Review of Andro Rasanter R50OMG !Finally found the best combination for me. I used to play Rasanter C48 in FH, now I have it in BH. I play this Rasanter R50 FH on a Stiga Dynasty Carbon Xu Xin. First training sessions were like "omg, uncontrollable" all played balls went too far, left the blade too fast and the feeling was not good. Then came the day in which I stopped thinking about the blade. And I played my style. I did not really figured out I was playing well but spectators did. Then I started focus on the blade again and wow, what a feeling. When you play it with the aim to use its full potential, it's really rewarding. On serve, first, it does not need a lot of power to perform. You can serve a spin with no power, and without "force" it. But if you want, you can throw it powerfully. It brings you a huge range of secure serves. This blade is not made for passive play. You can be very effective even in short play, as soon as you are active in the ball. You can trigger slide spins, top spins, back spins and keep a lot of control. However just push the ball will always give your opponent an attack opportunity. In the same way, passive blocks will often fly out. Active blocks, however, as well as counter tops, are sooooo easy and make me feel like a real good player every time. Playing with this blade, you'd better not be shy, and not be afraid of it. If your play is based on spinning, rotating, counter-attacking/-topping, this blade deserves a try. It requires the right gameplay to perform but if you have it, you can do nothing but fall in love with it. Oct 04, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Andro Rasanter C48I play it on a Stiga Dynasty Xu Xin Carbon.I used to play it FH. It was great, nice spin, nice control, but few of the attacks were deadly. So I moved it for BH, where it just shines. First of all, this rubber is very good. My game BH is not based on winning attacks. I play basically placing the ball, variating spins and backspins, before rotating for a FH attack. Or waiting for the opponent to attack then counter him. In both of those uses, this rubber shines. Placing the ball is so natural that you can only concentrate on the spin you want to trigger in the ball, then anticipate the next move. This is made for those who want to remain the leader in the play. Even on a carbon blade, this rubber keeps the ball long enough to allow you some time to rethink your move if you misunderstood the spin. For serves, it's also a masterpiece, allowing you to serve fast or not, with the same amount of spin, and a minimum of movement. Oct 04, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Stiga Airoc S

Review of Stiga Airoc SStiga rubbers used to be for me like revelation. When I first tested Innova Ultra Light, it was for me like an upgrade in my playstyle. From that time, I developped very good serves and spins. My game and level increase such as my adversaries', so did my material. I went to Calibra LT, with an ALL+ wood and that was terrible ... So for this season, I changed everything with Stiga Offensive CR WRB, mounted with Airoc S on both sides. New revelation ! New pleasure at the table ! Lot of winning serves, mid and away of table topspins are amazingly spinny and precise. Feel like I can put everything on the table, due to the security lead by the throwing angle quite high. It's almost like you have the ball in your hand.I can also spin cut balls with ease. Lot of control while blocking. Perfect for agressive gameplay, against modern players. Of course, such as most of soft blades (all?) it's quite hard at short game with no effect. The high throw angle is hard to control (with hard blade of course, but with soft blades, it's less interesting at topspinning) - so the ball often goes up and turns to punishment. I'm bad at smashing, and this rubber adds to this difficulty due to high trhowing angle. On high balls you almost have to smash it on your side if you want the ball to hit the table. Even if I'm bad, I have a percentage of missed ball of almost ... 95%. Speed and angle obliterates the control and high balls must be played another way (even if I must be a large part of the 95% XD) Last point, I mainly serve and attack forehand, which is required in 85% of my power shots. After 6 month, 1 training session a week + matches on the weekend + 2 tournaments on the period, my forehand rubber is quite marked ! Still spinning, a bit harder and not so trustworthy as it was at first. Throwing angle faded a bit too. It's still a good blade, I'm not changing it now but will come back when it's time for me to change. Dec 02, 2019 | |||||||||||||||
