Andro Treiber FI OFF

Paired the blade with Tenergy 05-FX on both sides. The weight of the blade and rubber is 192 grams.

The speed is there when you need it, and the control is above average. It’s good for blocking and ball placement.

The handle fits nicely in hand, but the bottom of the blade’s edge needed smoothing out because it was kind of sharp and rubbing the top of my hand. Andro needs to put more of a satin finish around the bottom edge of the blade, which would make the blade more comfortable to hold.

Overall, this is a very nice blade to have and fun to play with.

This blade is similar to Timo Boll ZLC but faster. Using Nittaku G1 on the forehand results in amazing spin and speed. I highly recommend it.

I think this blade has an amazing feel. It’s not a slow blade, but it’s also not crazy fast. It has a lot of control and good flex, so spinning with this blade is amazing. Counter looping is out of this world, especially with the C48 on both sides!

After testing a few frames to work with my Long Pips, I realized that I’m not a defender or chopper, but I wanted to attack with it. Therefore, I wanted a faster blade. I already had the Andro Kanter FO, but it was too bouncy.

So I tried a few 5 or 7 ply woods, but nothing felt like a real fit. Until I got this one. With my softer/slower FX-S, it suits me perfectly. I can attack low over the net with spin and loop if needed. It’s also great for slow blocking or fast blocking.

For the Long Pips, I needed to be able to attack with it, not just a fast push but a real hit. It’s perfect for that. I feel that the reversal is a bit lower, but for me, the attack is most important. I had good control and good feel. It was a bit heavier than others I tried, but it didn’t feel heavy, probably because of the balance.

And what’s most amazing is that a few blades didn’t feel right in my hand. They were either too small or too smooth. When I took this one in my hand, it felt very good and fits well.
