade (11)

I dont agree with the people who say this is a blade with flex and very soft. The blade is slow, stiff and naturally not too soft. Its designed to block near to the table with long pips and antispin and also for the defence far away from the table. Its very good with ox pips, you can play very precise and at the right moment you can attack well. Very good blade and good price!

I have an unorthodox style of play - close to the table hitter and blocker who uses LPs and twiddles. The Barricade is a tremendous asset for this type of game! It is the slowest blade I have ever used but that is a good thing, bc it allows me to drop balls really short over the net with my long pips, and I can smack balls with any inverted rubber and they will land and be plenty fast, thanks to the catapult effect of the balsa core. SUPERB CONTROL. The huge blade face (164mm x 163mm) is an asset for chop blocking, and the amazingly light weight (my blade is 51g) keeps the blade light in spite of the extra rubber, as my setups with inverted & OX LPs are usually 117 to 130g. Tibhar Hybrid K-1 in Max, Tibhar MX-S 1.7, and DHS G666 have all paired excellently with the BC. Good LPs have included Saviga V OX and Qing in OX and 0.5; I plan to tame D.TecS 0.5 on it next!
This lightweight setup makes twiddling effortless and provides extra agility. I like the feel of my Defplay slightly more, however reducing my blade weight by 30g has been worth the trade off! FWIW, I do not chop, and I am a beginner-intermediate player. Highly recommended!

El Dr. Neubauer Barricade Def est diseado para jugadores de tenis de mesa que desean la mxima sensacin de la pelota y el control de sus raquetas. Tiene una velocidad defensiva baja, pero no pertenece a las bases defensivas ms lentas. Aunque, por supuesto, es uno de los ms sensibles.

This is an excellent defensive blade. The blade is large to allow covering more area when defending away from the table. The blade is very light, which is great to counterbalance heavy offensive rubber. Just keep in mind that because the head is large you will need more rubber, which will make the racket heavier. If your racket is heavy then it is harder to accelerate it, which means more effort is needed to achieve the same spin. If you think the blade is too big then you can resize it by sanding off a few millimeters to your desired size. This will make the blade even lighter. This blade pairs well with hurricane to allow aggressive attack from at least one side, which is necessary for the modern game. The blade flexes a lot, which combined with hurricane's tackiness provides you a lot of dwell time to slow down and direct the ball. Despite being able to attack, you need to be comfortable playing a defensive game. You will not be winning with power alone because it requires a lot of effort, which is exhausting. For the backhand you can use slower defensive rubber: either inverted or pips. For offensive pips there are better blades out there as this blade has too much flex. For fun you can put hurricane on both sides if you want to have an amazing workout.
