Review of Andro Rasanter R48Realy like this rubber. I’ve always thought that Andros rubbers was a little bit overrated (not much but a little) regarding spin, comparing with Tenergy or Rakza. I don’t know, but for me, the topsheet on R48 feels different than R42 and R47. R48 has moore grip and generates more spin in my opinion. Spin is hard to overrate on this rubber. Dosn’t has the ”kick” as Tenergy it’s more like Dignics. Use it on backhand in 1.7 mm because i like a bit moore control. Compared whit the R47 I had earlier this feels like it was 2.0. The R48 feels, though it’s faster, a little bit softer than R47. Today i play whit Stigas DNA M in 1.9 mm on forehand. Like that rubber too but even If i like softer rubber on forehand, in the future, i might swich to R48 there too. I think 1,7 will be enough for me even in forehand. . . . . .
I have done a 180’. Now i play with DNA on backhand and R48 in 2 mm on forehand. It suits me perfect. R48 is the best forehand rubber i have ever tried. I understand that high level players might prefer R53 but just love R48. (And R48 DO have a ”kick” which is nicer than Tenergy 05)

Review of Andro Rasanter R45Magnificent rubber. Feels fine to be able to open up with ful power even close to the table. Like R48 very grippy but as it is softer easyer to play with and smash close to table. It feels similar to Nittaku C1 but R45 is lighter and feels a litle bit softer.

Review of Andro NUZN 50Tried it on Andro Synteliac VCO with Hexer powergrip on backhand. Must say it’s the best hybridrubber I’ve tested. Reminds me of my first sheet of Xiom Jekyl & Hyde Z52,5 (witch felt rather soft . . second was harder). Faster than expected, moderate speed when playing soft but fast when playing hard topspin/countertopspins. Feels wery good and it might be the combination with my ”new” Synteliac that makes it extra nice. Don’t know about durability yet but after 2 and a half hour of playing it still looks brand new.

Review of Nittaku Sieger PK50I changed rubber on my second bat to Rakza Z.
For the first time i tried a tacky hybrid rubber. It took some time to adjust but after a while i realy started to like it. My thought was to change my forehand rubber on my ”first” bat to something similar. After reading som reveiws my choise was Sieger PK/50.
I don’t think there are many similaritys between theese two rubbers.
The tackiness is barly notable but the topsheet is soft an very grippy/spinny.
On backhand i have Stiga DNA M. I think PK50 plays similar to the DNA but with moore spin. It’s spin sensitive therefore sometimes a bit hard to control . . . . but I like that.

Review of Stiga DNA Pro MIt’s easy to play with this rubber. The topsheet is soft and very grippy. Easy to generate a god spin without using to much power. However to
generate a huge amount of topspinn by using brutal force is harder. I guess because the same soft topsheet. Tried it on forehand side first but later i found out it suits me perfect on backhand. I find it easy to use the wrist in backhand but it’s harder in forehand.

Review of Tibhar Evolution MX-SNot a rubber for me. I am to old and not that fit to handle this kind of rubber. Very heavy and hard, the sponge seems almost as compact as the topsheet. Cant do spinny serves whit it and for most of the times close to table, when trying to be offensive, missing the table. From distance i really like it though. Very powerful and spinny when hiting hard.

Review of Xiom Omega VII EuroA nice rubber. Like Rakza 7 soft with a slightly softer topsheet. Very easy to play with. You don’t have to be powerful to get a lot of spinn out of this rubber. Very speedy close to table In every way and also speedy far from table as long as you relay on topspinn. It is a soft rubber so trying to hit a powershot from far from the table is not that fun. Not a rubber for the elite but for me it is a god rubber. Trying to reglue this rubber on another blade after some time is hard because it shrinks a bit, like 4 mm.s from handle to top.

Review of Xiom Omega VII ProAnother easy to play rubber. A lot like DNA M with a slightly harder topsheet and a little less spin. The feeling is still rather soft but it is easier to flat hit (smash) than with the DNA.

Review of Yasaka ValmoRealy nice rubber. A lot like Dignics 05 but with a little bit less spin and a little bit moore speed. Both are relatively hard and at the same time light. Valmo the lightest.

Review of Yasaka Rakza XXThis is a very, very good rubber!
Second to none. I am impressed and surprised. Cant say much of durability but after three sessions it looks promising, not at all like hybrid rubbers.
