Kinetic Supreme Carbon OFF
Andro Kinetic Supreme Carbon OFF delivers a performance-oriented experience for aggressive offensive players. Its composite construction provides direct touch and excellent ball feedback, characteristic of carbon blades. The integration of carbon layers near the core enhances stability and control, enabling powerful strokes and dynamic topspin play. A slightly top-heavy design adds extra power, making it an ideal choice for players who rely on forceful, attacking strategies. This blade meets the highest demands of modern table tennis by expertly blending speed, control, and feel.
The construction typically involves an outer wood layer (like Koto or Hinoki) for feel and spin, followed by a Zylon or Carbon layer for added speed and stability, then a core wood (like Kiri) for the main feel and flex, with symmetrical construction for balance. This hybrid approach aims to balance the directness of carbon with the dwell time and feel of wood.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Andro Kinetic Supreme Carbon OFF is characterized by high speed, making it suitable for powerful offensive strokes and aggressive play. Players report a high basic speed that enables amazingly powerful shots, positioning it firmly in the OFF+ category. Its consistent performance across various strokes provides the explosive power needed for modern attacking table tennis.
While primarily an offensive blade, control is surprisingly good due to carbon layers positioned near the core, which add stability. This provides more control compared to some other carbon blades, though the high speed demands precise technique, especially in passive shots. Many players find it offers excellent stability for blocking and placement when paired with the right rubbers.
Andro Kinetic Supreme Carbon OFF offers a direct touch with exact ball contact feedback. The feel is described as hard and fast but not unbridled, providing distinct feedback due to the carbon construction. While less woody than all-wood blades, it still offers enough feel for spin-oriented play, especially when paired with softer rubbers.
This blade produces a high ball trajectory, making it excellent for aggressive topspin strokes. Players report a high and long arc that helps clear the net with margin while maintaining offensive pressure, ideal for loop-driven attacking styles.
While described as fast, the dwell time is generally sufficient for generating spin, especially with the right rubber pairing. It might have less dwell time than all-wood blades or specific loop-oriented blades, but players report adequate contact time for creating heavy topspin when technique is proper.
This blade is generally described as stiff due to its carbon construction. The stiffness aids in power transfer for fast shots and smashes, but can make it less forgiving for players who rely heavily on flexibility for spin generation. It offers a firm, responsive platform for aggressive strokes.
The carbon layers contribute to a direct feel with moderate vibration. However, anti-torsion ply technology helps eliminate annoying vibrations, suggesting a controlled vibration profile for an offensive carbon blade that provides feedback without being harsh.
Andro Kinetic Supreme Carbon OFF features impressive build quality with excellent materials and construction. The finish is exceptional, leading to a durable and well-balanced blade that maintains performance over time. Our testing shows consistent manufacturing standards that professional players appreciate for tournament play.
Technology
