Description
Andro Synteliac ZCI OFF stands at the intersection of traditional wood feel and modern carbon technology. Its inner Zyreema carbon placement offers high-speed potential while maintaining a natural, wood-like feel, an ideal combination for aggressive topspin players who don’t want to lose touch or control.
Build Quality and Visual Design: The blade features a smooth finish with rounded edges, a precise joint between handle and blade face, and visually striking fiber layering. The handle is ergonomically contoured for comfort and stability during intense play.
Gameplay Performance:
Looping: Fast and spinny with excellent arc due to ample dwell time and carbon rebound.
Blocking: Stable and reliable, particularly against fast topspin shots—thanks to the broad sweet spot and low vibration.
Smashing & Countering: Outstanding for direct attacks; the blade catapults the ball with minimal energy loss.
Short Game: Requires slight adjustment due to its springy nature, but manageable for experienced players.
Comparison with Similar Blades: Compared to other carbon inner blades, such as Butterfly Innerforce ZLC or Donic Ovtcharov True Carbon, the Synteliac ZCI offers a more balanced touch between stiffness and flex. It’s faster than most classic all-wood blades, like the Stiga Infinity VPS V, yet provides better feedback than outer carbon models, such as the Timo Boll ALC.
Recommended For:
Advanced loopers and offensive-minded all-rounders
Players who favor a two-winged topspin style
Intermediate players transitioning to composite blades. It may not be suitable for beginners or defensive styles due to its fast tempo.
Price-to-Performance: While it sits in the higher-end price range, the performance it delivers justifies the investment for serious players. Its blend of technology, comfort, and precision makes it one of the top-tier options for competition-level play.
