A dependable special-material Blade designed with the Player in mind down to the smallest details

　The “PROSPIRE” series debuted at the end of 2024 as a new Racket lineup from andro. The name “PROSPIRE,” a blend of “Progressive” and “Inspire,” carries the idea of becoming a partner that supports Players in improving their skills.

Following the two all-wood models in the series’ first release, the two models introduced in April were the “PROSPIRE CI OFF,” with Aramid Carbon positioned on the inner layer, and the “PROSPIRE CO OFF,” with Aramid Carbon positioned on the outer layer. Both are Blades that combine rebound power and ease of use thanks to Aramid Carbon, which delivers lively bounce while maintaining a soft Hitting the ball feel.

　andro also offers similar Rackets with KVL Carbon, the “TRAVER CI OFF” and “TRAVER CO OFF/S,” but the “PROSPIRE” series was developed with advanced Players in mind. Compared with the “TRAVER” series, it is designed with a larger sweet spot, better ball hold, and greater power.

　The “PROSPIRE CI OFF” introduced here is a Blade that, in addition to the stability and ball-grabbing feel unique to an inner construction, also has the strength to avoid being beaten by an Opponent’s Ball. It can be called a classic modern inner model in terms of performance, but even the details reflect a strong focus on the user.

　First, the Grip is made slimmer than on other andro Rackets so that it is easier to hold securely for women, as well as elementary and junior high school students. The Racket is also designed to be lighter, making it easier to pair with heavier Rubbers.

　And as an advanced model with special materials, its price is relatively reasonable at ¥16,500 including tax, which is another major appeal. To put it plainly, “high price, high performance” is only natural. The “PROSPIRE” series could be called a Blade that delivers the “high performance at an affordable price” that many users are looking for.
