Andro Hexer

Rubber description:

Andro Hexer is a versatile and performance-oriented table tennis rubber designed for players seeking a balance of speed, spin, and control. With a rated speed of 107 and a spin rating of 109, Hexer stands out as a high-performance rubber that caters to aggressive and all-round styles of play. Its lower tackiness score of 2.4 ensures that while it provides excellent grip, it does not confine players to a specific stroke technique, making it suitable for varied gameplay.

Weighing in at a moderate 5.3, Hexer maintains a comfortable feel on the paddle while not compromising on power during strokes. The durability rating of 7.6 indicates that this rubber can withstand heavy play, though some users have reported edge wear occurring relatively quickly. The soft sponge hardness of 6 enhances dwell time, allowing for greater ball control and a superior touch on delicate strokes such as serves and pushes. Players appreciate the rubber’s ability to generate spin without excessive force, which is particularly beneficial for developing a versatile attacking strategy.

As for alternatives, while Tenergy rubbers are often the standard for comparison, Hexer offers a competitive edge, particularly in terms of price and control. It serves well as a replacement for players accustomed to lightweight tensors like Donic’s Barracuda or the Butterfly G2 and G3 series, allowing for a comfortable transition while still providing top-notch performance. Overall, Andro Hexer is an exceptional choice for players looking for a reliable rubber that can elevate their game, irrespective of whether they are intermediate or advanced competitors.

I got this rubber in Red 1.9 mm for my forehand. It took me 2 weeks to adjust and for the rubber to break in, but it offered easier control than Tenergy 05.

Looping was very effective. Loops don’t have the catapult effect, but you gain in control like no other rubber without losing on speed.

Serves have just gone to another level with loads of spin.

My backhand has 2.1 black Tenergy 64. The difference I find is that Tenergy 64 is a bit softer.

Overall, it’s a very decent rubber to have. It has improved my game a lot.

I used this rubber for about 3 years and I love it.

I can produce very spiny serves and top spins (not as spiny as Hurricane 3 neo). It has good control and a nice speed.

I’m not a professional player, but I recommend this rubber.

#3 — August 2017

I’ve been playing with this rubber for around 3 months on my forehand. It’s okay.

First of all, the edges broke almost straight away. I have difficulty generating good spin on serves. However, my topspins are very spiny and powerful. When looping away from the table, it performs very well. But sometimes, it just bounces the complete wrong way. This also happens when flat hitting or spinning up backspin.

I think you should give this rubber a chance because it’s pretty good. But I doubt it will be sufficient for any serious, top-level player.
