R47 is softer than the R50 that I use on my forehand, but with its medium sponge still made for good players. My backhand was never as good as my forehand, and to keep a bit of control I need a rubber just a bit softer.

With 47 degrees Rasanter R47 still has a lot of power and catapult. But indeed it is easier to control.

This is one of the favourite rubbers for many players, because the speed is high and the spin reserve is also good. This leads to a very good compromise.

R50 is the hardest of the Rasanter series. Normally, it is more orientated to top players. You need already a good technique and quite much power in your stroke to use it. Otherwise it is hard to wake up all the spin and speed inside.

If you have such a technique, you can have in response the huge spin that it can deliver. I love it!
People who already saw me playing and know my game know that, in forehand, I am gripping a lot the ball to give it maximum spin. This is the perfect rubber for that.

All over the speed glue era I played with blades without any synthetic fiber. But when speed glue got banned my preferences changed a lot. I played harder rubbers than before and also my blade became harder and faster.

This blade with the synthetic fiber right under the outer ply fits perfectly to me. It is of course very offensive but I still manage in keeping control of the ball. I like especially the impact of the ball when I have to make a backhand block for example. It feels like I can „ navigate it“ wherever I want. The ball throw is quite high, which provides additional control. And the counterspin is also not difficult. I think this is also a result of the high ball throw and this very special feeling when you hit the ball. It feels like having a „turbo“ in your racket that explodes when playing a topspin.

I played all my carreer with straight handles, so of course I did the same choice here. During the rally I very often change the way how to hold the racket. A straight handle helps a lot for such actions.
