Andro Hexer+

Rubber description:

Andro Hexer+ is a versatile table tennis rubber designed for players seeking a balance between speed, spin, and control. This rubber features a medium-soft sponge with a hardness rating of 4.5, which allows for a comfortable touch while still delivering impressive performance. It shines in offensive play, delivering a speed rating of 109 and a spin rating of 108, making it an excellent choice for players who favor aggressive topspin and smash shots.

In terms of tackiness, Hexer+ offers a somewhat lower level at 1.4, which means it doesn’t excessively grip the ball, allowing for faster play and easier execution of powerful strokes. However, this can also make it a bit challenging to generate extreme spin in certain situations, particularly on heavy backspin balls. The rubber’s weight is rated at 3.8, which falls within the medium range, providing a good balance for players who appreciate a manageable racquet feel without compromising on performance.

Durability is another notable aspect of Andro Hexer+, rated at 6.5, which is decent but may not stand up to the rigors of frequent, heavy play as well as some competitors. Players looking for alternatives to Hexer+ might consider options like Yasaka Rakza X or Tenergy 05 for a more pronounced spin, or Joola Express for a different feel. Overall, Hexer+ demonstrates impressive versatility, thriving in a variety of shots—whether it’s blocks, pushes, or smashes—making it a great choice for both offensive strategies and more controlled defensive play.

I found this rubber performs well for blocks, smashes, and pushes only. However, for topspins and loops, I found it lacking in grip compared to Tenergy 05 and Andro R42. This was also the case when using it on Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon and Andro Novacell OFF. As such, I do not recommend it.

Great if you’re looking for a medium-soft sponge and low-medium throw angle rubber that has good speed to it.

The throw angle is very slightly lower than Xiom Vega Europe, making it very slightly firmer but definitely faster, likely due to the slightly heavier sponge. The spin is similar to XVE.

Many users agree that it would be good for blocks, pushes, chops, etc. due to its throw angle. The throw angle is low-ish, hence good for these features. It’s probably not the best for looping heavy backspin, but everything else is acceptable.

In the reviewer’s personal opinion, they preferred the throw angle of regular Hexer but preferred the softer sponge feel and faster speed of Hexer+. They used Hexer+ on the backhand of a Tibhar Stratus PW.
