Andro Treiber FO OFF/S

Quite a fast blade. I love the way we can topspin with this. Speeds are good even when blocking. Effortless to play. I played with Xiom Omega 7 Tour i and Stiga DNA Pro M. Superb response. Feeling is less, but I like it. Absolute powerhouse. Played for 3 days. So happy that I wanted to share my views right away.

Tried it with Battle II on FH and Hexer Grip in BH. It produces great speed output. The blade is stiff, but not as hard as I expected. It provides enough control and consistency. This blade is a good choice for intermediate to pro players who need a decent blade for a local tournament.

I don’t usually provide reviews, but after using this blade, I feel compelled to comment. Previously, I used a Timo Boll ALC with Hurricane (FH) and Moristo SP (BH). Inspired by reviews on YouTube (Table Tennis Daily), I decided to build a new bat and test this blade. After trying it today, I was astounded.

Pros: It’s exceptionally fast, making it ideal for close-to-table loops and counterattacks. It maintains notable consistency throughout all my shots, and its affordability is particularly impressive compared to Butterfly’s ALC and ZLC range.

Cons: The blade offers less dwell time, resulting in reduced feel for brushing the ball. This could potentially be attributed to the switch from Hurricane to MX-P rubbers. It’s also less forgiving than the Timo Boll ALC.

Despite the slight decrease in consistency compared to my Timo Boll, the blade’s superior speed and power more than compensate. My training partner struggled to block my loops and counterattacks, which were significantly more effective than when using the Boll.

Overall, Andro’s blade is an excellent choice.

The fastest blade I have ever played with. For me, there was definitely not enough control. The contact time was very short, but powerfully played shots were absolute rockets.

Said to be the improved version of the Treiber Z, some players believe that the original Treiber Z is better. The handle on this version is larger than the Treiber Z, making it not as comfortable. I recommend the Treiber Z over this model.

Paired this blade with Donic Bluestorm Z2 (2.1) on both sides, and the blade performs at the top notch. Control is amazing despite the speed it offers. Blocking comes easy with Z2. The handle is the most comfortable feeling. This weapon offers an all-out attack. It’s a pleasure to play with. 5 stars with an overall 10.

Note: Table Tennis Daily’s Dan and professional player Damien Eloi were right on with the YouTube video of this blade. Check it out.

Comparison to Treiber Z:

* Faster when flat hitting * Shorter dwell time * Bigger handle * Slightly head-heavier

Despite these differences, the transition from Treiber Z is easy due to the similar overall feel.

Just a little slower than Mizutani SZLC, this blade is much easier to control and spin with, and offers a much better ball-hold feeling. With this blade, you have the feeling that you can outspin your opponent, a feat that not many blades can achieve (even a boosted D05). (Better than Mizutani SZLC) It is a high-throw blade! My BH right now is Bryce Highspeed (low throw). This is one of the best blades that I have tried (including SZLC, W968, Hinoki, etc.).
