Andro

Andro table tennis equipment — a German brand covering blades, rubbers and assembled rackets, backed by one of the largest accessory ranges we carry.

The accessory range is the reason to know this brand even if you play with somebody else's blade: glue, edge tape, cleaner and cases are what keep a racket working between rubber changes, and Andro covers all of them. The playing equipment runs from all-wood frames for developing players through to carbon composites.

Andro publishes its performance figures out of 100, for blades and rubbers alike. That is a finer scale than the out-of-10 systems some brands use, so read the numbers within Andro rather than converting them across brands — and a blade's figures and a rubber's measure different things in any case.
