Andro Rasanter C45

Liked it very much, although I switched to hybrid rubbers such as Gewo Codexx EL, but the dampening technology in Rasanter C45 is a feature to respect.

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

This one is not sticky at all, but it is barely sticky. Surface durability is poor, much worse than R. Had a bad experience with the 2.3 sponge on both forehand and backhand.

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

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

In this table tennis rubber review, C45 in black, 2.0mm thickness, played on the backhand of the Darker Esteem, 72-76g Hinoki carbon blade. The weight of C45 is: OVP: 97g, uncut: 66g, cut: 45g (156mm x 150mm).

When driving, I get a good feeling similar to the C48, the precision in ball placement is spot on. In comparison, FX-D and Aurus Select start to spread more with higher impact hardness, while C45 does less. The short game performs relatively well, the C-top-rubber absorbs energy and helps maintain short and low balls, as long as you play only with the C-top-rubber. Compared to R45: there, the catapult starts much earlier, a noticeable difference.

Even relatively aggressive pushes with a lot of spin come out very flat and good without sailing over the table.

C45 is a dream for flicks & BH openings, but it 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 to make it fit.

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.
