Andro Novacell OFF/S

What a beautiful little thing, and I mean it literally, since this is the smallest blade I’ve owned. Control estimation seems to be 9.2 right now, but in my opinion, it’s not worse than my Koki Niwa Wood’s 9.7. Niwa is just better when you play far from the table. I have two of these (both 78 grams). One with Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX 2.1 mm on both sides. SFX is way too soft and slow, though the blade is rather stiff. Use at least 47.5-degree rubbers. The other one has Fastarc G-1 Max (2.2 mm). Novacell OFF/S shows its best sides when you play close to the table. I have only tested a few carbon blades in my life and not a single balsa, 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 hand. OFF/S is also ideal for women and children because of the light weight and small handle.

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

Light blade with decent speed and a huge amount of control. Paired it with Rakza 7 Soft 1.8 on BH and Fastarc G-1 2.0 on FH. Good combo for a close-to-the-table game with many pushes, a short game, and medium-power topspins.

Second time buying this blade as the first one had splinters while changing rubbers; it wasn’t sealed. I like this blade… lots of feeling, 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 light weight (78 grams), nice handle, not slippery nor rough.

The blade has a great feeling, it is slightly flexible and on the hard side, so I am enjoying both looping and blocks.

I am using Fastarc G1 FH and S1 BH.

You can’t go wrong with this blade in both speed and control if you have a well-established technique.

I advise lacquering as it splinters when regluing.

Highly recommended blade. I used carbon blades, including Viscaria, and other 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, much faster than Yasaka Sweden Extra, has a nice feel.

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.

The Andro Novacell, the weight, and feel is so good for close-to-the-table attack. I really like this racket.

If you are in search of a light, fast, medium-crisp, thin, and flexible blade, you must check this one. If you don’t like blades with some vibrations, you probably don’t need this one. If you need a blade that easily spins the ball, this could be the one. I have three of those, all between 76-81g.

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.
