Review of Andro Rasant GripI took my old Rasant grip from the drawer, and I was surprised by his good shape! I used it for a whole season and change for another style. But my new rubber (Stiga Magna TX) is too hard to loop with. As I didn't want to buy a new one in the middle season, I glued my AGrip, and it's like new! My serve are incredibly spinny. So the durability is beyond expectation. Still, I find it a little slow, but really good rubber!

Review of Andro Rasanter R47My review is based on comparison with Andro Grip. Nice update, really faster. Every aspect of the game has been improved: Speed, Spin (Feel like playing with C-ball and make points with my serve...), throw angle (little higher), short game easy, good blocks... Except for the passive shots! If you're out of position and expect this rubber to do the trick, that won't happen... You have to PLAY all the points, otherwise it's really difficult to control this one. That's why i'm rating less control than the Rasant Grip. And I don't rate durability for now. But i trust Andro for this...

Review of Andro Rasanter R42Suits me better than R47. Easier to play. Closer version of Rasant grip.
UPDATE: Attached my R42 on fast carbon blade and it's definitively a great rubber. Reminds me of T05.
A must try!

Review of Andro Rasanter R37I tried this one on my BH to see if it could replace my R42. If you like soft rubber but need speed, this is very good.
It feel harder than the 37°, and little faster than Rasant Grip. Spin really good( apparentely like the whole Rasanter serie)
And the control is really great! Perfect block and underspin. You've got to get use to it for flicking, but i think it's not it's main strength.
Defending with this one is quite correct for an attacking rubber, but far from the table, it's difficult to come back with an aggressive counter.

Review of Andro Rasanter R48I tested the R48 several sessions on my robot. So I will update the review when I can play against a teammate.
My ratings are in comparison of my review of R47. The hardness is quite the same. I don't feel softer than the 48°. But, it grab the ball really better than the R47. So you feel a longer dwell time. That's the trick with this one! You can impart huge amount of spin. I've never play with tacky chinese rubber, but the R48 is phenomenon! It's less direct in play than R47, I tend to topspin instead of hitting. For me that's the main difference between those 2. Control and speed are quite identical. The throw angle maybe just a little higher, but not much. I can see players with R48 in FH and R47 in BH. Again, it was on robot training, I'm looking forward playing in club with this rubber!!!

Review of Andro Rasanter V42For me, it's a Do-it all Backhand rubber. But its real strength is the control. I played with the "R" series, and the R42 was great but very bouncy and quite high throw angle. The V42 has almost the same features in general, but is really better at blocking thanks to lower bounciness and throw angle compared to the "R".

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 05Just got 2 T05 on second hand. 2,1 mm 4 months of use. I play with Rasanter R47, wich I find great.
But I feel like T05 is another level of play. I'm not going to specifie every aspect of the game. It's just that I feel no weakness with this rubber! I'm very confident in every shot!!! Incredible feeling... Sad that I didn't try this one years ago....

Review of Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 50 HardGreat FH rubber. Feels softer than the 50° anounced. Excellent Spin regarding the speed!
You need to activate the sponge to get the spin, I couldn't recommand more for the players who like to Topspin aggressively!

Review of Gewo Nexxus XT Pro 48Remind me of Andro Rasant Turbo, but with a better spin ability. Quite fast, you need time to tame it!!!
But despite the speed, it blocks really well! Just be careful with your choice of blade.

Review of Tibhar Aurus PrimeGreat offensive rubber. No weaknesses. Not sensitive to incoming spin, which help a lot for returning services.
That's why I prefer it on BH. edit: I can now compare with T05 on the same blade. Prime is faster, slightly less spin but that's really not much and the throw angle is quite similar too. I think it's one of the best solution to replace the T05 ! I'm going to keep it for a while!

Review of Tibhar Evolution MX-SI tried MX-S on BH, great for blocking and hitting. Then I tested with my FH, and you know it's really good! It's very linear, very little catapult effect, so with a good arm, you can really shoot huge topspin. The amount of spin is even better than T05 (which is my actual FH) The only issue is the weight. I might keep up with this one when I'll change my T05.

Review of TSP Ventus SpinTried Ventus Spin on my Bh to get more safety and springiness. I was afraid that it would be difficult to manage the opponents spin, but it's rather insensitive. So I feel very confident with it. It surely isn't a roquet, but for Bh it suits my liking. No weak point and the short game is really nice. But I think the strongest thing is the counter! Close to the table, you got really good control and you can place the ball with ease! Top of all, the price is friendly.

Review of Xiom Omega V AsiaGreat BH rubber! Blocks are really easy to perform. Flicks on serve are very accurate. Spin is ok but not the best.
