Andro GTT 45 stands out with a construction that emphasizes control, versatility, and spin, tailored for modern table tennis with 40+ plastic balls:

• Medium-hard sponge (45°): Manufactured with 4th generation TENSOR technology, the sponge is medium-hard (medium, approximately 42.5–47.5° on the ESN scale), offering a balanced “catapult” effect and ball feeling. Its medium-sized pores provide stability, prolonged ball contact, and a high tolerance threshold, allowing forgiveness for slight stroke inaccuracies. Compared to the Andro GTT 40 (40°), the GTT 45 is harder, offering more speed and dynamics while maintaining a high level of control.
• Grippy topsheet: Made from 100% natural rubber, the modern topsheet is highly grippy (not tacky), designed for various spin strokes. It enables the generation of strong spin in topspin rallies, serves, and counterattacks, creating high and variable trajectories that enhance player confidence. Compared to the Andro GOOD, the GTT 45 has a more modern topsheet, offering greater spin potential and better grip with plastic balls.
• Pimple geometry: The rubber's pimples are medium-width, densely packed, optimized for spin play and versatility. Their geometry ensures clear stroke feedback, stability, and optimal ball contact, enabling precise control of trajectory and spin. Compared to Andro Hexer Duro, GTT 45’s pimples are less aggressive, geared toward control and technical development rather than maximum speed.
• Tuned TENSOR effect: Andro GTT 45 uses a finely tuned TENSOR technology that provides a balanced impulse of speed and spin while maintaining high control. Unlike more aggressive TENSOR rubbers such as Andro Rasanter, the GTT 45 emphasizes ball feeling and forgiveness, making it suitable for beginners, youth players, and all-round variable players looking for an easy-to-handle rubber.

The rubber is available in 1.6 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, and Max (2.3 mm) sponge thicknesses:
1.6 mm and 1.8 mm are ideal for maximum control and learning technique; 2.0 mm suits all-round play, while Max is better for more aggressive topspins. The rubber is lightweight (uncut ~62 g, cut ~42–44 g), comparable to Tibhar Evolution FX-S or Donic Baracuda Big Slam. Colors – red, black, blue, and pink – comply with ITTF standards and offer aesthetic variety.

Andro GTT 45 features technical parameters tailored for beginners, youth players, and all-round variable players:

• Speed: 94/100. The rubber offers moderate speed, suitable for topspin strokes, drives, and short strokes (flicks, pushes). Compared to Andro GTT 40 (speed 96/100), GTT 45 is slightly slower, but the firmer sponge delivers more dynamics and versatility.
• Spin: 105/100. The rubber generates strong spin, especially in looping topspins, serves, and attacking against backspin. Compared to Andro Hexer Grip SFX (spin 121/100), the spin is lower but offset by higher control and easier handling.
• Control: 97/100. Control level is extremely high, especially for blocking, short play, and slow topspins. Compared to Andro GOOD (control 92/100), GTT 45 offers higher control and a more modern TENSOR feel.

Trajectory: High, facilitating topspin strokes and attacks against backspin. The trajectory is similar to Andro GTT 40 but GTT 45 offers a slightly straighter and more versatile arc, well-suited for variable strokes. Users highlight the rubber’s “forgiveness” and “confidence-building feel,” especially during technical learning.

Andro GTT 45 is a medium-hard rubber, making it compatible with a variety of blades:

• Andro Novacell ALL/S: Balances speed and control, suitable for beginners and youth players.
• Butterfly Primorac OFF-: Adds extra speed for topspins while maintaining control.
• Yasaka Sweden Extra: Enhances spin, especially in looping play.
• DHS Hurricane 301: Adds stability, suitable for players who prefer wooden blades.

The rubber also pairs well with harder blades like Butterfly Korbel, as the medium sponge and tuned TENSOR effect compensate for blade stiffness. Users recommend using GTT 45 on both sides (forehand and backhand) with 1.6 mm or 1.8 mm sponge for beginners, or 2.0 mm / Max sponge for all-round variable players seeking more speed. The rubber is optimized for plastic balls, with the topsheet effectively generating spin and control.

Andro GTT 45 is designed for players emphasizing control, versatility, and comfort:

• For beginners aiming to improve technique, as the high control and forgiveness facilitate stroke learning.
• For youth players taking their first steps in table tennis, due to its easy handling and modern TENSOR technology.
• For intermediate players seeking a versatile rubber for variable strokes.
• For experienced all-round players wanting an easy-to-handle rubber with spin potential.
• For close-to-the-table play: Flicks, pushes, blocks, slow topspins.
• For mid-distance play: Looping topspins and controlled counterattacks.

The rubber performs effectively in serves (8.7/10) thanks to its strong spin, and in blocking (9.2/10) offers stability and precision. When attacking against backspin (8.8/10), it easily lifts the ball with a high trajectory. Compared to Andro GTT 40, GTT 45 is harder, more versatile, and suitable for a wider range of strokes. Users praise the rubber’s “comfort” and “confidence-inspiring feel,” though note it may be too slow for aggressive play far from the table.

Andro GTT 45 stands out as a control- and versatility-oriented rubber:

• Slower speed (94/100), suitable for learning technique and variable strokes.
• Strong spin (105/100), effective in looping and serves.
• Extremely high control (97/100), ensuring stability and forgiveness.
• Medium-hard TENSOR sponge: Provides a balanced catapult effect and feel.
• German quality: ITTF approved, manufactured with precise Andro craftsmanship.
