Andro Hexer HD

Suited for an all-out attacking style of play, this table tennis rubber offers impressive performance. The spin curve is beautiful and easy to execute, making it a great choice for players looking to enhance their attacking game.

I tested the T05 and Andro Hexer HD, and I must say there is not much difference between the two. Both rubbers are equally grippy and provide tremendous spin.

However, one area where the HEXER HD stands out as a clear winner is its dwell time.

This rubber is of top quality. I have been using it on the forehand with a Gewoo Speedster Off+ blade, and they work very well together. I also observed it performing exceptionally on the forehand with a Primorac Off- setup used by a highly ranked club mate.

The service spin generated is high, and it receives with great control. It lifts easily against backspin, and the loops are both penetrating and spinny. Additionally, side spin loops are also very easy to execute. The hitting is crisp and powerful. Overall, this is a great rubber!

I’ve been playing with the Hexer HD on the forehand side of a Donic Waldner Ultra Carbon blade for about a year. The Hexer HD performs well on this blade, especially for dedicated loopers.

This rubber is fast and can generate a great amount of spin on serves and loops when using the right technique. However, it is somewhat insensitive to incoming spin, which means that receiving and blocking require careful attention.

Due to the high throw angle of both the rubber and the blade, smashes can be challenging and need to be directed with a closed racket. On the positive side, the rubber is very durable, although it is a bit on the heavy side.

In conclusion, the Hexer HD is a rubber that offers good control, allowing players to build attacks based on ball placement and execute speedy loops filled with rotation.

I am currently using the Andro Super Core Cell Carbon OFF blade with Hexer HD rubber—2.1 mm on my forehand and 1.9 mm on my backhand. As a competitive player, I have found that the Andro blade and rubbers have helped me win numerous games. However, I have discovered that the Hexer HD rubber is quite fast for an offensive blade. As a beginner still learning and developing my techniques, I realized that I should not be using the Hexer HD at this stage.

Recently, I replaced the Hexer HD on my forehand with Yasaka Mark V 1.8 mm, and I have to say, it was the right decision. With the Mark V, I can execute very good looping and have greater control when smashing on my OFF blade. The Hexer HD was simply too fast for making effective loops.

I will continue to use the Hexer HD 1.9 mm on my backhand for now. Once it wears out, I plan to replace it with Butterfly Sriver EL 1.9 mm. While I still appreciate the qualities of the Hexer HD, it is too fast for my current skill level. Since I am still in the process of honing my techniques, I prefer to use the more traditional Mark V and Sriver EL rubbers on my Andro OFF carbon blade.

Top spin at its finest!

The color appearance of this rubber is a lighter red. Its sponge is porous and medium, indicating its top-notch quality.

I tested this rubber with the TB ZLC blade for forehand strokes. Compared to some European brand rubbers that easily attract moisture, this tensor rubber is a must-try.

Best, best, best, best, best, best, best, best.

I swapped my Yasaka Xtra Soft for this rubber, and I must say it is very great and nice to use. However, it is a bit too strong due to the tensor system. Overall, this rubber is truly outstanding! :D

The rubber is very fast, providing excellent control and spin. It features a different sheet color than other rubbers, specifically red. However, it is quite heavy. When paired with a fast blade, this rubber generates extreme speed.

This rubber is exceptionally fast and incredibly bouncy. However, this high level of speed can make it somewhat challenging to control at times.

While the looping functionality lacks significant spin, smashes and flatter hits generate impressive speed.

Overall, this is a highly advanced rubber. It is not recommended for players who are not yet prepared to handle its characteristics.

I am using the TMB ALC with a combination of FH Andor HD 2.1mm and BH Xiom 4 Pro 2mm.

I really like the Hexer HD; it is a good rubber and makes a great combination. The rubber is amazing!

This rubber features a really innovative technology. The cake sponge design provides increased dwell time and enhanced spin. Additionally, it complements carbon blades exceptionally well.

Spin, sound, and speed are all at a very high level!

Hexer HD is the best combination of speed, spin, accuracy, linearity, and probably durability available.

It is the state-of-the-art rubber as of October 2011. I have played with no fewer than 60 rubbers from Chinese, European, and Japanese brands altogether. I liked Tenergy 05, except for a few issues. I found T05 to be slow in fast strokes and too bouncy in slow strokes. However, Hexer HD cures these problems.

It offers the ultimate combination of speed, spin, adequate bounciness, a good short game, and excellent counterlooping, serving, and blocking capabilities.

I can’t think of anything else I would want in a rubber that I didn’t find in Hexer HD. I hope it remains this way in terms of durability. As for durability, I’m still figuring it out, but at least it looks and feels durable.

Very, very excellent rubber!

A faster Hexer that does not sacrifice its spin potential. This rubber stands strong against T05 competitors. However, it requires solid fundamental techniques to truly unleash its full potential.

I replaced the Gambler Outlaw Lavender Sponge with this rubber on my forehand and the Donic Acuda S1 Turbo on my backhand, all mounted on a Stiga Tube Carbo blade.

This rubber is faster, spinnier, and more controllable than the Gambler Outlaw Lavender Sponge. It features more gears and offers greater consistency. While it is medium in weight and hardness, it is not as heavy or hard as the Acuda S1 Turbo. The entire setup weighs 210 grams, which I find suitable since most of the weight is on the backhand, providing a well-balanced experience.

One of the standout features of this rubber is its versatility; it has tons of gears and produces a satisfying sound when you really hit the ball. Additionally, it is incredibly durable. I’ve accidentally knocked it a few times, but the scuffs came off easily with no visible marks remaining.

I really enjoy playing with Hexer HD; it is a GREAT rubber! Interestingly, the second person to rate it (HHD) seemed to spam the statistics and ratings. However, I could tell how amazing this rubber was right from my first hit with it.
