Andro Rasanter C45

Liked it very much. Although I switched to hybrid rubbers such as gewo codexx EL, the damper tech in Rasanters c45 is a feature to respect.

I’ve been using this rubber for the first time a month ago, and it meets my expectations.

It is not sticky at all, but this one is barely sticky. Surface durability is bad, much worse than R. Bad experience with 2.3 sponge both on forehand and backhand.

Good rubber, high spin, good control, speed is fine, but it is heavy for a soft rubber.

Çok iyi bir lastik. BH için harika, FH için de kullanılabilir.

To C45, black, 2.0mm, played on backhand of Darker Esteem, 72-76g Hinoki carbon blade. Masses C45: OVP: 97g, uncut: 66g, cut 45g (156mm x 150mm).

When driving, I have a good feeling as with the C48, the precision in placing the balls is right. As a comparison: FX-D and Aurus Select start to spread more with higher impact hardness, C45 does less. The short game works relatively well, the C-top-rubber absorbs energy and helps keep the balls short and low, as long as you play only with the C-top-rubber. Comparison to R45: there the catapult starts much earlier, noticeable difference.

Even relatively “aggressively” pushes with a lot of spin come very flat and good without sailing over the plate.

C45 is a dream for flicks & BH-openings, but the C45 already has a bit too much catapult for me, which means I have to be careful when blocking (closing the blade face) and often have to reduce the impact hardness of BH-topspins so that it fits.

Conclusion: I really like the C-top-rubber from Andro, lots of spin possible. A C45 with less catapult in the sponge would probably be ideal for my RH, and in green; -) C45 is very suitable for spiny serves, flips on or over the table, and playing from half-distance with short arm movements. Less suitable for blocking at the table.
