✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
HiLoom delivers significant offensive power with a fast, direct response. The NPF composite layer efficiently transfers energy, providing acceleration similar to carbon blades while the Hinoki outer ply adds a quick, lively rebound. This makes it excellent for powerful loops and drives where you need immediate pace off the blade.
Despite its speed, HiLoom maintains exceptional control through its large sweet spot and excellent feedback. The blade feels predictable and connected, allowing precise placement on both aggressive shots and delicate touches. Players report confidence in short game and blocking, with the NPF composite helping stabilize the blade without losing feel.
HiLoom delivers a crisp, direct feel with excellent feedback on contact. The Hinoki outer ply provides a natural wood sensation while the NPF composite adds stiffness for a solid, confident impact. Players describe it as having perfect feedback with a special sensation when hitting the sweet spot.
The blade produces a medium-high throw angle that creates excellent topspin arcs. This characteristic helps generate good clearance over the net while maintaining aggressive trajectory, ideal for modern topspin-oriented play.
The blade offers medium dwell time that allows for good ball pocketing and spin generation. While not extremely long, it provides sufficient contact time for controlled topspin strokes while maintaining a direct, responsive character.
HiLoom features medium flexibility that provides some give during powerful strokes while maintaining stability. This balanced flex allows for good energy transfer without feeling too stiff or too soft, supporting both power and control.
Vibration is minimal with a comfortable, dampened feel on impact. The NPF composite helps absorb harsh vibrations while still transmitting essential feedback, resulting in a smooth playing experience even on hard shots.
Craftsmanship is outstanding with premium material selection and precise construction. The Hinoki outer plies show excellent grain quality, while the NPF composite integration is seamless. Build quality contributes directly to its consistent performance and durability, making it feel like a premium instrument in hand.
Technology
Andro HiLoom features Nature Powered Fibre (NPF) Composite technology, an innovative material based on natural fibers produced through environmentally friendly processes. This composite layer integrates between wood plies to provide carbon-like performance characteristics—enhanced speed, stability, and direct feel—while maintaining natural wood sensations and superior vibration dampening. The technology aims to deliver high energy transfer for offensive power without the harshness sometimes associated with traditional carbon fibers, creating a unique playing experience that bridges wood feel with modern composite performance.
