Novacell OFF/S

Novacell OFF/S is designed as the speed specialist in its series. A harder and thicker core veneer directly contributes to generating higher ball speeds, making it ideal for players who rely on quick attacks and powerful shots to dominate rallies from an offensive position.

Despite its high-speed design, Novacell OFF/S maintains excellent control. The CELL technology reduces vibrations and provides clear feedback, allowing players to place shots with precision even during the fastest exchanges, a balance that defines its offensive character.

Novacell OFF/S delivers a crisp and stable feel, with vibration reduction from CELL technology creating a clear connection. It provides a good touch, though some players note it feels less soft or dwell-oriented compared to blades designed primarily for feel, landing it in the medium-hard category.

Novacell OFF/S generally produces a medium-high to high throw angle, facilitating aggressive topspin shots with a good, arcing trajectory that works well with modern rubbers.

This blade strikes a good balance, offering medium dwell time that provides enough ball-holding for spin generation while ensuring a quick release for offensive shots. It's particularly effective for controlled topspin play close to the table.

Novacell OFF/S possesses a moderate level of flexibility, offering a good compromise between the stiffness needed for powerful drives and the slight give that aids feel and spin generation. This makes it effective for both looping and blocking.

A key feature is the effective vibration-dampening from CELL technology. This results in a clearer impulse with reduced unwanted vibrations, significantly enhancing control and player comfort during aggressive play.

Players report very good craftsmanship and material quality. A common note from our community is that the blade may benefit from sealing to prevent potential splintering when re-gluing rubbers, which is a specific maintenance consideration rather than a flaw in construction.
