GLADIATOR: Maximum effectiveness for blocking close to the table
This blade has been
developed for use with rubbers such as Anti-Spin, long pimples and
short
pimples.
It has a normal size and a
special plywood composition without balsa.
GLADIATOR offers a very good
control and produces a maximum of disruptive effect while blocking
close to
the table.
Above all it enables you to
block the ball very short and low over the net. Even powerful topspin
shots can be returned short very easily, the ball bouncing very low on
the other side of the table.
Also you can return fast
services very easily with Anti-Spin or long pimples in order to
deceive your opponent’s third ball attack.
GLADIATOR offers therefore an
ideal symbiosis of Anti-Spin and the blade.
At the same time the ball can
be accelerated dynamically through counter-attacking, topspin and
hitting, both with reversed rubbers and offensive pimples.
The blade also enhances the
disruptive effect of short and half-long pimpled rubbers.
GLADIATOR is a breakthrough
for use with our Anti-Spin rubbers close to the table.
