Andro Rasant Powersponge
Rubber description:
This rubber is a tensor characterized by a soft-to-medium-soft sponge that prioritizes control, spin consistency, and a distinctively low throw angle. It is widely regarded as a reliable option for players seeking a balanced game, particularly on the backhand side, where it excels at redirection and stability during counter-topspin rallies.
Playing Characteristics
- Spin and Dwell Time: The rubber offers high spin potential for looping and opening against backspin. While it provides excellent grip for spin creation, some users find it requires an active stroke technique to fully engage the sponge due to its softer feel.
- Speed and Throw Angle: It is not an exceptionally fast rubber; it relies on controlled, precise play rather than raw power. Its most defining feature is its low throw angle, which aids in consistency when blocking and playing fast, direct shots close to the table, though it may require adjustments when lifting heavy underspin.
- Control and Versatility: It is highly praised for its short-game performance, including precise flicking, serving, and easy, reliable blocking. The rubber provides high feedback and a balanced feel, making it suitable for mid-distance loops where accuracy is preferred over maximum speed.
- Durability: It is noted for maintaining its performance characteristics over an extended period, making it a reliable choice for players who prefer not to change their equipment frequently.

Review:
I got this rubber for my backhand. My backhand is pretty weak, so I hoped the low throw angle would help me. And I was right! The throw angle is very low, compared to my Evolution FX-P. This makes fast play close to the table without any spin very easy and effective. Directing the ball becomes natural.
What about topspin? Topspins on underspin balls are a bit difficult at the beginning, because of the low reject. I have to use my shoulders more than before. But they are very spinny and hard to block! Topspins from mid-distance to far from the table are easy. You can put all the power you want in your ball, and it will always go on the table! The low throw angle makes blocks very effective.
To sum up, this rubber has a very low throw angle, good spin and control, maybe even more than Evolution FX-P. The speed is not insane, but itâs still fast. Overall, itâs a good rubber.
Update: Finally, my backhand has improved a bit. Iâm more regular on my loops and topspins, and theyâre more effective too. After comparing it with my forehand rubber (Rasante Grip), I find the reject to be medium-low to medium. This rubber has really helped me to improve my backhand stroke. Itâs sad that its production is over. I hope Iâll find a similar rubber, maybe the all-new V42.
Durability: Iâve had this rubber for 7 months and the quality has practically not decreased. So far, this is the most durable tensor I have owned, after the Samba+.

Perfect combination of spin and control.

I use this rubber on my backhand on an all+ blade. This rubber has good speed and is amazing at blocking, possibly the best blocking rubber Iâve used. Looping is really good.
It lasts a very long time before it dies. After that, itâs pretty much useless. However, flicking is easy, and I can lift backspin really easily in loops. Nice job Andro :).
