I put on the 2.1 and used it, and it flew way too much lol
For someone past the beginner stage, I thought it flew too much (better not to be greedy with the sponge thickness).
It also gets decent spin, so that's good.
It's fairly hard, so you get a better ball by hitting into it rather than brushing. If you like to brush, I think SFX is the better choice.
Being German-made, sure enough the lifespan is about a month, lol.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is a review of the 2.1mm version on the backhand.
Drive: Spins well, but the speed feels a bit lacking compared to today's spin-oriented tension rubbers.
Block: You can feel it right in your hand, and it's really easy to do.
Short game: Since the rubber is on the harder side, pushes come out low and sharp.
Overall: I felt it suits a playing style that pushes the opponent back with spin.
I'd recommend using it on the backhand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Currently using Power Grip on the forehand and Grip on the backhand.
Even at 47.5 degrees, it seemed usable on the backhand too. That said, Grip feels more manageable and stable overall. This one bounces more than Grip and gives more power. It's stable enough that you can swing with confidence. The grip is so good that pretty much any serve goes in as long as you close the racket face and swing through. It's also easy to lift backspin. And even when your form breaks down, as long as you can swing, the sheet holds the ball, so it still goes in properly. That said, you still get more stability and power when you really sink the ball in.
Overall, this might be the best-performing rubber in this price range. Even people using rubbers in the 5,000-6,000 yen range, I think it's worth trying.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I have this on the forehand side of my STIGA Infinity VPS V.
Before this I had Rigan Spin (max thickness) on. It felt a bit soft for my forehand, so I took the plunge and switched to this rubber at 47.5 degrees.With Rigan Spin, hitting hard gave that feel of hitting the wood, with a high-pitched sound, but after switching to this rubber, unless I'm going all-out on a speed drive or smash, I can actually feel the sheet and sponge.
The feel is hard. The sponge is hard, but the sheet itself doesn't feel hard. Brushing drives grip the sheet solidly, and drives that sink into the sponge also feel reassuring.
It feels more like the sponge is sending the ball off, rather than the wood.The short game felt almost the same as with Rigan Spin. What I did notice a difference in was that pushes now grip the sheet and come back low and sharp.
Unlike the enveloping feel of Rigan Spin, this one needs real swing speed, but even with my limited skill, it responds well.

andro's rubbers have a distinctive feel that gets addictive. That squishy sensation on drives is amazing.
- A distinctive mushy, squishy feeling of the ball sinking in (shared with R48)
- When you make light contact, it sinks in on its own, so you're not sure where the ball will fly off to
— those were the things I noticed.
Shorts and blocks also sink in in that mushy way, which has the benefit of absorbing shock, but I felt there's also a downside of losing power. So I can't really recommend it for a penhold looper who relies heavily on shorts and smashes, or a style built around lightly redirecting the ball… A rubber with a harder sheet would give sharper shots and be easier to control, I think.
On the other hand, if you can drive properly, the rubber holds the ball on its own even when your form gets stretched, so I think it's extremely stable.
I ended up switching to Ventus Extra, but if I weren't playing Japanese penhold, I'd pick this rubber for my forehand.
Recommended for people who find R48 too fast to handle.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

People who found the egg they were looking for Not that different from Rasanter

As the title says, the performance was pretty close to Rasanter. If anything, Rasanter flies a little more and gets a bit more spin... that's about the only difference.
If you're going to buy a Rasanter, I'd definitely recommend this one instead. (For beginner-to-intermediate players.)
This time I put the Power Grip 1.9 on my backhand. Compared to Rakza 7 max thickness, it feels about 3-4 grams heavier. The drawback is the weight. But the advantages make up for that drawback. Let me list the advantages.
Advantage 1: It flies when you want it to fly, and it stays on the table when you want to hold back.
Advantage 2: It spins about as much as Rasanter, and it's easier to generate spin with than any Rasanter besides the Energy Cell version.
Advantage 3: By changing the sponge thickness, it suits everyone from beginners to advanced players.
Advantage 4: With this level of performance you'd expect it to cost 5,000 yen, but it's actually 4,000!! Way too good a deal.
Advantage 5: You can hold your own well enough against advanced players (like Tenergy users).
Advantage 6: The arc is high and it feels stable.
As you'd expect from andro's latest plastic-ball rubber. It holds its own against other makers' top-tier rubbers.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Comparison with the SFX in the same series
Since the hardness is higher, you get more power on the ball.
The spin is plenty too, and blocks tend to carry through well. Of course, dead blocks are easy too.
If you're using SFX and want a bit more power, I'd suggest trying this one.Obviously, with the higher hardness it's heavier too... but it's heavier than I expected, and that's a drawback.
Maybe because I personally lack power, it doesn't make as sharp a "ping" sound as SFX (not as high-pitched).
Still, performance-wise it's high level, and just like SFX, it's worth more than the price.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
