Andro Novacell OFF/S

Good blade for players who want a lighter setup with good speed, power, and control. Looping and blocking are good. I use Andro R42 max on the forehand and Xiom Vega X max on the backhand.

Nice looking blade that offers good speed with control. Quality craftsmanship and well designed.

With a rigid and fast base, this blade is designed for attacking players who rely on power and precision.

What a fantastic blade! This very lightweight wood is perfect for those looking for control, without sacrificing power. It’s especially good for smashing, and pairs well with cheap Yinhe moon pro rubbers.

What a beautiful little thing! I mean it literally, since this is the smallest blade I’ve ever owned.

The control rating is estimated to be 9.2 right now, but in my opinion, it’s not worse than my Koki Niwa Wood’s 9.7. The Niwa is simply better when you play far from the table.

I have two of these blades, both weighing 78 grams. One is equipped with Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX 2.1 mm on both sides. The SFX is way too soft and slow, even though the blade is rather stiff. Use at least 47.5-degree rubbers.

The other blade has Fastarc G-1 Max (2.2 mm). The Novacell OFF/S shows its best qualities when you play close to the table. I have only tested a few carbon blades in my life and not a single balsa blade, but so far, this Novacell/G-1 combination is best for my slow reflexes. You don’t have to have perfect technique with semi-hard rubbers. I win most of my points hitting with only my hand.

The OFF/S is also ideal for women and children because of its light weight and small handle.

Light blade, but I don’t have a good feeling with it.

Light blade with decent speed and a huge amount of control.

I paired it with Rakza 7 Soft 1.8 on the backhand and Fastarc G1 2.0 on the forehand. This is a good combo for close-to-the-table play with many pushes, short game, and medium-power topspins.

This is the second time I’ve purchased this blade. The first one had splinters when I was changing rubbers because it wasn’t sealed.

I like this blade a lot. It provides great feeling, is all wood, fast, and lightweight.

Sealing is crucial for this blade, but don’t overdo it.

I have been using this 5-ply wood for the last 2 months. It is lightweight, at 78 grams, with a nice handle that is neither slippery nor rough.

The blade has a great feeling; it is slightly flexible but also on the harder side, so I am enjoying both looping and blocking. I am using Fastarc G1 on the forehand and S1 on the backhand.

You can’t go wrong with this blade in both speed and control if you have a well-established technique. I advise lacquering it, as it splinters when re-gluing.

Highly recommended blade! I have used carbon blades, including Viscaria, and wood blades, including Stiga Infinity VPS. Actually, none of them satisfied me like this one. I feel like I am playing with my hand!

Excellent blade. It is much faster than the Yasaka Sweden Extra and has a nice feel.

The Andro Novacell has a great weight and feel, making it ideal for close-to-the-table attacking play.

I really like this racket.

If you are looking for a light, fast, medium-crisp, thin, and flexible blade, this is worth considering.

However, if you dislike blades with noticeable vibrations, this might not be the right choice for you.

On the other hand, if you need a blade that can easily generate spin, this could be the one. I own three of these blades, and their weights range from 76 to 81 grams.
