Andro Hexer Pips stands out with a modern construction that combines short-pips aggression with advanced TENSOR technology, adapted to modern table tennis with 40+ plastic balls:

 • Soft sponge (40°): Made with 4th‑generation TENSOR technology, the sponge is soft (according to the ESN scale around 37.5–42.5°), providing a gentle “catapult” effect, excellent ball feel, and high control. Soft pores allow stable reactions to the opponent’s hits, offering balanced speed and forgiveness. Compared to Andro Hexer Pips Force (45°), Hexer Pips is softer, offering more control and less aggressive speed, suitable for more versatile play.
 • Grippy topsheet: Made of 100 % natural rubber, the topsheet is grippy (but not tacky), optimized for short-pips rubbers. It ensures durability, wear resistance, and sufficient spin for topspins, serves, and counter-attacks. The topsheet creates disruptive, low trajectories that often force errors from opponents. Compared to Andro Hexer Pips+, Hexer Pips topsheet is slightly less aggressive but offers a more stable feel.
 • Pimples: The short pimples are narrow, densely arranged, and designed under the ECLECTIC PERFORMANCE principle, allowing choice between lengthwise and crosswise geometry. Lengthwise geometry provides more speed and power, suitable for attacking strokes, while crosswise offers more control, especially in blocking and short-play. This unique feature sets Hexer Pips apart from other short-pips rubbers such as TSP Spectol or Nittaku Moristo SP.
 • TENSOR technology: The 4th‑generation TENSOR sponge with a soft structure and natural rubber topsheet absorbs incoming energy and converts it into active outgoing energy, providing speed, spin, and stability. Unlike the Andro Rasanter series, the Hexer Pips TENSOR effect is gentler, focused on control and versatility rather than maximum speed.

The rubber is available in 1.7 mm, 1.9 mm, and 2.1 mm sponge thicknesses: 1.7 mm suits controlled blocks and short-play, 1.9 mm for universal strokes, and 2.1 mm for aggressive flat hits and topspins. The rubber is lightweight (uncut ~60 g, cut ~40–42 g), similar to Butterfly Raystorm or Donic Bluefire JP 03. Colors – red and black – comply with ITTF standards.

Andro Hexer Pips offers technical specifications suited to universal attacking play with short pips:

 • Speed: 99/100. The rubber is fast, suitable for flat hits, quick blocks, and counter-attacks. Compared to Andro Hexer Pips Force (speed 108/100), Hexer Pips is slower but offers more control and forgiveness, appealing to a broader range of players.
 • Spin: 88/100. The rubber generates adequate spin for topspins, serves, and looping strokes against backspin. Compared to Andro Hexer Grip (spin 109/100), spin is lower, but Hexer Pips compensates with a disruptive “HEXER Pips ball jump” effect that creates low, unpredictable trajectories.
 • Control: 83/100. Control level is high for a short-pips rubber, especially in blocking, short-play, and flat hits. Compared to Andro Hexer Pips+ (control ~85/100), Hexer Pips is slightly less forgiving but offers more speed and dynamism.

Trajectory: Low and flat, typical of short-pips rubbers, facilitating fast blocks and flat strokes. The disruptive "HEXER Pips ball jump" effect often forces opponents to net or miss hits. Users highlight the rubber’s “stability” and “versatility,” especially in blocking and counter-attacking.

Andro Hexer Pips is a soft short-pips rubber, pairing well with various blades:

 • Andro Novacell OFF: Balances speed and control, suitable for universal attacking strokes.
 • Butterfly Timo Boll ALC: Adds extra speed to flat hits and counter-attacks.
 • Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon: Boosts power potential, especially for aggressive strokes.
 • DHS Hurricane Long V: Adds stability, suitable for fans of hard blades.

The rubber is also suitable for medium-hard blades like Butterfly Korbel, as the TENSOR sponge and ECLECTIC PERFORMANCE geometry compensate for blade flexibility. Users recommend using Hexer Pips on the forehand side with a 2.1 mm sponge for maximum speed, or on the backhand side with 1.7 mm or 1.9 mm for more control in blocking. The rubber is optimized for plastic balls, as the topsheet effectively generates disruptive trajectories.

Andro Hexer Pips is designed for attacking players using short pips and emphasizing speed, disruption, and versatility:

 • Advanced players familiar with short-pips technique, as the rubber offers flexibility and adaptability through ECLECTIC PERFORMANCE geometry.
 • Mid-level players transitioning to short pips, seeking speed and control.
 • Near-the-table play: Quick blocks, flat hits, flicks, counter-attacks.
 • Short rallies: Disruptive topspins and fast counter-attacks.

The rubber is effective in blocking (8.7/10) due to its soft sponge and stable construction, generating a “sinking-ball” feel. In serves (8.5/10), the rubber allows generating sufficient spin, while attacking against backspin (8.4/10) helps to lift the ball with a topspin stroke. Compared to Andro Hexer Pips+, Hexer Pips is faster and more versatile but less forgiving to errors. Users praise the rubber’s “flexibility” and the “ECLECTIC PERFORMANCE” choice, but note it requires technique in passive situations.

Andro Hexer Pips stands out as a universal short‑pips rubber:

 • Speed (99/100), suitable for flat hits and blocks.
 • Spin (88/100), enabling topspins and disruptive trajectories.
 • Control (83/100), ensuring stability in fast play.
 • TENSOR technology: Provides a gentle “catapult” effect and disruptive bounce.
 • ECLECTIC PERFORMANCE: Allows adaptation of the rubber to playing style (lengthwise – speed, crosswise – control).
 • German quality: ITTF approved, manufactured with precise Andro craftsmanship.

Compared to Nittaku Moristo SP, Hexer Pips is softer and more versatile, with a unique geometry choice. Compared to Butterfly Raystorm, it offers more control and disruption, but is less aggressive. Users emphasize the rubber’s “stability” and “disruptive effect,” enabling easy rally control.

Andro Hexer Pips is ITTF approved and suitable for mid- to high-level competitions, especially for players using short pips. Its speed and disruptive properties pressure opponents in fast rallies, especially in blocking and counter-attacking. The natural rubber topsheet adds spin in serves, while the soft sponge ensures stability in reactive situations. The rubber is a popular choice among players seeking versatility and disruption, especially on the backhand, and has proven its effectiveness in international tournaments.

Andro Hexer Pips – a universal and disruption‑focused short‑pips rubber designed for aggressive near‑table play. 100 % natural rubber topsheet, soft TENSOR sponge, and ECLECTIC PERFORMANCE geometry ensure speed, spin, and control. Perfect for players seeking quick blocks, flat hits, and counter‑attacks while adapting the rubber to their playing style. Hexer Pips – versatility, disruption, and German craftsmanship!
