  • MANTRA S

    User review

    A friend of mine had this, so I got to hit with it.
    The S is the softest in the Mantra series, but hitting with it I felt how strong the sheet is.
    It doesn't have that unreliable feeling soft rubbers often have — it really grips the ball.
    It also feels different from an Airoc-type feel; it has a moderate amount of bounce and gives a clean, quirk-free feel on contact.

    In terms of raw spin and speed numbers, it falls short of harder rubbers, but I thought the balance between a sponge that holds the ball even off-balance and a sheet that's easy to spin was excellent.

    I got the impression it would work well on a shakehand backhand or the reverse side of a penhold blade.

  • MARK V HPS

    User review

    A friend of mine had it, so I got to hit with it.
    Compared to the normal Mark V, the bounce is considerably higher. The topsheet is supposedly the same as the normal version, but maybe because the sponge wraps the ball more, I got the impression that both spin and the arc of the shot were also higher.
    The value for money is good too, so I can recommend it not just to beginners but to intermediate players as well.

    I used this a little before, so I want to write about it.
    The sheet feels moist and grips the ball just the right amount, and the sponge is soft — it's a rubber focused on ease of use.
    It's not a spin-oriented tension rubber, so I can't recommend it to people looking for a lot of spin.
    However, it's not very sensitive to incoming spin and makes meeting the ball and fine technique easy, so it reliably lands on the opponent's side of the table.
    For a control-focused rubber it also has decent bounce, so junior high schoolers and women players have nothing to lose by trying it once.

    This is my impression after recently buying and hitting with it.

    First, the sweet area is impressively wide, as you'd expect. Mishits are clearly fewer than with other blades.
    I felt like this might be connected to how good the feel is too.

    It's an all-round blade that works with any rubber, so if you're a fan of wood blades, I'm sure you won't regret buying this one.
    The feel really is like the ball sticks and grips onto it. It felt like the whole blade was holding the ball.

    The blade's own bounce is on the modest side, but if you hit hard, you do get speed.
    That said, it's more the type of blade that performs by putting spin on the ball, so I got the impression that topspin drives are where the speed really comes through.

  • RASANTER R42

    User review

    These are my impressions from trying a rubber belonging to someone I regularly practice with.
    The first thing I noticed was how hard the sheet is. I was told the thickness was 1.9mm, which I think plays a part, but I really felt a strong punchy rebound.
    My impression of the topspin drive was that it grips spin easily — probably because the sheet is hard and firm, I could feel a good grip even though the sheet itself is thin.
    That said, while it's easy to put spin on, the absolute amount of spin didn't feel especially high.
    The person blocking my shots also said the ball was easy to return.
    The arc is high, and maybe because the sheet is thinner, the thick, heavy feel typical of German rubbers up to now felt a lot clearer with this one.
    However, the sheet felt very hard — even at a relatively soft 42-degree sponge it still felt firm — so I imagine the harder R47 and R50 would be tough to really sink the ball into.
    Since this is a rubber that's gotten a lot of buzz, I'm sure a lot of people are curious about it, but I think beginner and intermediate players would make fewer mistakes in their choice if they try this R42 first before trying the other Rasanters.
