Andro Hexer+

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.

What a great surprise! The Hexer Plus is a very good rubber. It has lots of speed and spin, and a very good grip. It’s so easy to do backhand flicks with it.

The Hexer+ is a very underrated rubber in the Hexer Series. This rubber can execute backhand spins with ease, consistently maintaining a strong grip during play.

Great rubber. It’s insane for smashing and great for backhand topspins.

This rubber shares similarities with my previous backhand rubber, Joola Express 1, but it’s a toned-down version with slightly less speed and slightly more spin. I have the red 2.1 version. Perhaps due to purchasing it used (2-3 months old), the spin performance has been underwhelming. It works appropriately for opening loops on the backhand, but executing consecutive loops from the backhand corner proves challenging. I frequently find myself switching to my forehand rubber, Tenergy 05, for continuous backhand loop scenarios. Once again, new rubber might perform better. In terms of spin capability, my ideal backhand rubber should match the performance of Yasaka Rakza X or Donic Bluefire JP01. This rubber undeniably falls short in comparison to those two. However, when performing punches, smashes, or power loops, this rubber propels the ball at a remarkable speed. Consequently, you must adapt to this distinctive characteristic. I have. I’ve had this rubber for a year on my backup racket (utilized sporadically for 4-5 months), and its condition remains nearly identical to when I acquired it. This rubber excels in lobbing and fishing, integral aspects of my gameplay. It offers exceptional control in these areas. It performs adequately for chopping as well, though I only resort to it when I’m severely out of position. Fortunately, it has saved me on numerous occasions. In summary, if your backhand play predominantly consists of flat strokes (block/drive/smash) with occasional loops, consider giving this rubber a trial run. It might align well with your playing style.

This is the rubber you must love! It is very fast, but then again, it’s also nice for blocks & chops, and for looping as well?! This is a bit confusing, isn’t it?

The top sheet of the rubber is great for chops, serves, and loops, but if you try smashes and strong hits, the ball goes into the sponge and you will gain incredible speed. I must agree that it can be hard to control during looping; it’s easy to throw the ball off the table, but it’s very nice, fast, and precise during rallies far from the table.

Lifting the ball from the table is a bit hard for me with this rubber, so I have TNRG 05 on the other side. The variations of these two rubbers during a rally are very hard for the opponent, while for me, the throw angle is similar on these rubbers.

One of my favorite rubbers, which can do everything for me, forehand or backhand, topspins and blocks—are all just right. I always have one sheet of Hexer+ MAX on one of my blades!

Great control with the Tieber Z blade.
Low throw angle.
Soft feel.
Worth trying.

This rubber offers amazing flexibility in playing style. With it, you can either attack or sit back and deflect.

Love this rubber! It offers great control and decent speed for brushing strokes. However, be aware that it can feel like a trampoline when the ball digs into the sponge. Nevertheless, it has a lower throw angle compared to the H3 Neo FH on H-WH that I used previously. I find it performs better at mid table.

Setup:

• Forehand: Andro Hexer +
• Backhand: Andro Revofire
• Blade: Andro Temper Off -

Very good balance between speed and spin. Good control on slow pushes close to the table. Speed increases dramatically (non-linear) with harder strokes.

A bit faster and a bit better control compared to Hexer.

The drawback is not durability.

Hexer Duro Review

I received the rubber a few days ago, and it doesn’t feel as hard as the regular Hexer. The sponge has a different texture compared to Tenergy sponge, and this rubber’s pips are not as thin or as close together as the regular Hexer. This may contribute to a softer feel.

This rubber is well-suited for a mix of looping and smashing strokes. It plays slowly when only using the topsheet for looping. However, when the ball digs into the sponge, the speed increases significantly.

The spin produced is somewhere between Barracuda/Hexer and older tensors like Platin/Sinus.
