    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as an ideal entry point to the Lazanta series with 45-degree hardness. The Energy Cell technology delivers spin and speed performance unexpected for a 45-degree rubber. While some users report performance degradation over several weeks of use, the high initial performance and ease of handling are widely praised.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Energy Cell delivers impressive bounce and speed for 45-degree rubber
    • Soft hardness makes it suitable for beginners to intermediate players
    • Perfect upgrade path from Rozena and Ragun
    • Stable performance in short-range techniques like chops and blocks
    • Performance tends to diminish after several weeks of use
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveI was impressed the moment I hit it. This is a great starting point for the Lazanta series. While initially the speed feels too fast, it settles nicely with consistent use. The rotation is excellent with maximum spin capability.
    ▽ CriticalThis rubber is excellent when new, but after several weeks the grip and spin characteristics change noticeably. Frequent replacements become necessary, making it too expensive to repurchase regularly.

      The surface has really strong grip on the ball, and the sponge feels like it catches the ball once and then adds energy before launching it — you can really feel the high spec.
      The ball comes off fast, so if you just block on the backhand without swinging, it turns into a straight, spinless shot.
      I felt that really sinking the ball into the sponge and adding spin was the minimum requirement to use it well.
      That said, when you do swing through, you get a fast ball with just the right trajectory.
      It might actually work better on the forehand for beginner to intermediate players.

      I'd say the best approach is to start with the Hexer Grip at the same hardness, and switch to the R45 once you feel it's not quite enough.

      UltraMax (UM), red.
      69 g→48 g
      Measured from the topsheet side with a Shore C durometer: 43.1°
      D05: 48g, 50.0°
      T05: 47g, 44.6°
      R48: 48g, 39.6°
      1. Grips the ball as well as or better than R48
      2. Pushes and stops don't pop up easily!
      3. Speed drives are easy to hit!
      This rubber is a medium-hardness rubber with a hard topsheet — something like Tibhar's Evolution EL-S feels very similar. The Rasanter series, being a German-style rubber, tends to feel unstable against underspin drives unless you swing through firmly. This R45 is no exception — I felt that driving against underspin works best with a firm swing. On the other hand, despite being a soft rubber, pushes and stops land really well on the table, which I think comes down to the topsheet's strong grip.
      I've also reviewed it on my blog, so feel free to check that out for reference.

      I was impressed the moment I hit it!
      If you want to use the Rasanter series,
      I think this is a good place to start.
      I often hear people say that "the performance drops after using it for a few weeks," but I think the reduced performance is actually its original performance.
      On the first day, the speed felt too fast and difficult to use, but after using it for a while, it settled down nicely. The spin is high at maximum, and I think the amount of spin will vary depending on the user.

      I think thick or above is the way to go for thickness.
      Power, spin, and control are all well balanced.
      No matter what shot you hit, it feels like it lands solidly on the table.
      If you want to try the Rasanter series, I think this is a good one to start with.
      It makes rallies more fun.

      Reviews by user

      I put the 2.0mm version on a Harimoto ALC at 48g.
      The sheet is hard, so it feels harder than 45 degrees, and it produces the straight, flat trajectory typical of the Rasanter series.
      On loop drives that make a high arcing trajectory, the amount of spin wasn't that much, but hitting with a lower trajectory generated more spin.
      For drives, digging into the sponge rather than just brushing the sheet produced shots that were harder for opponents to handle.
      Swinging upward still goes in, but swinging forward produces a better shot; because the trajectory is so straight there's some fear of hitting the net, but trust the rubber and swing forward.
      Also, the sponge is soft but the sheet is hard, so pushes don't float, and flicks are easy to do too.

      Against topspin, if you hit it hard it tends to fall into the net, but the speed isn't much different from the 48.
      The amount of spin on loop drives is fairly low, but it's easy to get the ball up.
      Power drives against backspin are easy to execute.
      The short game is generally easy overall too.
      Countering is easy since the ball doesn't pop up too high.
      The sheet is strong, so my counters never fell into the net.
      The lifespan isn't short either, so I don't think it's bad.
      Maybe just a bit pricey.

      Grand Duke 07 (Experience: 6〜10 years) Medium hardness

      Reviews by user

      Moderate hardness and overwhelming bounce.
      The phrase "Energy Cell technology" really stood out, and the feel left a strong impression.
      Recommended for anyone who wants more power on the ball but wants to keep the hardness down.
