Andro Synteliac VCI Gauzy Edition

Andro Synteliac VCI Gauzy Edition is designed for offensive players who want the power of a carbon blade without losing the feel needed for precise spin production and controlled placement.

Its inner-carbon construction places the Voltema carbon layer closer to the core, allowing the wood veneers to contribute more to the blade's touch and response. The Limba outer veneers provide a familiar contact feel, while the Ayous core supports the blade's offensive character.

The result is a blade that rewards players who vary their pace, open with heavy topspin, and accelerate when the opportunity presents itself. It is particularly well suited to players who build points through spin and placement rather than relying exclusively on flat hitting.

For players who enjoy the feel of an all-wood blade but want additional stability and power when counterlooping, the Synteliac VCI Gauzy Edition is worth considering.

Recommended Forehand Rubbers

Andro Chintac 52S
A strong choice for players who use heavy spin to establish their attack. The tacky topsheet helps generate rotation on serves and opening loops, while the 52° Tensor sponge provides the dynamic response needed for offensive play. This combination suits players who want a spin-oriented forehand without moving to an extra-hard sponge.

Andro Chintac 57S
For advanced players with strong acceleration and consistent technique. The extra-hard 57° sponge rewards committed strokes and precise contact, making it a good choice for aggressive forehand topspins and counterattacks. The Gauzy blade's inner-carbon construction complements the rubber's direct, powerful response.

Recommended Backhand Rubbers

Andro Rasanter C45
An excellent choice for spin-oriented backhand players who open against underspin and counterloop close to the table. Its 45° sponge complements the Gauzy blade's inner-carbon construction with a controlled, spin-focused response.

Andro Rasanter R42
A versatile option for players who want easier backhand topspins, reliable blocking, and good touch. The softer 42° sponge provides additional forgiveness without sacrificing offensive capability.

STIGA DNA Hybrid M
For players with an active backhand who want more grip and a firmer response. Its 47.5° sponge and semi-tacky surface reward confident acceleration and precise ball contact.

Who Should Consider This Blade?

The Synteliac VCI Gauzy Edition is particularly suited to intermediate-to-advanced offensive players who...

• Prefer spin-oriented attacking rather than primarily flat hitting.
• Want carbon-blade stability with more wood-like contact feedback.
• Use both wings to initiate attacks and counterloop.
• Value touch in the short game alongside offensive power.

Players transitioning from an all-wood offensive blade may appreciate its inner-carbon construction, although the overall setup will also depend on their rubber selection.

Paddle Palace Equipment Advice

For a modern two-winged attacking setup, consider Chintac 52S on the forehand and Rasanter C45 on the backhand. This pairing combines a tacky, spin-oriented forehand with a more forgiving counterspin backhand.

Advanced players who prefer a harder forehand response can substitute Chintac 57S. Players looking for an easier backhand response may prefer Rasanter R42.

The best combination depends on your technique, playing distance, and preferred contact feel.
