Andro Synteliac VCI OFF

This blade is reminiscent of the Innerforce AL, but with a more spectacular feel. The control is excellent, while the speed is adequate. Made in Korea, this blade is likely to gain popularity in the near future.

This is my first composite blade, and I was a bit worried that it would feel too fast compared to the all-wood blades I’ve used. Faster yes, but also with lots of control and much more stable when blocking and looping. Really good response in the palm.

I use it with Rasanter R48 on both sides, which feels very good.

One of the best blades made by Andro, the blade is soft, spinny, and offers great control.

Blade Review

I’ve been using this blade for about a month now, and I’m really impressed with it. It’s a 5-ply blade made of limba, ayous, and carbon. The limba gives it a nice springy feel, while the ayous provides a solid foundation. The carbon adds a bit of stiffness, which gives it more power and control.

Overall, I’m very happy with this blade. It’s well-made, durable, and plays great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality table tennis blade.

Pros:

* Well-made and durable * Good springy feel * Provides a solid foundation * Adds a bit of stiffness for more power and control * Plays great

Cons:

* None

Very soft blade, first gear is slow second gear is fast with a long arc. It’s heavy, 90-95 grams in shop, and the throw is super high. It is not the spinniest looping blade, but it is easy to drive the ball and block.

The difference between Andro Synteliac VCI and Harimoto ALC is that when you want to play slow spinny shots, the Harimoto handle is not working great with the top ply wood layer. I don’t know how to say it, but there is a delayed impulse in the handle or something that makes slow balls hard to spin, so you must push and counter topspin or counter block like the main player Harimoto.

The Synteliac top ply wood is working great with the handle; there is no big flex, and the handle is thick but has no problem putting the spin on the ball. However, the ball won’t be the spinniest if you play with softer rubbers. There is no top grip on the ball. This blade is made for hybrid sticky rubbers or Chinese hard rubbers.

Harimoto is more of a muted medium-soft, all-around blade, which makes you play every shot possible but without any extra super quality feeling. I think this banana shot needs more focus, but I don’t know why. If you want to try a new blade after all wood Primorac/Korbel, choose Harimoto ALC.

Synteliac is more fluid, lively, and soft like Super ZLC material, but it has an ALC crisp feeling. Harimoto is maybe better in the blocking area, which is more defensive than Synteliac. Synteliac is like your Hinoki Jonyer blade on 38mm balls and glue era. Synteliac is soft but more aggressive in terms of a sharp impact. It is not soft and mushy; it is soft and crispy. Volteema is Vectran but not as stiff as Butterfly Vectran because it has 45-degree soft carbon, so for me if you want to try a new blade-> Harimoto ALC, but if you won’t like Butterfly, shouting kids, you want a classy black handle and more vibes with your “new bae,” I would choose Synteliac.
