The Firestarter is the most defensive blade from Sauer & Tröger. The exquisite veneers have been specially selected so that you feel the maximum control of a table tennis blade. Due to the special CBIF bonding, the forehand is slightly faster than the backhand. This allows you to play the attacking shots with the forehand with even more speed.
Due to a long storage and drying time, the wood permanently retains the playing properties that it already has when purchased
.
Forehand:
When you hit the ball with the forehand, you notice how the ball digs into the rubber and the wood. A moderate catapult effect is created, which lets the ball fly in a higher arc to the other half of the table tennis table. The rotation development is enormous. It will be easy for you to place the balls accurately and put your opponent in trouble in this way. Own attacks are quite possible with an early ball hit.
In passive play, hardly any wood surpasses the Firestarter. It defuses even the most powerful attacking shots effortlessly. If you want to drive your opponent to despair with control, then the Firestarter is just the right wood for you.
Backhand:
The feeling of security on the backhand is ideal for players whose block balls have sailed over the table so far. The wood allows excellent control even with fast pimpled coverings. The balls bounce flat and with a lot of rotation on the opponent's half. You can balance speed and spin with the Firestarter and develop into the safest player in the hall. The CBIF bonding is clearly noticeable and makes the wood very flexible.
The slow pace gives you more time to prepare for your next shot.
You'll develop a true feel for the rotation, the ball and the hardness of the shot.
Recommended playing system:
- Block game close to the table
- Defense far from the table with long pimples
Conclusion:
The Firestarter is the right choice for control and spin-oriented players.
