Best Rasant/Rasanter so far! 58 degrees, feels like 47! Insane spin. Shortplay good, service. Looping round the net a few times every training. Hard, aggresive loops just above the net make it difficult for the opponents. Recommended highly!
Realy 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)
First, a little about me. I'm a senior player with a USATT rating of about 1500+ and have been playing since the early 80's. I prefer and am currently playing with inverted on both sides of my racket. Also, I am a two-winged spinner and hitter. My philosophy is spin everything you can. I play reasonably close to the table and only play away from the table when I'm forced to.
I put the Ultramax version of this rubber on a Donic Epox Power Allround balde. I also bought a sheet of the Andro Rasanter R45 Energy Cell Ultramax and put it on the backhand side so I could compare the two rubbers on the same blade.
Results: Well...I was quite surprised. The spin is absolutely fantastic! Control is ideal so pushes, open ups and serves are handled easily. Lots of punch to the rubber as well making smashes and drives a breeze. Looping is awesome putting many of my shots completely out of reach or going under someone's racket from the spin. I also found the high throw angle to suddenly bring the ball down onto the table when I thought it was going to be long even further surprising my opponent.
Final thoughts: With the Donic blade I could have easily used the R48 on both sides. Yes the R45 gives a little more control on the backhand side but the difference between these two rubbers just isn't that much. Both spin great! Also, the 48 degrees plays more like a medium to medium hard sponge hardness and not at all like the hard sponged Chinese rubbers that I've used in the recent past. I think once you get above 48 degrees you best have some really good stroke technique particularly if you plan to put the rubber on a blade with some kind of composite composition.
Give this rubber a try. Use Ultramax sponge without any fears. You'll be quite surprised!
previously I used fastarc c1 rubber on my xiom offensive s on the backhand, then I replaced it with a rasanter r48, everything really changed, very spinning spin, very good speed and control.. really like this rubber, very perfect product,good job Andro ?
El caucho se siente bastante suave tipo 45 grados, la velocidad es normal no muy alta, a pesar de tener un control decente tienes que saber pegarle técnicamente a la bola o caso contrario se queda en la net o se va fuera de la mesa, posee un giro bastante decente. Día 2 de probar esta goma definitivamente es una goma para el drive o derecha, en el back o revés no cuenta con con la consistencia y control que necesitan los jugadores que gustan de dominar el juego. Otro problema que estoy encontrando es que en algunas ocasiones si no golpeas bien se va lejos de la mesa y para el juego corto se siente como muerta la bola se cae o clava en tu propio lado voy a darle más tiempo de prueba a ver si me acostumbro mejor vale la pena recalcar que antes jugaba con XIOM omega 7 asia y R48 Comparado con O7A es mal lento tiene menos control es más suave y lo único positivo que encuentro hasta el momento es que R48 tiene más de SPIN.
4 día de entrenamiento top spin y sidespin son una locura el caucho gira y gira, Bueno y me sido convenciendo de que NO es un caucho para revés
