This is the 2nd fastest Rasanter rubber. This is slightly spinnier than the V47 version and has a higher arc. The topsheet grips the ball fairly good enough. This has a lesser spin compared to MX-P but better control. This is still very spinny. Also, the MX-P is still faster than this rubber but with a small difference. This is a good offensive rubber and I would prefer this over the V47 because of the amount of spin. The speed difference between the V47 and this is just a few notches so better to choose the version with more spin. This is definitely for advanced players. Almost similar to the Joola Rhyzm but a tad softer and Blue Fire M1.

Like this blade very much. Tried a lot of middle priced offensive blades. Most of them lack control. This one is different.
It is light. Fast, but not very fast. The control is also very good. You can play short game with no problem. Lift underspin balls easily and also play far from table.
The price is also affordable (45$).

The R42 is almost similar to the Joola Rhyzm 425 except that it feels softer. Sponge is medium soft and you can feel the ball sink into the sponge everytime you have a hit with it. It produces above average spin and a medium arc when looping the ball. The R42 is fast and bouncy and compared to the Xiom Vega Europe, it is marginally faster and also spinnier. Control is above average even for beginner and intermediate levels but I would recommend this more for an intermediate level player. Good smashing and hitting properties especially with counters and blocks near and far from the table.

I have only played it as a backhand rubber due to the fact that it is only available in 35 and 37 degree but on BH i can recommend it in combination with a composite blade. i have only played it on a carbonado 190 and like it very much.
Very good for loopkilling serves that drifted too long and for mid distance play with playing style that puts effort in the shots but up to a certain point you only get what you put into it in terms of force. it is bouncier then a classic chinese rubber but not as near as bouncy as a tensor e.g. so you still need a good amount of effort but you can play that with safety because the rubber gives you a good control in every aspect and you don´t need much adjustments in terms of technique. you will quickly learn what is possible and how to execute the shots you wanna play.
on a carbonado 190 i found the throw angle low on very fast shots, when you hit more with forward motion and high at lower speed e.g. at flicking over the table or at open ups on backspin near the table edge. i rate the possibility to create different throw angles at will as a high +.
with 3 thin layers of falco long it is a deadly weapon in every aspects and still very controlable.
Satisfying for the BH! Thumps up

If this rubber would be available in 40° (DHS scale) - it isn`t, what is sad - i can imagine it as wonderful jap/china hybrid on the FH side.

Plies: limba 0.3mm - textreme 0.25mm - ayous 0.7mm - ayous 3.3mm - ayous 0.7mm - textreme 0.25mm - limba 0.3mm

Dimensions: 156x150x5.8mm

Weight: mine has 90g (sealed)

I play the Stiga Carbonado 190 Flared handle (handle called Master by Stiga) already 7 month now and i think i have developed a good sense for feeling and touch of the blade.
It is a bit difficult to explain but i try my best.
In a few aspects it always comes down, not only to personal preferences but also to a subjective perception. Therefore contradicted statements can be occur and are nothing to worry about, just the way different people perceive one and the same thing.
The 190 although it is a rather hard and stiff blade does play significantly softer than it is, maybe due to the limba outer plies and because it is rather thin (5.8mm)
this combination makes it a blade with high basic speed but still very controlable and with good overall feeling.
I have to ad that i only played two different rubber combinations so this probably plays a significant role in perceiving its playing characteristics.
I played Hurricane 8, 40 degree black FH/ Tinarc 5, 37 degree red BH and liked this combination very much, more than
Hurricane 3 Neo 40 degree black FH/ TG 3-60, 37 degree BH

In general the blade has a big sweetspot and its realy higher towards the head, like stated in manufacturers discription. this gives you an overall feeling of safety and when playing faster rallies, shots with more power and force can be played because with full arm swing (like a pendulum) more force can be generated from a hitting point near the head of the blade. the higher oriented sweetspot guaranties more margin for error and a higher number of winners due to that fact.
So it definitely rewards a certain style of play.
It is very suitable in combination with a rubber with chinese playing characteristics on the forehand side.
Close to the table it is a deadly weapon. The trajectory is lower than average.
With something like H8 which has a not so high first speed but a very good kick off the bounce with good spin, it causes a lot of trouble for the opponent because this is a rather unusual style of play. a relatively low trajectory in general and a very flat bounce on the opponents half of the table makes it difficult to return the ball for your opponent and at the same time making much fun to play for you.
It took quite some time to adjust the technique when playing away from the table but once you know the trick it is very enjoyable and effective too.
You have to significantly lower your center of gravity the farer away you play from the table but still deadly shot can be created when enough effort is put into it.
definetely nothing for lazy boys or girls.
But once you got used to it, you just can`t resist to love that blade.

Nexy changed their Cpen symmetry for this series. Headsize 162x151, slightly longer handle than Peterpan, similar to Arirang. A bit too bouncy for a 5ply wood, but still controllable. It can spin with the best of them, and has power of a 7ply blade with shorter trajectory!

The handle is a bit too thin which made the racket more head heavy after putting rubbers on. This blade is one of the best 5ply wood blades out there. Medium Stiff, great wood feel, not overly long dwell. Top gears are up there with the best 5 ply woods due to the burnt core. Must have for all your all-around loopers!

Used this in 2013 JOOLA Teams & got over +200pts. Is more spinnier than Limba outer blades. Very unique feel, but easy to adapt. Good speed, and very good top gears. Works well with Chinese rubbers & tensors.

I pair this FH: Hurricane 3 mid hardness. BH: H3Neo. Initially I apply a seal by Xiom Water-based product : I-SURE by XIOM. Its is a water based protector.
Previously I seal my Limba blades like DHS PG7, and DONIC 2016 Waldner Offensive . But for koto( i believe) top veneers in Stiga OC, it does not glue well to the rubber. I had to sand paper it down and remove the water based protector as recommended by my coach.

The softest Rasanter among the 6 variants and also the slowest. It is slower than the Rasant Beat and also has less spin. The Rasant Beat was softer but it offered more spin and grip on the ball and it was more bouncy. Even at max thickness this rubber can be controlled by intermediate level players. Good for smashing because of the control but spin is just above average. I would only recommend this as a backhand rubber because it blocks really well and it is easy to hablde spinny serves and loops when blocking.

Bought this ply from tabletennis11.com in the promo. Got a very good deal. Have been playing with it for almost 3 months with it. RAKZA 7 on both sides.
Used to own Primorac carbon before that
Nittaku SCZ has got a great ball fell, good control for a short game yet it is able to generate enough spin and speed for mid distance. RAKZA 7 combination really shines with this blade. I rely on heavy backhand loops and block and smash and medium heavy loops on forehand, and I am able to produce enough spin and power using this combination.
As compared to Primorac it is slower but definately a lot faster than STIGA infinity VPS. I played with STIGA infinity vps for approximately 6-7 hrs and immediately sold it again.. though IVPS has a good feel but its tool slow for me. NSCZ is definitely OFF while Stiga IVPS is more of a ALL + category and primorac for me is OFF ++, very hard and tough to control
The blade out of the books looks one of a kind.. very beautiful and light weight.. gorgeous natural wood handle.. get it lacquered and the rubbers will paste and will come out like a breeze with almost no residue on the blade.
Not tested enough for the durability but nittaku manufactures one of the best blades in the market so m sure i wont be disappointed.
so yeah.. this blade is highly recommended if you want a OFF racket with only slight inclination towards OFF +. This blade wont disaapoint you

I bought this blade searching for a spinny, controllable carbon blade with nice feeling and I got exactly that. My only doubt before buying the blade was the speed but for me its ideal . Not too fast but not too slow either . Very nice woody feel with nice vibrations and when u spin with power u feel the carbon activating. Osp quality is exceptional and u feel "unique" ,great value for money. So far I have nothing negative to say about the blade very good all-around. Nice dwell, easy to block , Easy to receive short , quality 1st ball with great feedback that Limba outer provides. Pairs great with hard rubbers like 05. Not so good with softer rubbers like 05fx at least in my opinion.

Amazing quality , Great sweet spot , tremendous spin. Best thing is the dwell time that produces high amount of spins in every stroke. Of course price is insane but the quality is amazing. Only negative for me is the speed. Too much to handle in my opinion .

Very nice blade , easy to play with . Great Speed / Control ratio. Hinoki provide a good soft feeling and enough power / spin when needed. Ideal for players who like to spin, not so good for flat hitters. Not very happy about the quality, apart from the fact that it needs sanding that u wouldnt expect from a 220 euro blade, my blade's handle needs glueing after 2 months without being hit or mistreated in any way.

Loved using MX-S on my RPB, but it's soooooo heavy! 55grs cut! Ouch!
Good balance of everything, but excels in brushing strokes. Drive throw is a bit too low for my stroke.

Not much to say about this rubber on my RPB wing. Great rubber for close to table blocker that relies on precision & variability.

After using for about 2 months on my RPB, I can share that this rubber has a pronounced feeling, where it's not dead, but not overly bouncy. Only negative thing I had to say is it's very heavy in weight, the throw is lowish when driving, and the in table flicks are not as good because topsheet doesn't grip the plastic ball well.

I used this rubber on my forehand for over a year. It's very spinny, good feeling, and very controllable. I rate the speed by top gears (9.1). It's not as tacky as I would like, but still picks up balls quite well when out of position. I popped the topsheets once the rubber is broken in, usually last me less than a few weeks each sheet=(.

Good cheap utility BH rubber for me. I used it in the cell ball area, and couldn't adjust to plastic cause of the slippage for brushing strokes. With cell balls, very pleasant sound, & good control.
It is not as soft as expected, even tho manufacturer stating this is the softest version.
