Sauer & Tröger Blackout je high-tech anti-spin rubber for defensive players near the table and disruptive all-round players who want maximum control, very short and low bounce, and a pronounced disruptive effect. Ultra soft sponge provides a secure feel even against strong topspin strokes, while the rubber also offers surprisingly effective active options, such as counter, aggressive push, and side shots.
The greatest advantage of the Blackout model is its ability to turn powerful attacking balls into short, low, and very awkward returns. Because of the ultra-soft sponge and linear damping, it offers a very secure feel during play, meaning the player maintains excellent control even with fast topspin attacks. That is why Blackout is an excellent choice for players who play close to the table and want reliable blocking, shortening the ball, and forcing the opponent to make a mistake.
An important asset of this rubber is also the extremely low surface grip, which enables a very strong disruptive effect. The ball often takes an unpredictable trajectory on contact, the bounce remains low and short, and the opponent has difficulty judging the amount and direction of rotation. This is ideal for players who want to create pressure, confusion, and a tactical advantage with anti-rubber right from the first contact.
Blackout is not intended for passive defense alone. In addition to controlled blocking play, it also enables surprising offensive options, such as active pressure, counter-attacks, aggressive pushes, and sideways strokes. This combination of safety, control, and unpleasant response makes Sauer & Tröger Blackout an excellent choice for defensive specialists and disruptive all-round players who play close to the table.
