External Review for Sauer & Troeger Banana on June 7, 2026

I paired Banana with a forehand G1 2.0mm and backhand Monkey 0.6 mm, the same setup I used for my Koki Niwa Wood. Compared to Koki Niwa Wood, the Banana isn't slow at all when hitting with low to medium power. The main difference lies in the speed when hitting with high power, the power of the shot, and the ball's feedback to the racket. I also really like the handle shape of this racket; it's very similar to the Koki Niwa Wood, both ST having a square shape.
The Banana's handle is a bit more square, thicker, and narrower. Besides, Banana is heavier and its center of gravity is closer to the head of the racket. Partially due to this, Banana's backhand flick is easier. Overall, playing Koki Niwa Wood is more exciting, while playing Banana is more relaxing and forgiving.

External Review for Sauer & Troeger Banana on April 30, 2023

Nice offensive blade that works with inverted rubbers and pimples rubbers. I put on Sauer & trger's monkey ox lp on bh as it's designed to be played with this blade and the marketing is correct on that. Everything except chop is easy and effective to use, even counter attack to topspin. On Fh i used tibhar hybrid mk, compliments the off- blade very well and every stroke is easy to execute, even fh chop. The control of this blade is also exceptionally good on both sides considering the base speed it generates which is pretty fast for a 5ply. I also really liked the straight handle, it's shaped like a hockey rink and fits my relatively small hand. Angle of the blade can be precisely manipulated and microadjusted with every finger.
