Forehand:
Primarily on the Forehand, the racket allows you to create the necessary pressure on your opponent. You keep the Backhand in play all the time and it enables you to induce changes in the ball whenever you want. Especially in active over-the-table play, Black & White becomes a real "weapon." Because of its light weight, you achieve a higher acceleration of the forearm, so the ball flies to the opponent’s side with higher speed and more rotation.
Backhand:
Reducing speed and a flat ball on the backhand are very beneficial for players with bumpers. Even faster bumpers, such as the Grass Schmerz, can be very well controlled, so the ball does not fly over the table. Pressure and a more aggressive ball are large advantages of this blade. Due to the low weight, short and fast motions are easy to perform. You will also find it easier to hold the racket above the table and thus strike the ball more quickly.
What rubber combinations do we recommend:
1. Near-the-table attack with a forehand. Offensive bumpers are played with the backhand.
2. On the front part we recommend an attacking rubber with greater control.
3. On the backhand it pairs beautifully with long bumpers (Grass), such as Hellfire or Schmerz.
The wooden part Black&White is a classic wooden blade, so you can combine it with any rubber combination. However, since Sauer&Troger is aimed at "PIMPLE" players, under points 1, 2 and 3 we have prepared various suggestions. Of course you can replace the previously mentioned rubbers with other models, for Hallmark rubbers, etc...

eliminates the entire ball rotation. When playing you will feel extremely in control, as this is a slow Anti-top sheet that provides excellent grip. This consequently enables perfect neutralization of rotation and safe play of passive balls.
But when you strike the ball aggressively, the Super Stop will also develop strong rotation. The opponent’s return is easily taken over and reinforced with small fast forearm movements. Because of its moderate speed for an anti-top sheet, it is not a problem to execute strong shots in a controlled manner. The ball then travels back to the opponent’s side with a very flat trajectory.
In addition, the Super-Stop sheet allows you to play a long ball to deter/complicate the opponent’s quick transition to attack.
Sebastian Troger’s tip:
Even if you have never played with anti-gum sheets before, it is worth taking a closer look at the Sauer & Troger Super-Stop and of course trying it. Especially if you do not feel safe when playing with long bumpers or smooth anti-gums and you tend to make more mistakes, the Super-Stop is the right solution for your problems.

is especially suitable when transitioning from a defensive to an offensive style of play. In this case the rubber forgives many mistakes that can occur during fast ball rallies. We developed Secret Flow Chop in combination with long bumpers (Grass) on the backhand to create a custom-made offensive rubber for bumper players.
Recommended playing system:
We recommend versions 1.5 mm and 1.8 mm for a classic defensive player or a player who plays close to the table and pays a lot of attention to control. Because of the "sc-sponge" you can alternate short and long balls. The 2.1 mm version is perfect for the modern player who takes every chance to attack. In attacks, the strikes are performed quickly; high speed is possible without losing control, which is usually the case when playing with too hard a sponge.
