    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as a high-performance rubber that balances excellent spin and speed, but its hardness and weight are notable drawbacks, resulting in significantly varied evaluations depending on the player's skill level.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent balance between spin and speed at high levels
    • Hard sheet provides excellent grip and stability
    • Requires a lighter racket due to its heaviness
    • Best suited for advanced players, not beginners
    • Better control than Tenergy series
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being hard, it's surprisingly easy to use. The characteristic Lazant grip and large air bubbles in the green sponge provide stability and power to all techniques.
    ▽ CriticalVery hard and heavy; difficult to handle without the ability to apply spin yourself, making it unsuitable for beginners.

      Reviews by user

      It's hard. But I was surprised at just how easy it is to use!
      The grip on the ball that's characteristic of Rasant, combined with the large bubble structure of the green sponge, brings stability and power to every technique!
      As for weaknesses, the only thing I can really think of is that it's heavy!
      That said, the feel is quite hard, so I'd recommend a softer rubber for the backhand!

      Lasagna (Experience: 4〜5 years) The best so far

      Reviews by user

      Used on my backhand.
      My first impression was that it bounces a lot.
      Once you get used to it, it starts to feel like the ball is really yours when you hit it.
      You can clearly switch between hitting flat and putting spin on it. It adapts well to different situations.
      Stops bite well, and pushes bite well too.
      I found grazing shots a bit hard to pull off. If you focus on letting the ball sink into the sponge, you can hit shots with both great power and spin.
      The lifespan is on the shorter side, about 4 weeks.

      Sho-go (Experience: 11〜20 years) Good balance

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is being discontinued now that the Rasanter series has launched, but it's a good rubber.
      It's the kind of rubber that makes you think, "couldn't they have kept this one around?"

      It has the green sponge familiar from the Rasant series, with fairly coarse cell structure and a sheet color that's a dark, cloudy tone.
      The sheet has relatively strong rebound, and the arc is also more subdued compared to the newest rubbers.
      Compared to Power Grip or Grip from the same series, it generates less spin.
      However, the balance between spin and rebound is excellent, to the point where you could argue that its power on hard hits is the best in the series.
      Now that balls are plastic, it tends to rebound too much with an outer-carbon blade, so pairing it with an inner-carbon type blade should give it a nicer balance.
      There's no shot it struggles with — topspin drives, meets, flicks, stops — it's a really well-balanced rubber, and honestly it's sad that it's being discontinued.

      Having tried the whole Rasant lineup, I think this rubber has the best overall balance. It suits any playing style and is perfect for an all-rounder.

      Reviews by user

      It's just plain hard.
      I think it's usable if you're at least playing at the city-tournament level.
      On serves it tends to float and doesn't take much spin.
      If you can't generate your own spin, you won't be able to handle this one.
      Not suited for beginners.
      That said, the speed is similar to Tenergy.
      The control is good, so I think this is a good choice for someone who prioritizes speed.

      I think the original Rasant is one of the rubbers that made andro famous, and it's pretty well known! Speed and spin are both at a high level at the same time, but it's fairly heavy, so I think it's safest to pair it with a lighter blade!

      It really flies. I had a lot of overshoots across the board - topspin drives, pushes, blocks, all of it.
      The ball-holding feel is on the longer side for how high-rebound it is, and it's easy to control among tension rubbers, so I can see why advanced players like it.
      I ordered the 1.9mm, but even so it flew too much close to the table.
      I think the grip on the ball is good. Pushes also come out low, which is nice.
      Topspin drives brushed with a lifting motion fly upward and travel far, so topspin rallies were easy.
      You need to practice your ball touch to cut down on overshoots, but since working adults can't always secure regular practice time, I felt the Mercury 2 WRM suited me better.
      One thing that bothered me is that hit marks stayed on the rubber surface and it got bumpy.
      By the next day it had gone back to flat, so that might just be a trait of the coarse-cell sponge.
      The sound off the rubber is a satisfying crack.
