Andro Super Core Cell ALL+
Blade description:
This all-wood blade is designed for players who prioritize control and spin generation in an all-round game. It features a medium-soft feel and a noticeable amount of flex, which helps generate significant spin on loops and touch shots, especially when paired with medium-hard tensor rubbers. The blade is lightweight and known for having a relatively large sweet spot, maintaining a consistent feeling even on off-center hits.
Performance and Characteristics
- Speed and Distance: Primarily an all-round offensive blade, it performs best at the table and at mid-distance. It does not provide the power necessary for high-level play away from the table, requiring the user to supply their own power for finishing strokes.
- Flex and Vibration: The blade exhibits notable flex, which enhances the dwell time and spin potential. Some users may experience distinct vibration upon impact.
- Feel and Construction: It is an all-wood construction that delivers high-quality feedback. The manufacturer includes edge sealing to protect the blade surface from denting.
- Sound: Users report a loud, distinct knocking sound upon contact.
- Compatibility: The blade performs optimally with medium-hard tensor rubbers. Conversely, it is generally considered too slow and “dead” when paired with harder, traditional Chinese-style rubbers.

This is quite a slow blade with flex and a good feeling when touching the ball. The blade finishing is very good as Andro equips it with an edge seal which protects the blade from denting. I have used it for almost a year and have been very happy until realizing that I need more speed for my play. It is a very good blade for all-round and spin games, but it demands your power for finishing points. If paired with Chinese hard rubber, it feels dead and slow. It will shine if you pair it with medium-hard tensor rubber as it will give additional spin due to its flex.
My rating: — Speed = 7.5 — Control = 8.5 — Stiffness = Some flex — Hardness = Medium soft — Throw angle = High
Updated 5/1/2013: This blade has the same flex as my Yinhe W6, a very good blade for looping but with a more soft feeling. For control, it’s not as good as the W6 even though it’s slower.

Very good ALL+ blade that gives a good feeling even when you don’t hit the ball at the sweet spot (or otherwise said: has a large sweet spot). Combined with Tibhar Genius or other Tensor rubbers, it’s really good for Allround spin attacks. It also feels rather light (80g is correct).
I repeat: a good blade, surely underestimated or not known enough.
My Stiga Tube Allround blade is definitely better, though!

It is a very good blade if you want to produce maximum spin on your shots.
However, I noticed some vibration which I would prefer not to have in a blade that is designed to flex.
Overall, I believe that it is a very comfortable blade if you play close to the table or at mid distance. You can achieve even better results when playing close to the table.
