Andro Rasanter C45

The Andro Rasanter C45 is a hybrid rubber featuring specialized dampening technology within the sponge. Designed with a focus on high spin generation and placement precision, this rubber excels in short-game control, flicking, and backhand opening shots. The top-sheet is characterized by a subtle, light tackiness that assists in producing heavy spin on serves and pushes, while maintaining a flat, controlled trajectory.

Performance Characteristics

• Spin and Touch: Capable of producing high spin levels, particularly during serves and close-to-the-table attacking strokes. The energy-absorbing top-sheet helps dampen incoming pace, allowing for effective short play and keeping the ball low over the net.
• Speed and Catapult: The sponge provides a moderate level of catapult. While this facilitates power from mid-distance with compact arm movements, it requires active blade-angle adjustment during passive blocking to prevent the ball from launching too high or long.
• Handling: Its performance is optimized for technical play like flips and BH-openings. Compared to non-dampening series, it offers higher precision during drives, maintaining stability even when stroke intensity increases.

Due to the nature of its sponge and dampening construction, the C45 is relatively heavy for its softness category. It is highly suitable for players prioritizing spin-oriented attacking styles, though it may require a period of adjustment for those who rely heavily on passive blocking, as the catapult effect necessitates intentional contact and closure of the blade face.
