Blade description

The Andro Synteliac VCI is an innerlayer composite blade characterized by a soft, crispy feel rather than a mushy one. It features a 5+2 construction, utilizing Volteema carbon—a soft, 45-degree carbon weave—which provides a lively, fluid response. The blade is designed for stability and offers a distinct, sharp impact sensation, balancing speed with a high level of control during both offensive loops and defensive blocks.

Playing Characteristics

  • Feel and Responsiveness: The blade provides a crisp, clear feedback in the palm. It offers a gear-dependent performance where it remains manageable on slow, delicate shots while becoming more aggressive and fast during high-impact strokes.
  • Construction and Stiffness: The innerlayer configuration results in less overall flex compared to some traditional butterfly-style ALC blades, leading to a more direct and stable contact point.
  • Weight and Balance: Users report a generally balanced weight distribution, typically falling within the 85-gram to 95-gram range, which contributes to its stability during rallies.
  • Throw Angle: The blade produces a high throw, making it effective for driving the ball and executing blocks.
  • Rubber Pairing: Due to the blade’s specific feel, it performs particularly well when paired with hybrid, sticky, or harder rubbers, which complement its soft yet lively character. It is noted as a strong alternative for players seeking an innerlayer experience with a more distinct and spirited sensation.

Amazing Control, Perfect Weight, and Excellent Linear Response!

I paired this blade with Nittaku Fastarc G-1, and the control is absolutely outstanding!

I switched from a 91g Butterfly Harimoto Super ALC, and surprisingly, the feeling is almost 100% identical to my previous blade, but with 6 grams less weight!

Those 6 grams make a huge difference. The blade feels much more agile and maneuverable, allowing me to control my swing with far greater precision. With my previous 91g blade, the weight sometimes made it difficult to control the momentum of my swing, especially when trying to slow down or stop the racket during a stroke.

What I love most is its excellent gearing and incredibly linear response. The power output feels very predictable and proportional to the effort I put into each shot. Soft touches remain controlled, while powerful strokes deliver exactly the speed I expect. It gives me so much confidence and makes every rally incredibly enjoyable!

This blade is absolutely fantastic! I’ve spent a small fortune trying different blades to find the perfect one for my playing style, and I think I’ve finally found it. My wallet has definitely suffered along the way, but this one was worth it!
