  • RASANTER V42

    User review

    This rubber sits right in the middle of the six-rubber Rasanter lineup. It's designed to emphasize a balance of spin, control, and speed, and it suits the backhand. Even if your blocking angle is slightly off, it can still keep the ball in the opponent's court.
    If you're using it on the forehand, I think it's also good for women, kids, or beginners trying a tension rubber for the first time as their second rubber.

    This is a review using the Chinese penhold style (long pips on forehand, inverted on backhand).

    [Speed]
    There's a big speed gap between blocking to stop the ball and switching to attack with a meet-hit or push, which lets me play exactly the way I intend to.

    [Spin]
    The top ply is on the harder side, so it's easy to bring out the variation with long pips.

    [Control]
    The core is soft, and the ball release is neither too fast nor too slow — it's really spot-on. Whether it's the short game, meet-hits, or pushes, there's no technique that feels hard to execute.

    [Feel]
    It's unique enough that it's hard to put into words. I've borrowed and hit with blades from various makers through practice partners, but this is a feel I've never experienced before. When you meet-hit the ball, it makes a distinctive "kashun" sound. I think this is a point where opinions will be completely split.

    [Who it's for]
    People who want to actively bring attacking play into their long-pips game. The manufacturer lists it as ALL type, so it's not a defense-only blade, and it's hard to call it low-throw either. If you're looking for a blade that pairs well with the high-performance German long-pips rubbers that are trendy right now, this is a gem you should really try at least once.

  • Def play Senzo

    User review

    The Chinese-penhold version of the Defplay Senso, which has become a major chopper's blade, worked well for penhold long pips too.
    The feel on contact leans soft, holds the ball well, and offers great control. It's also easy to get spin on backhand shots and serves.
    Since I like to attack proactively, and the blade itself has low bounce, I felt it was better to use long pips with a tension-type sponge, like Glass D.TecS or Piranha Formula Tec, to make sure my pushes had enough speed.

    I'd recommend this to anyone just starting out in table tennis.
    Since it doesn't fly too much, you can learn to send the ball with your own swing, and the feel is soft, so it's easy to control and rallies keep going.
    If you start feeling this racket isn't enough for you, that's when you know you've improved.

    It's a defensive blade with a feel that has no quirks and excellent control. I'd recommend it to anyone who's built up some fundamentals in table tennis and is thinking about switching to playing as a chopper.
