Sauer & Troger Firestarter - Defensive Table Tennis Blade

"Maximum control paired with maximum cut and effect!!!" The Firestarter takes the power for attacking shots and enables you to have more effect-rich attacks and a very accurate shot-game. Because of the woods low speed, it is especially useful for players with fast pimple rubbers. In addition it is great for all the players, who had a hard time defending topspin balls. We recommend following two playing styles/systems: Blocking and spreading the balls close to the table Defending far away from the table with pimples with sponge The distinguished veneers were handpicked by Sebastian Sauer and Pascal Troger. Since the wood was dried and stocked over extended periods of time, it keeps its playing abilities over long periods of time. After conducting many tests, both designers were able to use the new CBIF adherence. The CBIF adherence makes the forehand a bit faster and the veneer adherence makes the backhand a bit slower.

The Firestarter is the most defensive blade from Sauer & Troger. The exquisite veneers were specially selected so that you feel the maximum control of a table tennis blade. Due to the special CBIF gluing the forehand is a little bit faster than the backhand. This allows you to play the attacking strokes with the forehand with even more speed.
Due to a long storage and drying time the blade permanently keeps the playing characteristics, which it already has at the time of purchase.
