I used this on the backhand.
Normally I use Tenergy 05 or 05 Hard.
I glued it with Free Chack 2, and the weight was 50g — heavier than I expected.
This might partly be because I'm not used to it yet, but compared to the 05 series, the maximum spin you can get is higher with Tenergy or Dignics.
On the other hand, I felt the ball leaves the rubber faster and the trajectory is flatter.
Here are the points I felt were good compared to the 05 series:
- Blocking against drives from German-style rubbers
- Counter-driving after drawing the ball in
- Receive chiquitas
- Connecting shots and fish returns
Compared to 05 Hard, the quality of each individual ball inevitably drops a bit, but on the plus side, there was a reassuring feeling that even sloppy shots would still go in.
Of course, when you manage a strong hit properly, you get a stable, high-quality ball with plenty of spin and speed, and I felt that — a trait unique to German-style rubbers — you can produce balls with a wide range of spin variation on what looks like the same drive, almost like a knuckleball.
Also, since I use Dignics 05 on my forehand, I felt I could use the difference in ball quality between forehand and backhand as a weapon, which left a really good impression.
I strongly feel that for the average player, it's worth aiming for that synergy of using rubbers from different makers or different countries of manufacture on the forehand and backhand.
I'm actually thinking about making this my main rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

About 47-8 g.
- Higher arc than Blue Fire M1 Turbo!
- More spin than Bluestorm Z1 Turbo!
- Easy to use, and since the topsheet is on the harder side, counters were surprisingly easy.
- Chiquita and backhand drives are easy to do!- Pushes tend to float up and are hard to put spin on.
- The performance is easy to bring out, but maybe the potential is a bit lower because of that.It was easy to use and counter-driving was easy too, so I got a good impression.
It seems to be a rubber designed with Tenergy in mind more than other blue rubbers, and since the arc is quite high, I think it's easy to switch to from Butterfly rubbers.
The value for money is great overall, so if you want to save money even at the cost of some spin quality, I'd recommend switching over from Butterfly.
Hope this helps as a reference.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

54g in weight! Used on my backhand.
Key points
1. Over the table, stops, pushes, and chiquitas really do settle down like with a tacky rubber!
2. In rallies, it's fast with the quick ball-release and flat trajectory typical of the Omega 7 series!
3. Blocks, counters, connecting shots, and fish shots are all barely any harder to do!
The sheet isn't tacky, but you can definitely use it in a tacky-rubber kind of way — I'd call it a tacky-leaning tension rubber rather than a spin-leaning one.
You get shots with more speed than a tacky rubber, but compared to the 7 Tour, the ball tended to land a bit shorter for me.
That's probably just my own lack of backhand skill though.
It's not that there's no spin — both the chiquita and backhand drive come off with a spinning trajectory — but it does lose out when compared to Dig 05.
It's heavy, so I felt the 7 Tour suits the backhand better.
If you want something easier to handle than Tenergy and prioritize rallying, I think the Omega 7 series is a really solid choice!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

51g with the Ultramax sponge (R47 was 49g), used mainly on the backhand.
- Surprisingly, the max spin level felt about the same as or slightly higher than the R47, below Tenergy 05 Hard, and below Dignics 05.
- The ease of sinking the ball in is clearly different from the R47's sheet! Meaty flat hits are clearly easier compared to the R47!
- Over the table, the sponge is hard so it stays on the table better than the R47 and is easy to control!
- Still has that easy-to-handle German-rubber character!Compared to the R47, it seems like they didn't just make it harder — the sheet itself seems different too, so despite the hardness, the sheet grips the ball easily. Overall it felt a bit harder than the R47 but still easy to use.
The R47 leans more toward a V>15 Extra kind of feel, while the R50 leans more toward the clean feel of 05 Hard.
Being harder, it also has a higher max spin ceiling, while keeping that easy-to-handle German-rubber character.
Given this, I'd guess the R48 and R53 aren't just "harder" either! I felt like this is a rubber where the fun is in finding which Rasanter suits you best, if there is one.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Used Ultramax at 49g, mainly on the backhand.
A lot of reviews said it bounces a lot, but probably because of the spin-oriented pip shape, it didn't bounce as much as I expected — if anything, it was easy to create arc with, and quite manageable.
- Max spin level is above Omega VII Pro, about the same as Tenergy 05 FX, below Omega VII Tour or Tenergy 05 Hard, and clearly below Dignics 05.
- Even though it's a German rubber, it's easier to get spin by catching the ball with the sheet rather than by sinking it into the sponge for a drive.
- You need more of an impact than expected for speed drives. Because of that, the trajectory tends to curve a lot relative to its hardness.
- Typical of German rubbers, it has a matte-type sheet and is easy to use on the backhand.
My one complaint is that it's hard to get the kind of explosive power on drives that you get from sinking the ball in, like with a V>15 Extra.
But I think that can be made up for with practice.
It has a fair amount of spin while still having that easy-to-use feel typical of German rubbers, and I was quite impressed.
I'd like to compare it with other rubbers in the Rasanter R series too.
Good value for money too, it's a great rubber! Recommended!Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
