Sauer & Troger Hipster Table Tennis Rubber
This is a versatile medium-pimple rubber designed for all-round players who want to combine effective defensive play with active attacking shots. Featuring soft, medium-length pimples and a harder sponge, it blends the playing characteristics of short and long pimple rubbers to deliver flexibility, control, and speed.
Its unique pimple structure supports counter-hitting, topspin attacks, and shots against incoming backspin. During passive play, it can produce a flatter, less predictable ball trajectory, making push and block shots more challenging for opponents. The rubber also allows players to change the pace and rhythm of rallies, making it suitable for varied playing styles close to the table.
Available in these sponge thicknesses — 1.5 mm and 1.9 mm — the Hipster allows players to adjust their setup according to their preferred balance of control and attacking performance. Thinner sponge options emphasize disruptive defensive play, while thicker options offer more scope for active attacking strokes.
The Sauer & Tröger Hipster is an excellent choice for versatile material players who want to switch seamlessly between defence and attack without committing to a single playing style.
