So what is the difference between Scholer and Dr.Neubauer , the two German equipment makers / dealers ? ?
In some ways there really is not a lot of difference between these two German equipment makers / dealers
Scholer repeatedly raped the sport using his position on the ITTF equipment committee & with the help of Adham Sharara & the like likes of the cult leader Rev. Larry Hodges.
All this is mostly for his personal business benefit.
Scholer exploited the fact that he was a chopper but the stupid ignorant choppers who came after became the massive collateral damage in the frictionless rubber war between Dr.Neubauer & Scholer.
I would also tend to think that Dr.Neubauer produced all these disruption based rubbers for his own benefit also during his early playing days.
Dr. Neubauer 's many smart blades are the best for any type of defender.
However Dr. Neubauer has never made any decent rubbers for modern combination choppers.
We have come in sort of full circle with the battle between Scholer & Dr. Neubauer . Scholer always pushed for anti rubbers so that Dr. Neubauer ’s pips market share would suffer.
I really would love to get a copy of Scholer’s video on how to twiddle the one color racket that had black anti on one side & black spinny inverted on the other side. This was made before the 2 color rule but I saw it well after into 90’s.
But then suddenly Scholer found religion and God and passed the 2 color rule though primarily to punish Dr. Neubauer by pushing anti rubbers .
Now the crazy thing is that after all the 12 or so rule regulation changes to limit pips since 1977 , Dr. Neubauer now pushing anti rubbers.
But I am not sure if Dr. Neubauer cared about the sport at all & only cared about personal benefit only . This is not much different from Scholer who exploited the benefit of him had been a chopper by limiting DR. Neubauer rubbers & also probably made profits running the World Veteran’s Championships.
But now Dr.Neubauer Is not active much. But if he wanted to leave a legacy he should start a rival organization against ITTF for al the abuse he received from Scholer.
The World Master’s event in Rome got 6000 players. If Dr.Neubauer ran a similar event for ages 40+ players, but with different rules bringing back the ITTF banned frictionless pips & also allow actual long pips with lengths upto 2.5 mm & Aspect Ratio of 1.5 for choppers (This would be the value for a close level & fair playing field considering the robotNazi illegal booster freaks) , such a tournament should get 10000 players easy in many places like Germany, France, Italy, China, Korea , India etc .
I personally do not support disruption based rubber designs per se as a stand alone but in the context of all the rampant illegal cheating by booster freaks & the rules are so tilted in favor of top spin only style of play, I strongly support Dr.Neubauer rubbers because it helps older players enjoy the sport. But the booster freaks will continue to pretend like they are holy chosen ones
But it looks likes Dr. Neubauer is still afraid of the corrupt ITTF .
So I see not much difference between these two but I would hold Dr. Neubauer just as much responsible for allowing this nonsense by the ITTF go on for so long.
