Temper Tech OFF+
Andro Temper Tech OFF+ delivers high-performance offensive play with its unique temperature-treated construction. This 5-ply blade features Limba outer veneers hardened through a proprietary heating process, creating a stiffer, lighter platform ideal for powerful attacks from mid-distance. It offers an impressive blend of speed and dynamic range while maintaining surprising control, making it suitable for aggressive players who rely on strong topspin and drives. The result is a durable, stable blade that provides a consistent foundation for advanced offensive tactics.
This 5-ply construction features Limba outer plies with a Kiri core, though the specific materials for the inner plies remain undisclosed. The temperature-treated wood process enhances stiffness and reduces weight throughout the layered structure.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Players report exceptional speed with this blade, consistently rating it at the top end of the spectrum. Its construction enables powerful shots and quick exchanges that excel in attacking situations. The temperature-treated wood provides impressive speed reserves that particularly shine during mid-distance attacks and fast-paced rallies.
Despite its high-speed rating, the Temper Tech OFF+ offers remarkable control that offensive players appreciate. This balance allows for precise placement and effective execution of various strokes including blocks and spin-oriented shots. Many players find they can maintain aggressive play while still having the finesse needed for tactical variations.
The Temper Tech OFF+ delivers a stiff, hard feel with clear feedback that many offensive players prefer. The temperature-treatment process creates a stiffer sensation compared to traditional all-wood blades, yet still provides good ball feedback that helps players gauge their shots effectively.
The combination of speed and stiffness creates a medium-high throw angle that benefits offensive shots. This trajectory helps generate power on smashes and drives while maintaining good arc for topspin attacks.
While not exceptionally long, this blade offers sufficient dwell time for effective spin generation on topspin shots. Players find they can impart good spin on serves and loops, making it versatile for various offensive techniques.
High stiffness defines this blade's character, making it very rigid for direct power transfer. This rigidity is a key factor in its speed performance and provides a solid platform for powerful shots.
Low vibration characteristics create a more direct feel that reduces hand fatigue during extended play sessions. This is attributed to the stiff construction and specialized wood treatment that dampens unnecessary feedback.
TTSensei experts note superb construction quality with fantastic craftsmanship throughout this blade. The temperature-treated wood and quality veneers result in a durable, aesthetically pleasing product that holds up well over time. Players consistently praise the excellent build quality and materials used in its manufacturing.
Technology
Andro's proprietary Temper Tech process subjects wood veneers to high-temperature heating (150°–230°C) for specific durations. This treatment removes moisture, creating harder, more stable, and lighter materials that enhance playing characteristics. The process increases durability and resistance to environmental factors while transforming woods into optimal raw materials for table tennis blades. This innovative tempering treatment fundamentally improves the wood's properties for better speed, control, and consistency in play.
