Super Core Carbon Light (CL) OFF+

Germany
Discontinued

Andro Super Core Carbon Light (CL) OFF+ is engineered for aggressive offensive players who demand a potent blend of speed and control. This German-made blade excels in dynamic, attacking play with active blocking and powerful strokes. Its remarkably lightweight construction enhances on-table agility and fast positioning, while the precise manufacturing delivers a stable, high-performance feel. Despite its OFF+ rating, it offers a surprising level of precision, making it a compelling choice for players who want explosive power without sacrificing all control.

5-Ply Construction

The likely 5-ply hybrid construction uses thin carbon layers for stiffness and speed without significant weight gain. A light core wood like Balsa is probable, contributing to the blade's low overall weight and fast characteristics. The specific wood types are not definitively confirmed.

TT Sensei Ratings

Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics

Speed
9.5

This blade is rated very high in speed, aligning perfectly with its OFF+ designation. Our testing shows the lightweight construction, combined with carbon layers, enables rapid ball acceleration. It delivers excellent power for topspins and smashes, making it ideal for players who favor a strong, attacking game from mid-distance.

Control
8.5

Despite its high speed, the Super Core Carbon Light CL OFF+ is frequently praised for its surprising control. Players report good precision, especially in active blocking and when using softer rubbers to enhance feel. The balanced, lightweight design helps maintain stability, allowing for controlled counterattacks and accurate ball placement close to the table.

Feel
Medium-Hard
SoftMedium-HardHard

The blade delivers a stiffer, harder feel characteristic of carbon construction. It provides clear ball feedback and a crisp impact, but lacks the softer, more flexible touch of all-wood blades. This feel supports direct, powerful shots over dwell-heavy strokes.

Throw Angle
Medium-High
LowMedium-HighHigh

The blade produces a medium-high throw angle, facilitating penetrating topspin shots with a good arc. This helps in generating effective loop drives and offensive plays from various distances.

Dwell Time
6.5

Dwell time is moderate, as expected from a stiff, fast carbon blade designed for direct power. It focuses on quick ball rebound rather than extended contact, though pairing with softer rubbers can help increase dwell for added spin.

Flexibility
3.5

This is a relatively stiff blade. The carbon reinforcement and OFF+ design prioritize stability and direct power transfer over flex, making it ideal for players who drive through the ball with firm, aggressive strokes.

Vibration
6.0

Vibration feedback is moderate. The carbon construction transmits some crisp sensation upon contact, but the lightweight design may dampen harsher vibrations. Players experience a clear, direct connection with the ball without excessive shock.

Quality
8.0

Andro blades are known for good manufacturing quality, and this model is precisely crafted. While past models had durability concerns, TTSensei experts note these issues have been resolved in current production. The build reflects solid German engineering standards, offering a reliable and well-finished product for competitive play.

Technology

The 'Super Core' technology refers to a construction method aimed at optimizing weight distribution and vibration dampening, often within the handle. The 'Carbon Light' aspect indicates the use of thin carbon fiber layers integrated between wood veneers to enhance speed and stiffness without adding significant weight. This combination creates a blade that is both explosively fast and remarkably light, appealing to players who prioritize agility and quick offensive actions.
