Sauer & Troeger Zeus

Sauer & Troeger Zeus - Combination Table Tennis Blade

Zeus was meticulously crafted to deliver the highest quality and best blade for the modern defensive player, without compromise on development and material costs. It features a unique blend of the smallest parts of graphite, the wood of the Japanese emperor tree, and 2 veneers made of ideally parallel UD carbon, setting it apart from other blades.

The outer veneers made of Japanese Kiso Hinoki complete this combination perfectly.

The wood stands out due to its simple grip and the large blade.
The handle is wider and flatter than other defensive blades on the market.

The Zeus blade is designed to accommodate a wide range of hand sizes, from medium to large. Its wider and flatter handle, a departure from the norm in defensive blades, ensures a comfortable grip. The center of gravity is strategically placed, about 3 cm from the end of the racket handle, making the blade easy to maneuver and preventing it from feeling top-heavy during play.

Forehand: Similar to the Firestarter, the special CBIF bonding has a very positive effect on the blade's playing characteristics. This means that attack shots can also be played over the table at an above-average speed. When blocking, the wood feels like a wall. The tempo is taken out and you can control the placement yourself.

The great strength of this blade is also soft topspins on backspin, which you can play with a lot of feeling and rotation.

Speed: Offensive Minus/Allround Plus
On the backhand, the Zeus blade truly shines. Its large blade, a testament to its goal of ultimate control and maximum rotation, provides a unique playing experience. Upon contact with the ball, you'll immediately notice the intense feedback the Zeus provides. The ball seems to dig into the pimples and is then propelled out at a flat angle, a testament to the blade's exceptional rotation development.

The large blade helps you enormously so that you hit the ball in every situation.
Game System: Sauer & Troeger specifically recommends the Zeus blade for the all-rounder close to the table and the defender far away from the table, providing guidance on the best use of this high-quality equipment.

The blade is perfectly tailored to the long pimple Hellfire rubber.
