Andro Rasanter R37
Rubber description:
The Andro Rasanter R37 is a tensor rubber characterized by its soft sponge and thin, high-grip topsheet. It is engineered to provide a high level of control, making it a preferred choice for players who prioritize placement, touch, and consistency over extreme raw power.
Playing Characteristics
- Spin and Dwell Time: The soft sponge creates significant dwell time, allowing the ball to sink into the rubber for easier spin generation on serves, loops, and opening attacks. While it is highly capable of producing spin, its primary strength lies in the ease of executing these shots rather than achieving maximum rotational output.
- Speed and Catapult: The rubber features a noticeable catapult effect, particularly on light touches. It is responsive enough for mid-distance attacking but is best suited for controlled play near or at a medium distance from the table. When striking the ball with extreme force, the rubber can “bottom out” due to its softness.
- Control and Feel: Users consistently highlight its exceptional control, particularly in the short game, pushing, and blocking. It is notably less sensitive to incoming spin than many other modern attacking rubbers, which aids in stable, reliable returns.
- Feedback: The rubber provides clear tactile and auditory feedback upon contact, which helps players gauge the quality of their strokes and improve placement accuracy.
Technical Features
- Weight: The Rasanter R37 is recognized for being lightweight, which helps in reducing the overall setup weight of the paddle.
- Versatility: It performs effectively across a variety of blades, ranging from all-round to faster carbon blades. It is frequently recommended as an ideal backhand rubber or a forehand rubber for players who struggle with consistency and require a more forgiving, controllable setup.
- Construction: The combination of a thin topsheet and soft sponge creates a highly elastic surface. It is designed to work well with modern plastic balls, often exhibiting a moderate-to-high throw angle that facilitates clearing the net during top-spin rallies and blocks.

This is a soft rubber good for control and spin rotation.
#2 — June 2024
Physical:
Well-packaged in typical “modern” rubber style, this rubber has a softer feel. The top sheet is very thin with very short pips. It is extremely grippy, similar to most ESN products these days, and even has minor tackiness.
Speed:
Offers very good speed for mid-distance play and general blocking. While it may lose some speed at greater distances due to its softer nature, maintaining medium power will retain both speed and control.
Spin:
Produces very high spin with lower impact swings. One of the better European rubbers for spin at mid-distance and power, it excels in this category. While not ideal for a 3rd ball attack, it performs exceptionally well for mid-distance play.
Recommendation:
This rubber is highly recommended as a backhand (BH) option for control players who typically play one to two meters away and do not rely on extreme power hits. It offers an ideal combination of mid-distance and mid-power performance. Heavy forehand (FH) loopers and extreme flick players may find more suitable options with other rubbers.
Enjoy your table tennis!

Good controllable rubber with a lot of spin. Easy to generate spin but not very fast. A good combination with fast, hard blades.
