Kinetic CF Carbo-Aramid OFF
Andro Kinetic CF Carbo-Aramid OFF is a 7-ply offensive blade built for modern attacking play. Its unique hybrid construction pairs Carbo-Aramid fiber layers with Black-Fine-Veneer outer plies, creating a powerful yet controlled platform. The design emphasizes vibration reduction for enhanced ball feel, making it ideal for players with short, dynamic strokes who rely on consistent rebound and a high ball trajectory for aggressive topspin.
This symmetrical 7-ply construction uses Black-Fine-Veneer outer layers for speed and feel. Carbo-Aramid fiber layers are placed beneath them to provide stability and vibration reduction. The central wood core and additional wood plies give the blade its overall structure and contribute to its balanced, offensive character.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Kinetic CF Carbo-Aramid OFF is exceptionally fast, built for powerful strokes with short arm movements. The Black-Fine-Veneer outer plies are key drivers of this speed, providing a quick rebound that excels in offensive rallies and direct attacks.
Despite its high speed, this blade maintains impressive control. The Carbo-Aramid fibers effectively reduce vibration, enhancing the player's feel for the ball and allowing for precise placement even during aggressive, fast-paced play.
The blade offers a medium-hard feel with outstanding ball feedback. The Carbo-Aramid fibers provide a crisp, direct sensation, while unique internal handle components may enhance the overall tactile experience, giving players a clear connection to their shots.
It produces a medium-high to high throw angle, creating a pronounced ball arc that is highly beneficial for executing aggressive, looping topspin shots with plenty of clearance over the net.
It provides a medium dwell time, allowing for sufficient ball grip to generate effective topspin while maintaining the quick rebound needed for offensive speed and direct play.
The blade is quite stiff, a result of its multi-ply wood construction reinforced with Carbo-Aramid fibers. This stiffness contributes to its high speed, direct power transfer, and stable, predictable response.
Vibration is significantly reduced thanks to the Carbo-Aramid fiber layers. This creates a clean, direct feel upon contact, eliminating harsh feedback and allowing players to focus on ball control and placement.
Players report good build quality and a durable construction. The materials and craftsmanship suggest a reliable blade that holds up well over time, providing a consistent and positive playing experience.
Technology
Andro Kinetic CF Carbo-Aramid OFF integrates advanced Carbo-Aramid fiber technology. This composite material absorbs shock and minimizes vibration, dramatically improving tactile feedback and ball feel. The Black-Fine-Veneer outer plies are engineered for maximum speed generation in fast exchanges. The 7-ply construction, combining these specialized materials, creates a stable platform that promotes a high ball trajectory and a refined balance between offensive power and precise control. Some players also note unique internal components within the handle that further refine the blade's feedback characteristics.
