Our notes: Around 64g uncut; The faster version of the R42 and a step harder in overall feel. Excellent for players who drives and smashes more than looping. Medium low arc when looping with above average spin. An excellent blocking rubber for both backhand and forehand.
• Your profile is speed driven. You score flat, fast and without any detour. • As a mid to high level player you will benefit from the medium soft 42° sponge compensating smaller sweet spot inaccuracies of your stroke. • Be confident and take the risk of fast strokes describing the today‘s offensive semi-distance play. • The V42 will increase your sweet spot minimising scatter losses even at high speed play.

super rubber .. i am using with DHS pg7 blade. Previously i was having Mark V and hurricane 3 on Pg7. So i can say it pretty faster than Mark V. AND i have Aurus prime and 5Q rubber on Samsonov Pro black blade, but Andro rasant V42 feels faster with pg7 than 5Q on Samsonov blade. This rating i have given by comparing to mark V

Using 2.0mm on backhand on a Yasaka Sweden Extra blade. Very good for launching top spin attacks. Able to generate plenty of spin on serves. Excellent control and feeling. Very consistent. Good also for pushing and in defence. Good close to table and further away. Plenty fast enough to finish points. Super backhand rubber.

The rubber Adam Bobrow (in 2019) chooses to use on both wings. I tried it on my Nittaku Acoustic and Andro Wanokiwami AO OFF. Spin similar to Vega Europe with a very slightly lower throw angle, but V42 is faster and with a thicker sponge. Lifting heavy backspin I'd prefer higher throw, but if you're after a lower/medium throw angle, decent control, med/soft sponge with good speed, then it's a solid choice. Possibly plays a bit like Hexer+ but with a thicker sponge and thinner top sheet - more zing. However it's been a few years since I've used Hexer+, and on a different blade... I agree with 'Alvinspin' review about it being enjoyable for smashes, and any form of well struck top spin counters, ideally above the table as there isn't much in the way of net clearance for below table loops. Top sheet is of very high quality and likely harder than say a Hexer+ top sheet, so durability shouldn't be an issue, while sponge seems solid enough for it's duro of 42 degrees.

Excellent BH rubber ! Used on an OFF- blade. I used the Max 2.3 and found it easy to keep the ball on the table and was able with the right stroke to generate good power and speed on those shots. Lifting Back Spin was easy and serves had plenty of spin.
