An ideally tuned tensor effect characterizes the two GTT rubbers from Andro. As the rubbers are very controlled and easy to play, they offer an extremely pleasant playing feel. Therefore, these two rubbers are not only perfect for allround/power allround players, but also players who want to switch to tensor rubbers will benefit from the brilliant playing properties. Additionally, the GTT rubbers produced in Germany are a very good option for beginners and young players who need high control to learn all stroke techniques as best and cleanly as possible.
With its 40° soft sponge, the GTT 40 is the slower of the two GTT rubbers. Through the built-in fresh glue effect and the interaction with the grippy top sheet, the GTT 40 becomes a perfectly tuned allround rubber. The rubber generates an above-average long ball contact time, leading to very good control. Thus, the GTT 40 provides an enormous ball feel and sensational feedback in every playing situation, enabling high ball security and the most precise placements possible. The grippy top sheet additionally guarantees the potential to play variable serves and returns, as well as spin-rich, delicate openings. With these controlled playing properties, the Andro GTT 40 is an absolute prime example of a soft, relatively slow allround rubber.
Ideal Balance of Speed and Control: Andro GTT 45
The 45 in the name of the Andro GTT 45 stands for the hardness degree of the sponge with which the rubber is equipped. Thus, the GTT 45 can be classified as medium-hard and is accordingly equipped with a slightly higher, but still moderate, basic speed than the GTT 40. In combination with the integrated fresh glue effect, the rubber has more power and better acceleration, so that higher dynamics and more speed can be generated in attacking strokes. At the same time, the GTT 45 can still be very well controlled in play over the table, as well as in passive, delicate strokes, ensuring high ball security and variability. Through the perfect tuning of ball feel, control, and dynamics, the GTT 45 is predestined for controlled offensive play with secure basic strokes and effective attacking strokes. But also aggressive allrounders will be able to exploit the full potential of this rubber.
Conclusion on the Andro GTT Rubbers:
The two Andro GTT rubbers are generally high-quality and optimally tuned rubbers for controlled play and a pleasant entry into the world of tensor rubbers. The GTT 40 is the variant for somewhat more passive allrounders, whereas the GTT 45 provides more support for one's own attacks. Another aspect of these two rubbers that should not be neglected is certainly the relatively good price-performance ratio.
