Easy P

A very slow, highly controlled long-pips rubber designed for beginners, placement and secure passive play.

Easy P is Sauer & Tröger's most control-oriented long-pips model. Its soft compound and compact pimple geometry reduce pace and make service return, passive blocks and placement easier than with more disruptive alternatives. The OX build is the slowest and most direct; the sponge builds damp more and suit play away from the table.

Competition approval is only shown once it has been checked against the current ITTF list of authorised racket coverings. A shop listing on its own is not treated as proof, and an unverified covering is never shown as illegal. No reliable official Sauer & Tröger list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.

TTDNA values are TTDNA's own editorially normalised 0–100 ratings. They are never an official Sauer & Tröger rating and never a conversion of the Sauer & Tröger manufacturer scale. Spin reversal is the returned rotation of the incoming ball. It is stored separately from the TTDNA spin rating, which measures the rubber's own spin production.

  • Very strong pace absorption
  • Excellent beginner suitability
  • Reliable passive blocking

Variants and configurations

3 variants

Colour, thickness and configuration are variants of one model — never separate products. Colour never changes a rating, MAX and OX stay qualitative labels, and OX carries no sponge hardness.

Known users

Defenders, choppers and disruptive blockers who rely on spin reversal rather than their own topspin.

Sauer & Tröger publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
