GLADIATOR is a good match for players seeking a rigid composition with pimple-out or anti-spin rubbers. The hard outer plies, especially the Titanium material placed underneath, guarantee a low throw angle and highest efficacy.
The spin reversal while blocking with friction-less anti-spin and the wobbling effect obtained when playing with long pimples are excellent. At the same time, all classic attacking shots, such as looping (topspin) and hitting, are easy to perform with inverted rubbers or offensive short pips. This All/All+ blade offers reasonable control despite its rigid plywood composition.
