✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
This blade sits at the very top of the speed scale, offering explosive power and a strong catapult effect. Shots fly off the rubber with minimal effort, making it ideal for powerful loops and fast attacks. The carbon layers significantly boost acceleration, allowing players to generate tremendous pace even from passive blocks or half-distance strokes.
Control is respectable for such a fast blade, but it requires advanced technique. The direct, stiff feel provides good feedback on ball contact, allowing for precise placement when strokes are well-timed. However, its high speed and lower dwell time mean touch shots and short game demand a delicate, confident touch to avoid over-hitting.
Players experience a crisp, firm, and direct feel upon ball contact. The carbon layers reduce woodiness, creating a solid, slightly vibrating feedback that communicates impact clearly. It's not overly harsh but provides a distinct, powerful sensation suited to aggressive play.
It produces a medium-low throw angle, meaning the ball travels on a flatter trajectory. This complements its speed, allowing for penetrating shots that stay low over the net, but requires more upward brush for high-arc loops compared to high-throw blades.
Dwell time is on the shorter side due to the stiff carbon construction. The ball spends less time on the racket, favoring a direct, catapult-like release that prioritizes speed over brushing contact, which suits a hitting-oriented style.
This is a very stiff blade. The carbon reinforcement creates a rigid, low-flex platform that maximizes power transfer and reduces bending, ideal for players who generate power through body mechanics rather than blade flex.
Vibration is moderate. The carbon layers dampen some of the wood's natural vibration, resulting in a feedback that is crisp and informative without being numb or excessively sharp. It provides enough sensation for touch without being distracting.
Andro's Kinetic Supreme Carbon OFF+ is well-crafted with good finish and consistent construction. The handle is typically comfortable and secure, and the blade exhibits solid build quality with reliable performance. Some players note the finish can vary slightly between samples, but overall it represents a high-quality product for its category.
Technology
The Kinetic Supreme Carbon OFF+ utilizes carbon fiber layers integrated into its ply structure. This technology enhances rigidity and creates a pronounced catapult effect, where energy storage and release are optimized for explosive speed. The construction aims to minimize energy loss on impact, translating player effort directly into ball velocity, making it highly efficient for powerful offensive strokes.
Similar Blades
Butterfly Viscaria
The Viscaria offers a similar OFF+ speed with a more controlled, linear feel. Its ALC (Arylate-Carbon) construction provides excellent vibration damping and a larger sweet spot, making it a popular choice for players who want top-tier speed with slightly more forgiveness and dwell time than the Kinetic Supreme Carbon.
Stiga Carbonado 290
The Carbonado 290 is another extremely fast carbon blade with a stiff, direct character. It shares the explosive power and low throw angle but often has a slightly harder, more metallic feel. It's suited for players who prioritize raw speed and a very direct feedback over touch sensation.
