i will start off with a few faq:

1) is it true that the beast was pre-existing sheet that was modified or is it an entrirely new invention?

2) how does the interaction with the factory that works for you work? do you suggest how the softness/hardness / pimple allignment/length etc of the sheets should be and they send you samples and then things are altered step by step until you are happy with the product and it goes into production or how does the process work?

3) what was the motive behind starting your own business?

4) until now you specialised on antis and long pimples..will you be creating more inverted and short pimple sheets?

5. How do you decide on what new rubber you'll make next? Do you think of a style that could use some specific characteritics, or do you get a range of sheets made with certain variations, and then work out which sheets might be useful?

6. Which has been your most successful rubber / Blade?

7. What portion of your sales are outside Germany?

8.To get a new rubber approved, is there much interaction with the ITTF?

9. After the Frictionless ban, and what happened to TTMaster, are you worried that one day your rubbers may one day be a target as well, because they give certain players too much advantage?

1. Is it possible to make long pips even funkier than Grass D.Tecs, or is D.Tecs the absolute max possible?

2. You have an LP rubber on the ITTF list that isn't released yet called "Superwall." Will this be the answer for former Super Block users (I hope)?

3. How do you feel smooth antis and long pips work with the new plastic ball?

As your anti-spin rubbers are so stiff, how do you remove them without causing damage?
