Andro TP_Ligna OFF

Simply the best blade I have owned. 5 plies with outer spruce plies which raise dwell-time so much that you can feel the ball penetrating each micron of the rubber sheet then it finally reaches the wooden structure with perfect vibrations felt in the handle which is the most comfortable flared handle I have held in my hand. I must say that this 85 grams blade is well balanced and with Rasanter R47 and R42 glued on it, it is simply perfect! The price I paid is far from the 150USD. I paid 139CAD and for that price : what a deal! German Andro brand is amazing for both blades and rubbers. My previous setup was a BTY Timo Boll ALC with DHS GoldArc 8 47.5 on both sides and I prefer TP_ligna by far for its exceptional control even if it is a notch slower. TP_ligna OFF is like a BTY Petr Korbel with more dwell, less flex and more speed. I really recommend for any intermediate to 1500 level players.

I make the big moves, do the big things, take small groups, turn them into big names, TP Ligna is the one and money ain't a thang

The best blade ever !! It has 5 layers of pure wood (no carbon). The combination of spruce surface, limba layer beyond (both very good for topspin) and probably ayous (or kiri) at the center (for some stiffness) makes the blade have a quite soft feeling (literally you can feel the ball "staying" on the blade, no matter you hit soft or strong topspin) but not very elastic, more like medium-stiff. The result: a perfect top-spin machine with a correct off speed rating, with solid feeling and excellent control (better than most defensive blades), with medium-high throw angle, very good for blocks and even for chops no matter FH or BH. With a simple layer structure and high quality materials and manufacture, TP Ligna Off is an excelent blade for playing high class table tennis. Very good job, Andro !

Good blade. Very similar to nittaku s5 which is buid by soulspin too. The blade got a high throw and a soft touch because of the outer spruce layers. Works better with medium to hard rubbers.
