Sauer & Troeger

The objective was to create with highest quality of materials and the best  blade for the modern defensive player – despite all tje costs of development and material. The result is here: ZEUS. We are proud to present here  this exceptional laminate to you.

The selected veneers were personally selected by the developers. Through long storage and drying time, the wood retains the proprietary playing characteristics permanently. The CBIF gluing means that the forehand side is slightly faster. On the backhand side, the rebound behavior feels slightly slower.

With this creation, the manufacturers promise the perfect feeling with ABS balls and a wide range of applications through the use of various rubber combinations.

Table tennis all-round blade Black & White Objective: More spin for playing with plastic balls. Features: Veneers: 1+2 layer: Koto 3+5 layer: Black Coth 4+6 layer: Balsa 7 layer: Limba Weighing in at around 67 grams, the Black & White is an absolute lightweight among table tennis blades. It actively protects your wrist and prevents tennis elbow. During development, we made sure that the 7-layer combination blade harmonises very well with pimpled rubbers. In terms of speed, the forehand side is between all-round plus and offensive minus. The backhand side is in the all-round range. You will immediately feel how pleasantly safe and dangerous the blade is to play with. Forehand: The blade puts a lot of pressure on the forehand. The balls bounce directly and catapult-like from your own blade to the front. You always have the upper hand in the game and can dictate the rallies as you wish. Especially in active play above the table, the blade becomes a real weapon. Due to its low weight, you also achieve higher forearm acceleration. This means that the ball flies to the opponent's side with more spin and speed. Backhand: The reduction in speed and the flat ball bounce on the backhand are very beneficial for pimpled rubber players. Even faster pimples such as the Lange Noppe Schmerz can be controlled very well, so that the ball does not fly over the table. The pressure push and the attack ball are the great strengths of the wood. Due to the lightness of the wood, short, fast movements are easy to play. It will also be easier for you to hold the bat above the table and hit the ball as early as possible.

Properties: The Banana really packs a punch. Offensive, powerful, but not too fast. In combination with a pimpled rubber (unfortunately there are no yellow pimples), you will love the controlled, flat ball bounce. In combination with an offensive forehand, there are no limits. Recommended playing style: Close-to-the-table offensive play with the forehand. Active and distributing pimpled play with the backhand. We recommend an offensive rubber for the forehand. On the backhand, the Banana harmonises wonderfully with a pimpled rubber. The Sauer&Tröger Monkey long pimpled rubber is predestined for this blade. It is looking forward to unfolding its full potential on the Banana and annoying its opponents.

Zhero - Offensive Objective: finally! With the long-awaited ZHERO offensive blade, here is the ultimate weapon for players who love pimples. Its sleek design and high-end materials will particularly appeal to offensive players and those who love spin. Veneers: 1+7 Veneer: Koto 2+6 Veneer: Carbon 3+5 Veneer: Ayous Wood core: Kiri Characteristics: The ZHERO is moderately hard and provides an extremely sensitive frame for fast, spin-oriented offensive play, even with two offensive rubbers. The offensive blade has been adapted in every detail to the playing characteristics of the new ABS ball. In combination with pimpled rubbers, it achieves maximum spin and the ball dives flat and controlled despite its high speed. But that's not all: the ZHERO is also a real gem in terms of aesthetics. Recommended playing system: The ZHERO is perfectly suited to the playing characteristics of all types of pimpled rubbers. However, it can also be used by players who play offensively on both sides. We recommend it, for example, for the following types of players: The modern long pimple player: with the ZHERO, you will find the perfect blade for offensive play with lots of spin in combination with a pimpled rubber. You will enjoy an extremely intense playing sensation. With your backhand, you force your opponent to make numerous mistakes and can then finish with power with your forehand. The offensive player on both sides: more and more purely offensive players are enthusiastic about the spin development and feel of this perfectly suited offensive blade. Conclusion: the ZHERO is an absolute signature blade that can be used up to the highest leagues!
