Andro Hexer HD stands out with a modern construction that emphasizes precision, spin, and energy transfer to meet the complexity of modern table tennis:
• Medium-hard sponge (47°): Built with 4th generation TENSOR BIOS technology, the sponge is medium-hard (medium+, around 45–50° on the ESN scale), delivering a powerful “catapult” effect and efficient energy transfer. Its innovative structure with dense pores allows maximum conversion of stroke energy into speed and spin while maintaining long ball contact. Compared to Andro Rasanter R47 (47°), Hexer HD is slightly softer, offering more control and feel while maintaining high speed.
• Grip-enhancing topsheet: Made from 100% natural rubber, the topsheet is highly grippy (semi-tacky) with high definition microstructure, extending ball contact and increasing spin and accuracy. The topsheet is durable, wear-resistant, and optimized for plastic balls. Compared to Andro Rasanter V47, Hexer HD’s topsheet is grippier, focused on spin and precision rather than pure speed.
• Pips: The rubber’s pips are narrow, densely packed, with a microstructured texture, designed according to the High Definition Performance principle. Their geometry ensures long ball contact, allowing players to “guide” the ball during the stroke, generate strong spin, and direct trajectory accurately. Compared to Andro Hexer Grip, Hexer HD’s pips are more aggressive, aimed at offensive topspin play rather than all-round use.
• TENSOR BIOS technology: This technology combines the TENSOR catapult effect with BIOS sensitivity, reducing the artificial glued feeling and emphasizing natural touch. Hexer HD’s TENSOR BIOS sponge delivers powerful speed boosts while maintaining precision and forgiveness, ideal for players seeking both power and control. Unlike the Andro Rasanter series, Hexer HD is more balanced and precision-focused.
The rubber is available with a 2.1 mm sponge thickness, balancing speed, spin, and control—suitable for aggressive topspin and counterattacking play. It has a medium weight (~67 g uncut, ~46–48 g cut), comparable to Tibhar Evolution EL-P or Butterfly Tenergy 80. Colors—red and black—comply with ITTF standards.
Andro Hexer HD boasts technical specifications tailored to advanced players who rely on spin, speed, and accurate attacks:
• Speed: 110/100. The rubber is fast, suitable for topspin strokes, flat drives, smashes, and counterattacks. Compared to Andro Rasanter R37 (speed 112/100), Hexer HD is slightly slower but offers more control and precision.
• Spin: 110+/100. The rubber generates very strong spin, especially in looping topspin strokes, serves, and attacks against backspin. Compared to Andro Rasanter V47 (spin 124/100), Hexer HD has slightly less spin, but its microstructured topsheet enables more precise and disruptive trajectories.
• Control: 95/100. High control for an offensive rubber, particularly in topspins, blocks, and short strokes. Compared to Andro GTT 45 (control 97/100), Hexer HD is slightly less controllable but makes up for it with speed and spin.
Trajectory: High and curved, typical of spin-oriented rubbers, facilitating looping topspins and attacks against backspin. The trajectory is accurate, allowing precise ball placement on the table (High Definition Performance). Users highlight the rubber’s “precision” and “disruptive spin,” especially in topspin rallies.
Andro Hexer HD is a medium-hard rubber that pairs well with various blades:
• Andro Novacell OFF: Balances speed and control, ideal for all-round spin strokes.
• Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC: Adds extra speed for topspin strokes while maintaining precision.
• Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive: Enhances spin, especially in looping play.
• DHS Hurricane Long V: Adds power, suitable for fans of hard blades.
The rubber also performs well with all-wood blades like Butterfly Korbel, as the TENSOR BIOS technology and microstructured topsheet compensate for the blade’s elasticity, offering more spin and accuracy. Users recommend using Hexer HD on the forehand side with a 2.1 mm sponge for maximum spin and speed, or on the backhand side for accurate counterattacks. The rubber is optimized for plastic balls, efficiently generating spin and high trajectories.
Andro Hexer HD is intended for players who rely on spin, speed, and precise strokes:
• Advanced players improving their topspin technique, as the rubber allows precise ball handling and disruptive trajectory creation.
• High-level players looking for a rubber that combines powerful offense and control.
• Play at various distances: Looping topspins from mid- to long-distance, fast blocks, and counterattacks close to the table.
• Spin-based offense: Disruptive serves, looping strokes, and counter-looping.
The rubber is highly effective in looping topspins (9.0/10) due to strong spin and precise trajectory. In serves (8.9/10), the microstructured topsheet helps generate disruptive spin, and in counterattacks (8.8/10) the rubber provides speed and stability. When blocking (8.7/10), the medium-hard sponge offers adequate control. Compared to Andro Rasanter R47, Hexer HD is more controllable and spin-focused, suitable for a wider range of offensive styles. Users praise the rubber’s “precision” and “durability,” though they note that it demands solid technique for fast close-to-table play.
Andro Hexer HD stands out as a spin- and precision-oriented offensive rubber:
• Speed (110/100), suitable for topspins, drives, and counterattacks.
• Very strong spin (110+/100), effective in looping and serves.
• High control (95/100), ensuring stability and accuracy.
• TENSOR BIOS sponge: Provides powerful catapult effect and energy transfer.
• Microstructured topsheet: Increases durability and enhances spin.
• German quality: ITTF-approved, crafted with precise Andro craftsmanship.
Compared to Tibhar Evolution EL-P, Hexer HD has similar speed but offers more spin and precision. Compared to Butterfly Tenergy 80, it is more controllable with a longer-lasting topsheet (3–6 months of intensive use). Users
report that the rubber performs consistently throughout its lifespan and note that it maintains its grip even after several weeks of intensive use. The optimized surface ensures constant performance with plastic balls and allows the rubber to retain its spin and control characteristics.
Summary
Andro Hexer HD is a high-performance offensive rubber aimed at players who prioritize spin, precision, and modern offensive techniques. With its medium+ hardness TENSOR BIOS sponge, grippy natural rubber topsheet, and advanced pip structure, this rubber delivers excellent spin potential, controlled speed, and accurate ball placement.
