The Andro Rasant Beat is a standout table tennis rubber that combines a soft sponge and a well-engineered topsheet, making it an ideal choice for players seeking exceptional control and precision. With an impressive control rating of 9.3, it has gained recognition among players of various skill levels, particularly for those refining their techniques. The ultra-soft sponge not only enhances dwell time, allowing for better ball feedback, but also contributes to a reliable grip on the ball, making topspin play intuitive and forgiving.
When it comes to tackiness, the Rasant Beat has a low score of 1.7, indicating it possesses a fairly slick surface that favors spin over sheer stickiness. Players report achieving impressive spin ratings of 9.1 along with good speed at 8.8, though these metrics might be more suited to intermediate and control-oriented players rather than aggressive attackers. The overall low launch angle of the rubber can be a double-edged sword; while it enhances direct shots, it may require adaptation in one’s stroke execution to accommodate.
Weighing in at a medium level of 2.9, the Rasant Beat maintains nimbleness during play without compromising on durability, rated at 8.5. This dependable lifespan makes it a sound investment for players looking to develop their skills without the frequent need for replacements. Alternative options to consider might include softer rubbers like the Tenergy series or the Donic Baracuda, each with unique characteristics suited to different playing styles. In summary, the Rasant Beat is a highly regarded rubber that elegantly balances control, spin, and durability, appealing especially to those focused on honing their backhand strokes.
Bought this rubber 2 weeks ago for 15 Euro in an outlet. I wanted a cheap, decent quality rubber, so I thought I’d give this one a try after reading some good reviews and because I know that Andro produces good products.
After playing for some hours, I am pretty happy. I play with this rubber (2.1mm, Black) on my backhand on an Andro CS7 Pro. (7 plies abbachi) I had to get used to it as it was quite bouncy, but after some hours of play, my impressions are good.
Good control, you have a nice grip / high throw to open up on backspin, and it’s not too fast, so it’s pretty forgiving. My backhand topspin is not very consistent, and I need to develop it more to feel confident in matchplay, and I have the feeling that this rubber can help me with it. For blocking and pushing, this rubber also works well.
I am a 1500-rated player with an all-round offensive style. I prefer to play controlled close to mid-distance from the table. That’s why I don’t use too fast set-ups. This rubber suits my type of play well. The beat sound is there when you hit harder.
So overall, I am happy with this cheap buy.

The sponge of the rubber is indicated as 40 degrees, but the playing feel is much softer due to its very soft top sheet. The best spin can be generated with full wood blades, as the spin with synthetic fiber blades is simply too low.
