Andro Bype stands out with its advanced construction tailored for modern table tennis:
-
45° sponge hardness: The medium-hard sponge made with TENSOR technology delivers a strong catapult effect that enhances shot speed and dynamics. The 45° hardness (close to Butterfly Tenergy 05’s 43° on the ESN scale) offers a balance between speed and control, suitable for powerful topspins and precise strokes.
-
Modern, high-grip surface: Bype’s top sheet is engineered for maximum spin, offering high grip (grippy, not tacky). It allows for dangerous topspins, varied spins (looping, sidespin), and accurate shots. Compared to Andro Hexer SFX, the surface is slightly less grippy but faster and more precise.
-
Pimples: The pips beneath the surface are of medium length and density, optimized for speed and spin. Their structure provides a clear impact feel and direct feedback, allowing confident execution of various strokes.
TENSOR technology, characteristic of Andro rubbers, integrates organic material into the rubber’s molecular structure, acting like a “spring” to increase elasticity and speed.
Bype is faster than Andro Hexer Grip (45° sponge, speed 92/100) but still maintains high control (97/100), making it suitable for technical offensive players.
It is available in 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, and UltraMax (2.3 mm) sponge thicknesses, allowing customization for different playing styles.
Andro Bype delivers top-level performance metrics tailored for offensive play:
-
Speed: 102/100 (~12.5/20 on the Butterfly scale). This is a fast rubber, outperforming Butterfly Dignics 64 (13.5/20) and comparable to Andro Rasanter R47 (13.0/20). Ideal for fast topspins, flat drives, and smashes, especially near the table or mid-distance.
-
Spin: 113/100 (~11.8/20). Bype generates strong spin, particularly in looping topspins and serves. While slightly less grippy than Hexer SFX (11.9/20), it enables dangerous topspins and sidespins, suitable for countering strong spin.
-
Control: 97/100 (~9.5/10). High level of control for such a fast rubber, ensuring accuracy in blocking, short strokes (flicks, pushes), and rally management. Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (~8.5/10 control), Bype is more forgiving and easier to handle.
-
Trajectory: Medium-high, making it easier to lift against backspin and providing safety when playing away from the table. The trajectory is more linear than Butterfly Tenergy 05, but more flexible than Xiom Omega VII Pro.
-
Weight: Users note that Bype is “very light” (uncut ~65–68 g, cut ~45–48 g), suitable for fast play and reducing fatigue. It is versatile and suitable for both forehand and backhand, but due to its speed, it demands good blocking technique.
Andro Bype is a harder rubber (45°) and pairs best with the following blades:
-
Butterfly Fan Zhendong ALC or Viscaria: Adds speed and stability, ideal for aggressive topspin play.
-
Andro Treiber CI OFF: Balances speed and control, suitable for all-round offensive play.
-
DHS Hurricane Long 5: Boosts power potential, especially on the forehand side.
Less suitable for very slow blades like Yasaka Sweden Extra, where the speed might become excessive.
Users recommend Bype on the forehand side with a 2.0 mm or UltraMax sponge, and a softer rubber like Bype SFX (40°) or Andro Hexer Grip on the backhand for easier handling of short strokes.
It performs excellently with plastic balls due to its surface being optimized for grip.
Andro Bype is designed for offensive players who emphasize fast topspins, counterattacks, and versatile spin play.
It suits intermediate and advanced players with solid technique, as its high speed (102/100) and hardness demand precise execution. Ideal for:
-
Close-to-the-table play: Fast topspins, flat drives, and smashes.
-
Mid-distance: Looping topspins and counterattacks against spin.
-
Serving and receive: Strong spin (9.5/10) and precision (9/10).
In blocking (8.5/10), the rubber is “automatic” due to its clear feedback, but it requires active technique.
Compared to Andro Rasanter R47, Bype is slightly slower but more controllable, making it better for players seeking balance.
Users praise its versatility, especially in short play (flicks, pushes), and ease of control, though beginners may struggle to harness its full potential.
Andro Bype stands out as a versatile offensive rubber offering:
-
High speed (102/100) and strong spin (113/100) for topspin play
-
Excellent control (97/100) for precision and forgiveness
-
Lightweight: One of the lightest in its class, reducing fatigue
-
German quality: ITTF approved, crafted with precise Andro engineering
Compared to Butterfly Dignics 64, Bype is slower but easier to control and more affordable (~€45–50 vs. ~€90).
Compared to Andro Hexer SFX, it is faster and more precise but slightly less grippy.
Users highlight its durability (2–4 months of intense play) and “catapult” effect, though note its spin is more limited compared to the Rasanter series.
Andro Bype is ITTF-approved and suitable for competition at all levels. Its speed and spin potential allow dominance in rallies, especially with fast topspins and counterattacks. High grip aids in controlling serves (9.5/10) and serve receive, while top-level control ensures blocking stability.
The rubber is a popular choice among advanced players looking for excellent performance at a reasonable price.
Andro Bype – a dynamic offensive rubber combining speed, spin, and control. TENSOR technology, a 45° sponge, and high-grip surface deliver professional-level performance.
An ideal choice for players aiming for aggressive topspin play with reliable control.
