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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 :).

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.

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.

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.

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.
