[FONT="]I've only been playing for 1 1/2 years and am a low intermediate player, so consider that with the review.
I moved to these after playing with the softer Xiom Vega Euro DF rubbers on both sides for 9 months. I like the Euro DF. Soft at 37 degrees, they helped me start to learn how to spin the ball and loop. The Euro DF was too soft and slow for the forehand especially so I wanted to bump up to something harder.
Andro Hexer Grip is harder but not too hard for me at 45 degrees. I got it on Max on both FH and BH. The first day I thought I had made a terrible mistake because they were so bouncy.
But after 3 days, they softened and I'm now finding them to be a great all-around rubber. They work well on every type of stroke. I'm using then on my OFF- OSP Virtuoso.
The main advantage is in the title - The GRIP! It's much easier to do spin on an underspin and side serve now (versus the Euro DF). Looping is good.
AND, it's much easier to do underspin pushes and chops. That grip helps.
They are also excellent at blocking.
Downside: It's not super fast and won't be the most powerful rubber at the club. But that's ok for me now, since i'm still learning how to brush and loop and flick. They're forgiving, which I like. These rubbers are helping me train towards the next level. I will order them again![/FONT]
