21/06/2023 great control but not much reversal Review by Uri Mints

Quality

It is a very slow anti.
It has perfect control.
The spin reversal isn't so good, and the balls returning to the opponent are not so hard for him.
it is suited for a tactical game based on ball placement, short\long blocks, keeping the ball on the table and then getting a comfortable ball and finishing with a strong FH.
you wont win a lot of points only from your opponents mistakes - like long\medium pips.

very very slow & best effect for BH ; need to practice more to get the attack feel. For Blockers best for variation but for BH jabbing player this is very slow wont recommend.

14/10/2020 regardless of what thickness it will always amaze you Review by Joe

Quality

Got the 1.2mm and 1.8mm....both perform differently on different blade..I suggest used 1.2mm on an All rubber and 1.8mm on an offensive rubber to give extra cushion with the contact.
Flat hit is awesome...hard to return by the opponent....thought you can't top spin an anti...try this and you will be amazed.

I switched to this anti from anti-power because of the straight flat shots of the seamless ball, best anti is good for keeping the player close then hitting long, it is also easy to defend from the back of the table.

05/10/2017 My favorite Anti Review by Peter Nachtwey

Best Anti, NBA, is excellent for what it is or tries to be. The top sheet and sponge are very soft and compliant unlike the newer German frictionless antis that have relatively brittle top sheets that will wrinkle if bent a bit.

This is my 3rd sheet of NBA. I have played with two 1.8mm and one 1.3mm NBA. 1.3mm is too thin. People say you get more spin reversal with 1.3mm over 1.8 and that may be true but if spin reversal is your main priority then get a German anti.

NBA 1.8mm kills speed and a little spin so there is a little spin reversal. Not a lot but the opponent still needs to worry about it. NBA is no where near as frictionless like the German antis. At slow speed the friction seems to be higher than at fast speeds. That could be the difference between static and dynamic friction. At low speeds you can either hit though the back spin or roll it. I often roll back serve returns to the pocket or at an angle to put the opponent on the defensive. At higher speed you want to block loops off the bounce with a little chop motion. The ball will go back at a much slower pace. The trick is to keep the ball low and to place it where the opponent can't attack it again. The complaint I get from my opponents is that is seems like that ball doesn't come to them. It screws up their timing.

I have seen were some people claim they chop with NBA. I can chop with NBA but it isn't that effective. You can only add a little spin the the ball. The advantage is that unlike pips, NBA surface is smooth so the ball goes back more consistently whereas pips bend and the spin long pips make depends on how much the long pips bend. I see the big advantage of NBA here is that you have an easy option to chop but if it doesn't work out go back to the blocking and placement game.

One more hint about play with any Anti or long pips. You have to be good at twiddling. The variation in spin and speed between NBA and the regular inverted will create a lot of unforced errors from your opponent. I think this is much more effective than just blocking with frictionless anti where you can do much attacking with it.

I have played with 2 sheets of Butterfly Super Anti, 1 sheet of Giant Dragon Guard, 1 sheet of DR Neubauer Buffalo, and 2 sheets of Yasaka Anti Power.
NBA very similar to Butterfly Super Anti but has a little more friction but not has much as Yasaka Anti Power.
