Andro Temper Tech ALL+

Blade description:

The Andro Temper Tech ALL+ is a superb all-round table tennis blade designed for players seeking a unique blend of control and feel. Crafted with a Hinoki outer layer, this wooden blade exhibits beautiful grains and has a captivating natural wood scent that adds to its charm. Weighing in at a lightweight 70 grams and with a thickness of 6.2 mm, it allows for swift strokes and easy maneuverability, making it a great choice for both defensive and offensive playstyles.

The blade’s stiffness is rated at 6.3, providing medium rigidity that offers excellent ball feedback without excessive vibrations. Players report a high level of control—rated at an impressive 97—enabling precise shot placement and tactical maneuvering. The Temper Tech ALL+ excels in executing various strokes, from controlled loops to aggressive topspin shots, and it is particularly praised for its ability to create spin even with mistimed hits. As an All+ style blade, it combines enough speed—rated at 87—with a forgiving touch, making it perfect for players transitioning from premade to custom setups.

Alternatives to the Andro Temper Tech ALL+ may include blades such as the Donic WSC or the Joola Rosskopf Emotion, both of which offer distinct playing characteristics but may lack the unique ball feel and control attributed to the Temper Tech. Overall, the Andro Temper Tech ALL+ stands out as an ideal choice for players who prioritize tactical precision, a well-rounded game, and a quality wooden feel in their equipment. It’s a fantastic option whether you’re looking to emphasize control in your shots or simply enjoy the tactile experience of a well-crafted blade.

The Andro brand is known for its high-quality work, and this blade is no exception. Despite having a hinoki top layer, it is a bit hard, but it offers excellent control and precision in playing. It has a good all+ speed, but this can only be achieved with a hard sponge. Unfortunately, this blade is no longer in production. I highly recommend it to all-round players. You may need to adjust your playing style slightly to get the most out of this blade.

I bought this blade some years ago because it was the prettiest blade on the shelf of our local dealer. After some weeks of playing, I put it aside because of its high bounce effect, especially when blocking. I played it with Xiom Vega 2.0 red and 1.8 black.

Now, after changing to a poly ball in our club, I gave it another try with renewed (but the same) toppings. The high bounce issue has now been dissolved. Spin is pretty good (compared to my Adidas Fiber Tec Classic Carbon blade), control is very good, and speed is sufficient to finish the point.

Wow! I have found my soul blade and will not switch until I quit playing or die! It has a fantastic wood feeling and control. I use it with Firestorm 1.8 in backhand and Rasanter R47 2.0 in forehand. It provides perfect control in every stroke, but it is also fast enough to kill. The blade has been discontinued, so I bought a few for future use. Highly recommended!
