Andro Rasant Grip

For my style of game (All/OFF; USATT ~2000) this is the best FH rubber so far (tried 80, 05FX, Calibra LT). Medium throw. Excellent crisp feel both in topspins as well as short game. Decent smashes (medium hard sponge). Very spinny (fantastic for serves). Fast (~Tenergy 05FX) but not crazy fast. Very good control. I don't think this is a rubber for the all out attacker (who would find it a little bit to slow, unless it is on a very fast blade). The most negative point: it is heavy (15% heavier than a Stiga Calibra LT; similar or slightly heavier than a Tenergy rubber). In my opinion, this is a significantly spinnier, less expensive and more durable substitute for T80.

Great for forehand or backhand. I play combination bat and flip a lot. Loops and drives from both sides are great spin, great control, and great ball curve.

I got this rubber on my FH because I wanted something faster than the powersponge version. This was a winning move. It has a ton of control, the same low throw angle that I like and has more muscle than the powersponge. The spin is as everyone else is pointing out: incredible. The short game is very good and opening loops are really easy. And there's plenty of speed to finish the point. I used this rubber in MAX on an OFF- blade. The only thing odd I found is that there comes a point where the rubber is worn out but doesn't look that bad. Overall this is a fantastic rubber for the offensive-minded player who likes his/her occasional drop shot and short serve return.

Awesome for intermediate to advanced players who play a topspin attack game. Best rubber I have ever played with. My absolute favourite. Got it in 1.9mm on my backhand and it's just great. Control breaks the laws of physics, it's almost impossible to miss. The speed is fast, but easy to control due to the medium sponge. Easy enough to finish the point with. I cannot express in words how much spin this rubber has. Flicks, pushes, loops, counters, blocks, drop shots and smashes are all unbelievably easy. Andro have cracked the game with this one. Like it says in their catologue - 'test the laws of physics'. Way better than tenergy as it is more versatile and forgiving than it. Even chopping is great if you catch it right - you can put some amazing backspin on the ball. This rubber deserves to be top of the market. So go ahead, buy it and take your game to the next level.

28.10.2014: I have played only 4 hours with Rasant Grip when writing this. Anyway compared to the original Rasant this is slower and I can control rallies much better and I have no problems in short game or in blocking as I had sometimes with original Rasant. 6.11.2014: I put original Rasant and Rasant Grip to the same blade and used that racket couple of hours. That made the problems (that I mentioned above) of the original Rasant very clear and Rasant Grip did not have those problems. But I can imagine, that somebody else do not have those problems with original Rasant either. The problem did not come from the speed difference. I have just used to rubbers, that have more simple way of working.
