Customer review for Sauer & Troeger Super Stop

External Review for Sauer & Troeger Super Stop on February 9, 2019

Coming from long pips without sponge I wanted more variation with my backhand strokes, especially attacking ones. I tried the Butterfly Super Anti and it worked great but.... it is a heavy rubber. Being used to a lightweight racket (with long pips 130g) it was hard to get used to a 150g plus racket. In comes the 1,9mm Super Stop. It weighed an incredible uncut 20g and was 170x170mm in size. The control with this rubber is fabulous, attacking possibilities are certainly there but require some training. When chopping a topspin ball you can hardly miss. For reversal of spin you'll need the slick anti, but the control this one brings is unparallelled to me. This really is a rubber for control and placement, not for awkard flightpaths of the ball. Actively played it's a great rubber, passively played it's dead sure in control. All in all, my anti setup has gone from 150g+ to a mere 125g and it plays marvellous. For durability I'll report back in a few months.

After a few months I must report that I no longer play with it anymore. I played at a higher level and noticed that my opponents had no difficulty at all handling the balls off the anti rubber. I went back to Long pips without sponge which gave a bit more trouble to the opponent. Still I regard the rubber as very good at what it does: delivering rock solid defense.
