Material and playing style Schöler played a defensive blade with different rubbers. On the forehand he played a studs-in surface, with which you can play defensive or offensive, on the backhand a surface with pimples out to play defensive with a lot of backspin. He normally played a defensive style, but was able to attack with the forehand and had a very good smash (Schöler-Peitsche).
