I have tried this blade on an OFF+ carbon blade (Avalox Ruiba), an OFF all wood blade (Stiga Infinity), and an OFF- soft composite blade (Nittaku S-series SCZ). Currently, this rubber is on the BH of my main blade which is the Infinity. This is quite a heavy rubber but it doesn't feel boosted like the Evolution rubbers. The rubber is quite soft compared to the Powergrip, MX-P and it's even softer than Vega Pro. Due to this softness the rubber has a good amount of dwell and is not linear. The rubber also has a high throw angle. The spin this rubber can generate is very good and open ups are very good especially on the FH. This rubber has a bouncy nature and high throw which makes the short game difficult especially compared to the Xiom Vega Pro. This rubber is good on the BH due to its high throw which make flicks easy. This rubber has quite a pronounced catapult effect. It is very easy to do slow spinny shots and and quickly punch a low ball with this rubber. This rubber will pair best with the hard and stiff blades that are at least in the OFF category. One thing to note about this rubber is that it has ok durability and the topsheet gets messed up very easily. The rubbers also seem to be inconsistent in terms of characteristics. The one on my Infinity is softer than the other ones I have. Some are also faster and spinnier than others. If you like bouncy rubbers that have high throws and good dwell get this.

Pros
  • Grip
  • Spin
  • Great for BH
Cons
  • Short Durability
  • Speed
I played this rubber a long time on my BH. You can open up the ball very well against backspin, blocking felt very controlled. But sometimes it felt like, I couldn't get that speedy ball. One negative aspect is the durability, the rubber died in my opinion way to early. If you want a good open up with your BH the Andro Rasant Grip is the best choice for you. I don't see the rubber on the FH (just my opinion). All in all it´s a good rubber. 4 out of 5 stars!
Pros
  • Decently fast
  • Control
  • Spin
Cons
  • Durability
I have had this rubber for a few weeks and it is pretty good. The first thing I noticed was that it was not as fast as I expected, but had more control and spin. It has more spin than my bluefire m2 but has less feeling. It is slightly softer than my bluefire and has more control. It is not tacky at all. However, if you hit it hard enough the rubber will feel a bit harder.

Pros
  • Good spin
  • Great control
  • Fast enough
Cons
  • Short durability
I tried this rubber in the FH with the Xiom Zetro Quad blade, it's a great rubber for those who love adding lots of spin in their attacks, even as it has a lot of control also it has good speed, but its not at all the fastest.

The downside, it lasted about 2 months only, and right after the first month of use it began to look worn out, losing very quickly the ammount of spin you can produce.

Pros
  • Spin & more spin
  • Sound
Cons
  • Speed
As I've used this Andro set-up for just a month, these are initial thoughts.
Spin is great which is why I selected it.
Ok speed could be higher but it's ok for me.
Durability after a month seems ok, there aren't any wear marks.
Would be an interesting comparison against so called 'King of Spin', the Tenergy 05.
It is 30% cheaper than the Tenergy.
Im using it as 2.1mm on both sides. When the rubbers need replacing, I might try Tenergy 05 on the forehand
and keep the Rasant Grip on the backhand.
