Treiber H
Andro Treiber H is a hybrid offensive blade designed for players who value a precise blend of speed and control. Its construction centers on H-fiber interlayers positioned around a Koto core, enhancing direct feedback and enlarging the sweet spot for spin-oriented play. Koto outer veneers deliver a crisp, responsive feel, making it excellent for aggressive topspins and controlled attacks. This blade suits intermediate to advanced players seeking a sensitive touch and consistent performance in fast rallies, offering a modern alternative that bridges traditional wood feel with composite power.
The blade features a 7-ply, 5+2 construction with Koto outer veneers and a Kiri core. H-fiber interlayers are positioned directly around the core-veneer, which aims to enhance direct feel and control while providing a larger sweet spot and consistent performance.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Treiber H delivers high speed suitable for offensive play, with most evaluations placing it around a 9. Our testing confirms it's fast enough for powerful loops and drives, though it emphasizes controlled acceleration rather than sheer explosiveness. The H-fiber construction contributes to this balanced offensive capability, providing pace without sacrificing touch.
Control is a standout feature, with consistently high ratings. Players report enormous ball feeling and precision, especially for spin-oriented strokes and service returns. Even during high-speed exchanges, the blade maintains excellent stability for blocks and short game maneuvers, making it a reliable choice for aggressive yet accurate play.
Treiber H offers a direct, responsive feel through its Koto outer veneers and H-fiber interlayers. While designed for sensitive touch, the overall sensation leans toward medium-hard, especially when paired with harder rubbers, providing crisp feedback and solid ball connection.
Treiber H produces a medium-high throw angle that aids in generating powerful, dangerous loops. This trajectory helps offensive players apply pressure with aggressive topspin shots from various distances, making it effective for sustained attacking play.
The blade provides good dwell time that enhances ball grip and spin generation. This characteristic is particularly noticeable in service returns and aggressive loops, where the extended contact improves accuracy and facilitates spinny offensive play.
It features medium flexibility, balancing stiffness for power with some give for dwell time and control. This adaptability supports both direct powerful shots and effective spin-oriented techniques, making it versatile for various offensive styles.
Vibration levels are medium, with H-fiber interlayers effectively absorbing unwanted oscillations. This results in clear, useful feedback when striking the sweet spot, offering players good sensory information without excessive harshness.
Build quality is generally praised for good craftsmanship and material selection. TTSensei experts note the construction feels solid and well-finished, offering reliable performance for its category. While some minor inconsistencies in play characteristics might occur, overall it represents good value and durability.
Technology
Andro Treiber H utilizes 'Treiber Technology' with high-tech synthetic H-fiber interlayers strategically placed around the core veneer. This construction enlarges the sweet spot, minimizes distortion, and delivers a direct play feeling. The specific fiber placement enhances both speed and control, offering a sensitive touch that benefits spin-oriented strokes. This technology effectively bridges traditional wood blades and modern composites, providing enhanced performance characteristics for today's offensive game.
