Andro Kinetic CF light OFF+ Carbon

Anyone has experience with this blade? 

Actually i have problems in my wrist and i need light blades, i have the kong linghui special with tenergy 64 bh and fh, but i feel like i need a light and faster blade and i like blades with carbon layers too.

Kong Linghui special has very good control and is very light but is not so fast and at mid distance my topspins goes down to the net.

I think i might like this blade the andro kinetic, i think it is fast, good control, i like the design and it looks cool.

So you say that i need to remove the contact layer in order to glue the rubber on the blade?

thanks for the answer!!

I just tested out the blade and I have to say it is a great blade for blocking, hitting, and power looping. I was cross-testing it with a Galaxy T-8 so my comparisons will be based on the latter blade.

Feel: The feeling is really good, especially in the sweet spot. When you contact the edge of the rubber, you feel a strong vibration, which I really like because I can tell where I am contacting the ball on my blade when serving. The anatomic handle fits my hand perfectly, much better than the flared handle on the Galaxy.

Speed: Speed is almost the same as Galaxy T-8, which is a very fast blade. It does have a lot more control, however, because you can feel the shots much more (Lupulesku told me that playing with the T-8 is like playing with glass).

Blocking: My favorite part about this blade is that it blocks just as well as my T-8; I can easily 'steer' the ball to any part of the table from spinny and fast loops. Smashing high loops is easy as well.

Looping: The blade loops similarly to the T-8, but you can feel the ball much more clearly (not like glass). There is very little of the 'annoying' vibration, however, which I really like. I'm can consistently place loops on the table with this blade just like with the T-8.

Serving: Not much difference in the speed, although there is a profound difference in the ball feeling. I can feel where the ball is contacting my paddle much more clearly than with the T-8 and since the speed is similar, I didn't have to adjust much when serving.

Dwell-time: The dwell time is relatively short, which makes the blade great for hitting, blocking, and drive-looping, but I am looking for a slower, softer blade atm to improve my footwork with spinny looping. I was using hard rubbers (JO Gold FH, JO Platin BH), so you probably compensate for the short dwell time by getting soft, spring rubbers, like the new ESN tensors.
