Andro Rasant Beat

From retailer's website: SPEED:105 SPIN:115 CONTROL:94 HARDNESS:37.5 From Andro website: Huge sound, big fun! The Beat Box among all soft rubbers! High potential for monsterspins! Impressive failure tolerance! More balls reach their destination! The ultra soft sponge leads to a longer ball contact time, in which the topsheet grips the ball to balance slight imprecisions. The new pimple system which is designed to fit to the sponge’s characteristics optimizes the playing feel and makes it easier to tap the rubber’s full potential! My review: It is glued on the BH side of my Stiga Allrond Wood NCT. I must confess it has proved to be a wise decision. Well, it has the greatest control I have ever experienced. Unbelievable. To be continued... Update 1: Incredible control. I am fond of it. It makes me topspin anything. It is quite similar to Blufire JP3 which is also a premium rubber but RB is a bit softer and slower. Great spin. Perfect rubber for your BH unless you need off+++ speed though on a speedy blade it may have it all. Anyway I returned to my standard Stiga Allroud Wood WRB which is a spin-machine and NCT is a bit stiff for me. Update 2: After two-month practise. It is a bit louder than other rubbers but nothing special sound can be heard. Am I deaf? I must underline that it can be true for my blade, Stiga Allround Wood WRB and Appelgren Allplay. Sound produced may also depend on the blade, I guess. To tell you the truth, I was expecting deafening rhythms but in vain. Anyway, it is a great BH rubber.

very light, low launch angle, the best rubber in the block, very direct, medium speed, enough control, high spin, easy topspin, recommended only for bh, nice sound, you can drive and open on the table, excellent product

Let me preface this review by saying I'm an newer player of the sport. I've been involved at my local club for a few months. I switched to an Andro CS7 Tour Off with beat on the FH and Grip on my BH from a Dawei wave stone with cool omega v. I switched because I could not control the ball with the former set up. With my current all Andro set up, I've learned better mechanics and feel, and can honestly say it's boosted my confidence on the court. I think table tennis daily said it best that this is for intermediate players looking to improve their game, not advanced players that want something super aggressive

Bought this rubber 2 weeks ago for 15 Euro in outlet. I wanted a cheap, decent, quality rubber so thought let's give this one a try after reading some good reviews and because I know that Andro produces good products. After playing some hours I am pretty happy. I play with this rubber (2.1 mm, Black) on my BH on a Andro CS7 pro. (7 plies abbachi) I had to get used to it as it was quite bouncy, but after some hours of play my impressions are good. Good control, you have a nice grip / high throw to open up on backspin, and it's not to fast, so pretty forgiven. My BH topspin is not very consistent and I need to develop it more to feel confident in Matchplay, and I have the feeling that this rubber can help me with it. For blocking and pushing this rubber works also well. I am a 1500 rated player with an allround offensive style. I prefer to play controled close to mid distance from the table. So that's why I don't use a to fast set-ups. So this rubber suits well for my type of play. The Beat sound is there indeed when you hit harder:-) So overall I am happy with this cheap buy. Recommended.

2018: I absolutely can not understand, why this rubber is given with so much spin ability. - ...but I suspect, the overall rating in this regard is out of date ! These days, there are many rubbers on the market, that produce significantly more spin, what does not change anything at the good quality of the BEAT. The sponge of the rubber is indicated with 40 degrees but the playing feel is much softer, because of his very soft top sheet! The best spin, you can generate together with full wood blades. - the spin together with synthetic fiber blades is simply too low !!! The weight of my rubbers is each 56 g uncut !!! (black, 1.9 mm and red 1.7 mm) On my blade (158 x 150 mm) each rubber 40 g . Conclusion: Very good control, enough speed und rotation for (but, too only !) beginner or allrounder !!!!!! - reviewed 07/2020 !!!!
