Andro Hexer Powergrip – High-Class Offensive Table Tennis Rubber
Andro Hexer Powergrip is a high-end offensive table tennis rubber designed for players seeking maximum spin, power, and precision in the modern topspin game. With a 47.5° sponge, 100% natural rubber topsheet, and an advanced construction optimized for 40+ plastic balls, Hexer Powergrip delivers a dynamic “catapult” effect, exceptional spin, and consistency. Made in Germany and ITTF-approved, this rubber is an ideal choice for advanced and high-level players who want to dominate with powerful topspin shots close to the table or from mid-distance.

Andro Hexer Powergrip stands out with advanced engineering designed to compensate for the reduced spin and speed of plastic balls:

• 47.5° Hard Sponge: A hard sponge (hard-, close to 45–48° on the ESN scale) made with large pores creates a strong catapult effect, enhancing speed and power. The large pores ensure elasticity and dynamic energy transfer, especially for various strokes – from fast topspins to flat drives. Compared to the Andro Rasanter R47 (47°), the Hexer Powergrip sponge feels slightly softer due to pore structure, offering longer ball contact and greater spin.

• Grippy Topsheet: Made from 100% natural rubber, the topsheet is highly grippy (not tacky) and optimized for plastic balls. It allows players to generate maximum spin on topspins, serves, and counterattacks, creating "magical" trajectories. Compared to Andro Rasanter C47 (semi-tacky), Hexer Powergrip is less sticky but offers a more natural feel and longer durability. Users note that grip remains even after heavy use, though the surface can be prone to mechanical damage.

• Pimples (Pips) Structure: The rubber features medium-width, densely packed inward pimples designed for maximum spin and power. Their structure ensures a clear ball feeling and optimal contact, allowing precise trajectory control. Compared to the Rasanter R series, the Hexer Powergrip pimples are more spin-focused than speed-focused, making it suitable for looping.

• Component Synergy: The sponge and topsheet components are finely tuned for consistency and precision in all playing situations. The rubber features a medium-high trajectory that opens up more during powerful strokes, requiring proper technique for strong blocks or counterloops.

• Sponge Thickness Options: 1.9 mm, 2.1 mm

• 1.9 mm is suited for fast play close to the table.

• 2.1 mm offers versatile stroke performance.

Andro Hexer Powergrip features well-balanced technical specs tailored for aggressive offensive play:

• Speed: 114/100 (~8.8/10): A fast rubber, suitable for topspins, drives, and smashes. Compared to Rasanter R47 (119/100), Hexer Powergrip is slightly slower but offers more spin and longer contact. Speed is close to Tibhar Evolution MX-P (~8.9/10), but Hexer Powergrip has a softer touch.

• Spin: 121/100 (~9.4/10): Generates strong spin, especially on looping topspins, serves, and attacks against backspin. The natural rubber topsheet enables "magical" trajectories effective in long rallies. While slightly less spin than Rasanter C45 (135/100), it's offset by a more natural feel and longer durability. Users praise the spin for making it difficult for opponents to respond to opening loops.

• Control: 91/100 (~8.7/10): Sufficient control for an offensive rubber, especially for topspins and blocks. However, short game (pushes, flicks) requires technique due to sponge hardness. Compared to Rasanter R45 (97/100), Hexer Powergrip has less control but more power. Users note that sponge forgiveness helps reduce minor stroke inaccuracies.

• Trajectory: Medium-high with potential to open higher on stronger strokes. More flexible than Rasanter R50 but lower than Rasanter C45, suitable for various stroke styles. Users highlight the rubber’s “consistency” and “precision,” especially on backhand loops.

Hexer Powergrip pairs best with stiff or medium-hard blades:
• Andro Novacell OFF: Offers stability and spin – ideal for the backhand side.
• Butterfly Timo Boll ALC: Enhances power potential – suitable for forehand.
• Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon: Adds speed and spin – great for looping.

It is not recommended for slow or very flexible blades (e.g., Yasaka Sweden Extra), as the speed and hardness may be overwhelming. Users suggest using Hexer Powergrip on the forehand with 2.1 mm or Max sponge and pairing it with a softer rubber (e.g., Andro Hexer Grip 42.5° or Rasanter R42) on the backhand for easier control in short play.

Hexer Powergrip is designed for offensive players emphasizing spin and power:
• Advanced players with strong technique, as the hardness (47.5°) and speed demand precise strokes.
• Professionals who dominate with powerful topspins, especially on the forehand.
• Close-to-table play: fast topspins, drives, smashes.
• Mid-distance: looping and counterattacks.

The rubber is highly effective for serves (9.4/10) due to high spin, but requires active technique for blocks (8.7/10) because of hardness. Against backspin (9.5/10), it excels with natural rubber topsheet and catapult effect. Compared to Andro Rasanter R47, Hexer Powergrip is slightly slower but offers more spin and a natural touch. Users praise its “magical spin” and stability but note the topsheet may wear quickly with intense use.

Hexer Powergrip stands out as a spin-oriented offensive rubber:
• High spin (121/100) and speed (114/100) for topspin play.
• Natural rubber topsheet: Optimized for plastic balls, creating “magical” trajectories.
• Large-pore sponge: Provides catapult effect and power.
• German quality: ITTF-approved, crafted with Andro precision.
