Andro SuperCore Cell

[Vinnie]

Could I please have your opinions on the Andro SuperCore Cell blades? Thanks.

These blades are made with a Core in the handle, but not just any Core.


The handle’s foam chamber is parted into small cells resulting in a more precise absorption of vibration and creating counter-energy for the next stroke. The 360° veneer edge protection prevents from mechanic influences. The CELL blades with their revolutionary structure are ideally adapted to the change of playing characteristics by the upcoming speed-glue ban.

FEATURES
High rebound effect due to thin outer veneers.
Cell structure in handle for maximum vibration reduction.
Innovative 360°edge protection prolongs durability.
Higher ball flying curve improves hitting area and control.
Fibre structure creates a bette energy transport and excellent ball feedback.
Enlarged sweetspot area provides high mistake tolerance.
Decreased level of wrist fatigue due to lower weight.

I have tried all of them except the Carbon Version.
They are all well balanced, and there speed ratings are pretty good. My favourite is the OFF- version - Not to fast not to Slow.
I would say that the All & All+ would not suit any of the slower chinese rubbers. Probably best suited to German Tensors or any of the faster Butterfly series rubbers.

The OFF-, OFF, Carbon OFF & OFF+ would suit any rubber.
The OFF- & OFF suit the Looping Style & the OFF+ is an excellant blade for those that like to Flat Hit.

I am thinking of getting the OFF-, as I feel I need to slow my game down a bit, using my Donic Opticon RS at the moment, while also gaining more control.

Did you like the control of the OFF-, and would it provide me with enough speed for the smashes that I love to play?

The Off- was my blade of choice. I used it for quite some time. Untill my coach saw how good it was and stole it of me (Joke - I gave it to him).
Its plenty fast for anyone from beginner to advanced.

I'm just wondering whether I could get something as good as it for cheaper though.
Thanks for your input though Rob.

Are there any other blades that you can recommend that would be similar to the OFF-?

[RebornTTEvnglist]

So Rob with all the access you have to blades why didn't you go with another CELL Off- ?

You use a Donic Senso now, is that right?

[Vinnie]

Do you think it's worth it's money Rob?
Or would I be better off with something cheaper?

Actually went back to the Andro Kinetic CF Carbo Aramid - Much faster, and suits my game better for some strange reason (some things are unexplainable).

I did had a long stint with the Supercore Cell Off-, but as stated before my coach stole it off me.

The whole cell range is very affordable - especially compared to some of the blades out their today. The quality is A1.

I'm just wondering, that, at my age, I'd be better off with something in the 20 to 30 dollar range.

Do you have an opinion on the LKT Instinct+?

The LKT Instinct+ is not a very good blade I have to say - I would go the Dawei Navigator WRC Blade, I know its rated as a OFF++ blade, it is very similar to the old stiga Offensive Classic which I would rate closer to a OFF- in terms of speed. Also for a few bucks more, I would definitely recommend the Galaxy M6 which although is faster - it has tremendous amounts of control.

Ultimately though - having owned a Super Core Cell All+, OFF- and the OFF, you really can't go wrong with either of them. I still pull out my SC All+ once in a while to help me with my close to the table style of play.
