Andro K9 Turbo

The Andro K9 Turbo table tennis rubber is a specialized model developed for Korean players at the request of TTATOZ.com, Andro’s Korean distributor. This rubber is designed to meet the preferences of skilled Korean players who favor a harder feel, reminiscent of the glued Sriver with a hard sponge that was popular among them. The K9 Turbo combines the top sheet of the K9 with the green sponge of the Rasant series, offering a superior click feeling compared to the original K9.

Both the K9 and K9 Turbo are new-generation tension rubbers with stiffer top sheets than ordinary rubbers, featuring identical top sheets but different sponge colors—yellow for K9 and green for K9 Turbo. These rubbers are equipped with a new-generation tension sponge, featuring visibly large pores and a density of 48-50° in the German standard, equivalent to 37-38° in the Butterfly standard. The pimple geometry is similar to Tenergy 05, with densely arranged cylindrical pimples, allowing a maximum sponge thickness of 2.1mm. The area density of the K9 Turbo with a 2.1mm sponge is around 0.25g/㎠, resulting in a rubber weight of approximately 50g, excluding glue weight.

The K9 Turbo is recommended for players seeking a better balance between power and versatility, with a stronger click feeling and more catapult effect compared to the original K9. It is particularly suited for players who emphasize the power of topspin. In contrast, the K9 is ideal for players who prefer an exciting hitting feeling and primarily play close to the table, focusing on blocks and smashes. Both rubbers are distinguished by their unique feel, offering exciting hitting sensations with hard top sheets, making them ideal choices for advanced players looking for specific performance characteristics in their game.
