Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX stands out with its structure emphasizing spin and control, while maintaining sufficient speed for modern offensive play:

• 42.5° Sponge Hardness: Medium-soft (close to 40–43° on ESN scale), made with small pores for high forgiveness and stability across strokes. The fine pores provide a soft touch, extended ball contact, and excellent feedback for precise control. Compared to Andro Hexer Powergrip (47.5°), Powergrip SFX is softer, more controlled, and more feel-oriented, while offering more catapult effect than Hexer Grip SFX (40°).
• Grippy Topsheet: Made of 100% natural rubber, the topsheet is highly grippy (not tacky), optimized for plastic balls. It generates maximum spin on topspins, serves, and counterattacks, creating “magical” trajectories. Compared to Andro Rasanter C45 (semi-tacky), Hexer Powergrip SFX is less sticky but offers a more natural feel and longer durability. Users praise the grip retention even after intense use.
• Pimple Structure: The rubber features medium-width, densely packed inward pimples designed for maximum spin and control. This structure delivers a clear ball feel and optimal ball contact for precise trajectory and spin control. Compared to the Andro Rasanter R series, Hexer Powergrip SFX pimples are more spin- and feel-oriented, making it ideal for looping and variable play.
• SFX Technology: Specially developed to enhance spin and control while maintaining a catapult effect. It ensures a balanced mix of speed, spin, and control, enabling effective handling of plastic balls. The rubber provides an audible impact sound that boosts playing comfort and confidence.

Offered in 1.9 mm and 2.1 mm:
1.9 mm is ideal for close-to-table play and control, while 2.1 mm suits an all-around offensive style. The rubber is lightweight (~65 g uncut, ~45–47 g cut), comparable to Tibhar Evolution FX-S or Donic Bluefire M3. Available in red and black, compliant with ITTF standards.

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

• Speed: 109/100 (~8.5/10 general scale). A medium-speed rubber suitable for topspins, drives, and flicks. Compared to Andro Hexer Powergrip (114/100), Powergrip SFX is slower but offers more control and feel. Speed is comparable to Tibhar Evolution FX-S (~8.6/10) but Powergrip SFX features a stronger catapult effect.
• Spin: 121/100 (~9.4/10). Generates strong spin, especially in looping topspins, serves, and attacks against backspin. The natural rubber topsheet ensures “magical” trajectories during long rallies. Compared to Andro Rasanter R42 (126/100), spin is slightly lower but compensated by easier handling and consistency.
• Control: 95/100 (~9.3/10). High control for an offensive rubber, especially in topspins, blocks, and flicks. Compared to Andro Rasanter V42 (97/100), Powergrip SFX offers slightly less control but more spin and feel. Users praise the rubber’s forgiveness and stability, enabling confident shot execution under pressure.

Trajectory:
High arc, facilitating topspins and attacks against backspin. The arc is more flexible than Hexer Powergrip but not as high as Rasanter C45, making it ideal for variable offense. Players highlight the rubber’s sound and “rotational elasticity,” enhancing playing comfort.

Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX is a medium-soft (42.5°) rubber and pairs well with various blades:

• Andro Novacell OFF: Balances speed and control, suitable for all-round offensive play.
• Butterfly Timo Boll ALC: Adds extra speed for topspin while maintaining control.
• Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon: Boosts spin performance in looping play.
• DHS Hurricane King II: Adds stability, ideal for players preferring all-wood blades.

It also performs well with slower blades like Yasaka Sweden Extra, as the softer sponge and SFX technology compensate for reduced blade speed. Users recommend Powergrip SFX on both forehand and backhand: 2.1 mm for all-around play, Max for forehand to gain extra power. The rubber is optimized for plastic balls, as the topsheet compensates for reduced spin generation.

Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX is designed for variable offensive players emphasizing spin, control, and feel:

• For intermediate players transitioning from slower rubbers (e.g., Andro Hexer Duro), offering spin and speed with a high margin of forgiveness.
• For advanced players seeking stability and feel, especially on the backhand.
• For close-to-table play: Flicks, pushes, blocks, fast topspins.
• For mid-distance play: Looping topspins and counterattacks.

Serve effectiveness: 9.4/10 – Excellent spin generation
Serve receive: High control and spin handling
Blocking: 9.3/10 – “Automatic” stability from the soft sponge
Attacking against backspin: 9.5/10 – Easy lifting with a high arc

Compared to Andro Hexer Powergrip, Powergrip SFX is softer, more controlled, and better suited for players seeking versatility. Users appreciate the “comfortable” feel and “sound” but note it may be too slow for ultra-aggressive shots far from the table.

Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX stands out as a spin- and feel-focused offensive rubber:

• Strong spin (121/100) and balanced speed (109/100), ideal for topspin play
• High control (95/100) ensuring consistency and forgiveness
• Natural rubber topsheet optimized for plastic balls with “magical” trajectories
• SFX technology provides catapult effect and impact sound for enhanced feel
