Kinetic CF Kevlar-Carbon OFF

This blade delivers very high speed, with many players classifying its character as OFF+. The Kevlar-Carbon composite layers provide significant stiffness and power, translating into explosive attacking shots. Our testing shows it generates a high basic speed that outpaces many traditional offensive blades, making it ideal for players who want to dominate rallies with fast drives and loops.

Remarkably, for its speed, this blade offers excellent control. The material combination and the Kinetic handle system work together to provide enhanced stability and clear feedback, allowing for precise ball placement. Players report it enables effective blocking and accurate shot-making, making it a versatile weapon where power and accuracy coexist.

The feel is direct, crisp, and stiff, characteristic of blades with strong composite layers. The Kevlar-Carbon provides tremendous feedback, allowing you to feel the ball contact clearly. The Kinetic system in the handle further refines this sensation, offering a distinct and communicative touch.

It produces a medium-high throw angle, which is advantageous for offensive play. This trajectory helps loops and drives clear the net comfortably and arc effectively onto the table, especially when paired with modern tensor-style rubbers.

Dwell time is moderate, which is typical for fast, stiff hybrid blades. It provides sufficient contact for effective spin generation on loops and drives but is not designed for exceptionally long ball holding. Players who generate spin with fast, brushing techniques will find it very responsive.

This is a very rigid, stiff blade. The composite layers minimize flex, contributing to its high speed and direct power transfer. It excels at powerful, flat-hit shots and fast topspins but is not suited for players seeking a flexible or soft, dwell-oriented feel.

Vibration is well-managed. While the composite construction could introduce more feedback, the integrated Kinetic system in the handle—often described as containing micro elements—absorbs shock and refines the sensation. The result is a clear feel without excessive harshness.

Build quality is generally considered very good, reflecting Andro's reputable craftsmanship. Many users have reported their blades remaining in top condition even after years of use, though a minor note about potential chipping exists. Overall, it's a well-constructed piece of equipment designed for serious play.
