Review of Andro Rasanter R45

Excellent rubber that feels like around 44° with a very grippy, thin surface. Thid way the sponge is thicker, allowing many players to go with the 2.0mm version.

Topspin openers on underspin are well possible, slow or mid fast. They are really spinny and tend to have a low curve on mid fast strokes up to mid high curve on slower topspins.
This rubber also shines on counter topspins whereas it is limited in speed when you have to counter power topspins. You won't be able to add more speed on top then.
Serves are easy and spinny, too. Even the short-short game is well possible with this rubber.
The only real downside of this rubber is blocking. It is really tough to block hard and spinny topspins as the curve is, as mentioned above, rather low and the sponge having quite a catapult. It was way easier for me to block those shots with my Xiom Omega V, though I then missed some gears on my forehand topspin with the O5E.

Review of JOOLA Tronix ACC

Very low throw angle, very good for forehand blocking, topspins and counter topspins. Serving is okay. My new forehand rubber.

Review of Xiom Vega Japan

A big minus for this rubber is the fact that it tends to slip off the rubber sometimes when hitting the ball tangentially, e.g. when doing topspins. Is just like if the ball was wet. I also noticed this on a friends blade while he was playing with the VJ.

You often can read that people have this specific problem with the Vega Japan (red rubbers more commonly though).

As this is a no go to me that I can't accept, this was the last time I bought this rubber.

Review of Xiom Omega VII Euro

Rather unspinny, yet fast and controlled rubber. Topspins are very consistent, but not so dangerous. Opponents found it easy to block. Way easier than with R45.
