I recently re-embraced the Dark Side (fitting with The Last Jedi coming out this week). I played short pips for nearly 3 years, took a 4 month hiatus, and decided to give inverted rubber another shot. Bad idea... I'm committing to short pips again.

I'm giving some German short pips a try. This is Sauer&Tröger, a German TT company specializing in pips.


HASS (German for "hate") & ZARGUS (Lithuanian for "zeal")

From the manufacturer:

HASS - "Why is your opponent so despondent? That angry look can only be because of another unplayable shot with your S&T Hass! After extensive research S&T have launched Hass, an extremely powerful short pimple with inbuilt speed glue effect. Even with short strokes your shot develops explosive power and rotationBe the game dominator!"

ZARGUS - "S&T Zargus is a wide short pimple providing a consistent balance for both: attacking and passive shotsZargus offers maximum control combined with a high disruptive effect and makes it easy to place the ball preciselyS&T Zargus – excellent for a full range of controlled strokes."



SPONGE - I bought both rubbers in 1.8 mm thickness. Hass' sponge is quite soft with a bright salmon color (pic doesn't do it justice). Zargus' is harder/deader and is golden-yellow.

PIPS - Hass' pips are cylindrical and average width. Zargus' are conical and remind me of 802's pips.

HARDNESS - Hass' sponge and cylindrical pips give a softer, springy feel when bouncing the ball up and down. Zargus' harder sponge combined with sturdy conical pips has a hard, solid feel that almost grips the ball when you bounce it.

WEIGHT - Sadly, I have no gram scale, but Hass is way lighter than Zargus. At the same thickness, the difference uncut is massive. Zargus has denser sponge and thicker pips, so it's not a big surprise. Hass feels featherweight.

I'm excited to review these rubbers over the next few days and post my discoveries!

Looks promising, hardly any player uses short pimples over here.

Any opinion about their long pips?
