Customer review for Andro Rasanter R50

Review by guest_44c4dzyg (Verified Customer) for Andro Rasanter R50 on March 29, 2020

I have this in 2.0 Red on my backhand (R53 2.0 on my forehand). I use a Donic Waldner Offensive 2016 blade.

This is fantastic for the backhand. Although, I think that may only be true for those with top level technique on the backhand. It feels softer than you may think. It is fantastic for the Waldner signature backhand down the line block. This has more control than you might think. And boy, you should see the crazy arc when you really shape an attacking backhand. While being 50 degrees, you could still easily loop with it, I'd say. And you'd be amazed at the serious spin you can achieve while doing so too. But, for anybody with a Waldner style backhand block and topspin backhand, this is the rubber for you. This beats the MX-P and Aurus Prime. And this is right up there with Tenergy 05 and Dignics 05, if you're someone who uses either of those on the backhand. And this is HALF the price. Plus, to me it's as if this has the best qualities from Tenergy 05 and Dignics 05, but while also having a bit more spin and a bit better feeling, as this feels as if it has a softer sponge than it actually does. Perhaps this just gives the illusion of dwell, and that is actually a good thing. That's because you get the sensation of dwell, but with the catapult of Tenergy 05 or Dignics 05 still. This allows for the same, or more power, and I would assume, more control than the others. Also, this has a delightful sound. I would recommend using an all-wood blade though. Carbon fiber is simply unnecessary for this. Plus, you really want to feel as much of the vibration as you can with this too. Use a fast, all-wood offensive blade with this and you will love it
