Andro Novacell OFF

Last 3 months tested about 10 different blades. Felt very comfortable with Novacell OFF. But took some tests finding the right rubber for. Best package for me was Hexer Powergrip max on BH and Fastarc G-1 on FH. Sensational was BH in blocking, chopping and topspin quality. Understand now that even some Pros use the same blade and rubber. In training, I could beat some better players (>1600 points german level). Will play Novacell next League season and give some additional feedback.

Update: 3 Years now play this blade with Hexer Powergrip on BH. FH I changed to long pips Sternenfall this year. Is working well near the table. Sometimes turning the bat for receive or disturbing the game. Sternenfall needs very active play.

Mine weighs 84 grams and I paired it with R47 and R42 rubbers. Control is great and I can feel any movement of the ball! This blade’s balance is in the head. The only negative is that the handle is short and thin for my hand.

The Novacell-Cell table tennis blade is suitable for beginners. It offers a solid base but may not be the best choice for advanced players. The blade has a bluish-blue color that may be appealing to some users. However, the lack of pigeonholes or other special features may limit its versatility and appeal to more experienced players. Beginners may find it slightly challenging to adjust to the blade, but with practice, they can develop good skills and techniques.

This is a great blade from Andro. I am generally demanding on the blades, and after many tests, I never changed my Waldner Senso v2.

I changed my Waldner Senso v2 for this blade. There are some vibrations that are different from the Waldner but that are not unpleasant at all.

It is a blade with a lot of control. I constantly feel the ball, no matter the situation, in topspin or block. I found myself making returns on shots where I would have made a fault before.

The blade is quite flexible in blocking, pushing, etc., and becomes more direct when you switch to topspin, which gives a very good return of the ball in topspin.

The only criticism that can be made is that it is not a little harder/more powerful in topspin, but I have a very light copy at 77 grams, which may explain this lack.

Excellent Value for the Money!

This blade offers exceptional value for its price. It provides a good balance between speed and control, making it suitable for players of all levels. The blade is well-constructed and durable, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of regular play.

For those seeking a slight adjustment in its performance, minor modifications can be made to the blade’s surface or handle. This customization allows players to tailor the blade to their specific playing style and preferences.

Overall, this blade is a remarkable choice for players seeking a high-quality and affordable option. It combines excellent performance with durability and the versatility to adapt to different playing styles.
