Es un caucho que proporciona una eficiente combinación de efecto y velocidad, hace fácil levantar bolas con una técnica simple de topspin, un buen caucho.

I used Viscaria ALC with DI rubber. It’s a very good combination that suits my style well. DI is the best rubber after Tenergy and Dignics, and it’s the best rubber for the price. I use max thickness on the forehand and 2.0mm on the backhand.

Review: R50 2.0 mm red and black on Joola Vyzaryz Trinity.

Ratings:

  • Blocking: 10/10
  • Looping: 9.5/10
  • Countertopspin: 9.7/10
  • Serving: 9.5/10
  • Receiving: 9/10
  • Spin Sensitivity: 9/10 (not super reactive)
  • Speed: 9.2/10 (between G-1 and T05)
  • Power: 10/10 (bottoming out doesn’t happen when adding power to other shots)
  • Control: 9.5/10 (on the right blades)

Characteristics:

  • Dwell time is between T05 and T05 Hard.
  • Better rotation capabilities, less sensitive to spin.
  • A tad slower than T05 on base shots but has a higher speed reserve.
  • This rubber tends to work well on mid-hard or hard-feeling blades with a mild amount of flex.
  • Very good on all-wood blades all the way to stiffer blades like Zhang J ZLC.

Bought it to replace Victas Ventus Extra since this has hardness 50 and Victas is 47.5. I use it as my FH, and it’s a great rubber—easy to handle the underspin and lots of power.

One small issue I noted is that the rubber gets very damp/wet when the humidity is high. When that happens, you have to hit the ball very hard, or the ball directly goes to the net. Doesn’t happen to Victas, and you can’t use your hand to wipe 'cuz the rubber surface is so wet.

But overall, a great rubber. I might try R53 next time.

Played in 2.0 on several blades. Works well with carbon blades and wood blades. Needs blades that have a medium or mid-high throw angle to be consistently safe without pressure mounting on technical strokes. Drives, blocks, counters, and loops well. Serve, receive, and flipping were a bit harder and less consistent, perhaps due to the slightly strong catapult effect when on the table. Very spinny rubber. Best suited for blades like Barwell Fleet, Stiga Rosewood V, Fang Bo B2X, or any other mid-stiff blade with med-high throw. Mid throw and longer trajectory than R53 or R47 in my experience. If you wanted a bit more dwell time but liked G-1 before, this is a G-1 with more dwell and power. No major issues that are unwarranted from user error.

This rubber I took for my friend; he is very happy and is using [it] for his back, and the result is excellent.

#8 — July 2022

Very fast for me, but an experienced player just loved it.

#9 — March 2022

Очень доволен приобретением. Универсальная накладка со средней жесткостью губки. По долговечности пока сказать ничего не могу, так как играю ей сравнительно недавно. Хороший контрольный блок и легко начинать первый ход. Сейчас использую на основании V-14 Pro. Хорошо села, по ощущениям лучше, чем Омега 7 Евро (которая воспринимается сверхмягкой на данном основании).

R50 2.0 mm on Tibhar Drinkhall Powerspin Carbon. Blistering speed, power reserves that sound like you’re hitting wood every time, but the ball does not bottom out. Super easy to block with, easy to flick with, and makes backspin by even good pushers or choppers seem like novices. I found it does have a bit of trouble in the serving department; receives have above-average control for the speed of this rubber. It seems to be a Mark V level of control when you want to keep the ball on the table, but it’s super fast, and then T05 on steroids on the back burner waiting to counter, open, or just outright blast through your opponents with heavy spin and safe arcs on 95% of my shots. This is like a safe alternative to T05 with better control, the same spin, a slightly safer arc, and it is easier to punch through the ball without dumping the ball. TLDR: better than T05 with more speed, control, and at least the same spin. Easy to loop, block, push/chop, counter, flick, and brush. Serves are a bit tough to get used to, but you can do it if you relax and brush the ball.

Thanks for the excellent service table tennis. The rubber is of high quality. It grips the ball well.

#12 — December 2020

Second best to R48.

#13 — September 2020

Rubbers are very good!

#14 — July 2020

Las gomas andan muy bien. Yo usaba Tenergy 05 FX y me fui de Butterfly por el precio. Son gomas buenas, las recomiendo mucho más para el revés. Muy buen giro y control.

#15 — April 2020

I’ve been using this rubber on a Novacell OFF for quite some time now. On the forehand, this thing is great. I am able to generate massive spin on loops close and far away from the table. There is also quite a lot of speed, and I am able to easily put the ball past my opponent. Serving is great, but tacky Chinese rubbers are better for it.

#16 — April 2020

Ticks all the boxes for a great attacking rubber. I use it in 2mm as a bh rubber on Stiga Clipper WRB. Fast, lots of spin, and great control. I use R47 on the forehand. Sometimes twiddle, but that’s the general setup. It is very durable and actually seems to improve the more you use it.

#17 — February 2020

Need good technique to unleash the potential of this excellent rubber from Andro! One of the best I have ever used for my aggressive forehand attack.

#18 — February 2020

Este caucho me gusta mucho, me lo recomendó un amigo que vino de Cuba y juega a un buen nivel; me dijo que el actual campeón de Cuba lo usa. ¡Recomendado!

#19 — February 2020

Накладки Andro Rasanter R50 качественные, быстрые — уже несколько раз покупал для себя и для друзей! Рекомендую!

#20 — January 2020

This rubber is an absolute beast. The speed is simply amazing. I put it on an Innerforce alc, and it was incredibly fast and spinny. Way faster and spinnier than tenergy 05.

I think that rasanters are game changers. If you are seeking a tenergy 05 try this rubber. This is not an alternative, though—this is better.

#21 — July 2019

This rubber has very good control and good speed, but is a little bit slower than the V47 or Velocity version. I’m using a Butterfly Primorac Carbon OFF+, and I can give back almost everything easily with much spin, but sometimes I want more speed.

Excellent for players who want speed and much control too.

#22 — June 2019

It is very fast, the same as T05, but more spin. Great control. Of course, I still prefer the R47, mostly Black as it is a bit slower but has lots of spin.

#23 — May 2019

Great rubber! I have been using it on my backhand for 3 months and switched it to my forehand a couple of weeks ago.
It’s quite fast, has a lot of spin, and has very good control considering how fast the rubber is.
The only thing I don’t like about it is the receives; it’s definitely harder to return than with R47.
Overall, it’s a great rubber.

#24 — April 2019

Has good control due to the thin top sheet. You can feel the ball gripped by the rubber, but you need to have faster strokes. This is a more advanced rubber for fast swing speeds. You need to be able to compress the sponge to get the full benefit. Not too good for serves, tho.

#25 — March 2019

Быстрая, хорошо управляемая накладка, хорошо вращает, но и в плоской игре тоже не подведет. На жестких основаниях может оказаться слишком быстрой.

#26 — January 2019

Good combination with 190 Stiga shakehand forehand. Able to create spinny returns.

#27 — January 2019

Easy to control with speed.

#28 — December 2018

Отличная накладка для мощной агрессивной игры, но срок службы не очень.

#29 — November 2018

In my opinion, this rubber is a BEAST. It is way faster than Tenergy, and spin is a cakewalk with this rubber.

#30 — November 2018

Rubber not for beginners! I tried the Rasanter R50 2.0mm red on Garaydia ALC and the Max version on the Fire Fall VC.

With this rubber, you can impart a huge amount of spin on opening loops by brushing the ball so much; I’ve never seen other rubbers give this much spin. Compared to Rasanter R47, the R50 provides more spin also in services and is better on counter-loops over the table.

The trajectory in topspins is not long, and you will always find the table (e.g., the Donic Z1 has a longer trajectory). Pushes are uncomfortable for the opponent because the backspin is very high.

I have tried many rubbers like Z1, Z2, EL-S, MX-S, MX-P, Aurus Prime, Joola Rhyzer 48 and Pro 50, Omega VII Pro, Omega V Tour and Pro, Mizuno Q3, etc., and for me, this is the best overall. Some other rubbers are better in counterloops or services, but this is the most balanced for me. Bye everybody :).

#31 — September 2018

It is not for beginners. You need to have more experience to use this rubber.

#32 — August 2018

Very good rubber for looping; control is good too.

#33 — July 2018

Very good, especially with less stiffness in the top layer of the blade.

#34 — March 2018

Best rubber for me. Front rubber.

#35 — March 2018

Trying to replace Rasant Powergrip on all my 14 or so paddles will not be easy because Andro is phasing it out slowly. Rasanter 50 is an excellent choice, besides being an Andro product, it is also made by ESN, both my favorites. I have R50 glued on an Yin He N-9, not the newer version N-9S. Andro R50 has good power, speed, and spin, which is what you should expect in a good offensive rubber. And 50 degrees is just perfect for boosting with Tempo Long Term Booster. I hope my review was helpful.

#36 — January 2018

Very nice rubber. I can do many spins, and when I need the power, it’s got it. I love it. The control on this rubber is great for pushes and off-table play. Great rubber for medium players.

#37 — August 2017

This is a very good rubber to use, especially on the backhand (BH). This rubber is perfectly made for fighting against the plastic ball and can generate huge amounts of spin and speed while having great control.

However, I wouldn’t advise a beginner to buy this rubber. It is more suited for people with good technique.

This rubber makes BH topspin against backspin very easy. It wouldn’t seem as if there was backspin by the amount of spin it can create. So very good rubber, but it’s for more advanced players.

#38 — May 2017

Great rubber. Easy to lift heavy backspin, and the sound of the sweet spot is great (“tong, tong”). It has a great sound. The rubber itself is very fast without losing any feeling or control whatsoever. I really recommend this rubber to experienced players who can really enjoy its quality. By the way, this is a tensor rubber and the info should be updated ASAP. After further testing, I have realized that this rubber has one weakness, which is serves.
