Andro Rasant

Rubber description:

The Andro Rasant is a high-performance table tennis rubber that is widely regarded as one of the best on the market. It is known for its exceptional speed, spin, and control, making it a popular choice among offensive-minded players.

Rubber Tackiness: The Rasant has a relatively low tackiness, which means it is less “sticky” than some other tensor rubbers. This can take some getting used to, but it also allows for excellent control and consistency.

Rubber Weight: The Rasant is considered a medium-weight rubber, with a sponge thickness of 2.1mm. This provides a good balance of power and control.

Rubber Durability: Reviews indicate that the Rasant is quite durable, maintaining its performance characteristics over an extended period of use.

Rubber Alternatives: For players looking for a similar high-performance rubber, the Andro Rasant Turbo and Andro Rasant Grip are potential alternatives. However, the original Rasant is widely considered the benchmark for aggressive and technically capable players.

Rasapt Review

This rubber is an excellent option for backhand play. It generates tremendous amounts of spin for loops while maintaining a high speed, making it ideal for powerful smashes.

Durability and Performance Over Time

After extensive use over four months, with six hours of play per week, the rubber continues to perform admirably despite varying temperatures. Remarkably, it seems to have improved over time, exhibiting even greater spin than when initially purchased.

Conclusion

The Rasant is highly recommended for players seeking a fast and spinny non-tacky rubber. Its exceptional performance and durability make it a top choice.

Update 16/06/2019

To my dismay, the Rasant was discontinued despite its popularity. For years, it was my go-to rubber, and it remains the closest thing I’ve found to Tenergy in terms of performance while offering consistent durability.

An amazing backhand rubber with superb control and speed.

#3 — April 2018

Switched to this from Vega Pro and P7. Well, some of my loops just drop into the net. But when it passes the net, the spin is amazing. With previous rubbers, looping was easier. Counterloops and smashing is where this rubber shines.

Maybe after a few sessions, it will become more dwell for better chop looping.
