Andro Hexer Duro

Rubber Classification: Tensor

The Hexer Duro is a well-balanced, all-around offensive tensor rubber designed for versatility. It is characterized by high levels of control, making it suitable for both beginner and intermediate players looking to improve their technique, as well as club-level players seeking a reliable, stable performance. The rubber offers a notable dwell time and produces a distinct sound when executing high-quality, powerful strokes.

Performance Characteristics

• Spin and Speed: This rubber is capable of generating significant spin, particularly on serves, loops, and pushes. While it is not classified as an ultra-high-speed rubber, it provides sufficient power for effective attacking shots, loops, and power-looping from both close and mid-distance.
• Control and Feel: The rubber features a relatively high throw angle, which aids in looping and topspin play but requires careful adjustment when returning serves. It is noted for being less sensitive to incoming spin, which enhances stability during blocking.
• Sponge and Construction: There is varying user feedback regarding the sponge, with some describing it as soft and others as medium-to-medium-hard. The top sheet is engineered for durability, and the rubber exhibits a consistent, balanced feel that many users compare to classic all-around rubbers, though with updated tensor properties.

Note: Some users have reported challenges with the adhesion process when using standard water-based glues, occasionally requiring specific glue types to ensure a proper bond to the blade.
