Andro C45 vs R45

[noidkmaybe]

Hello. I enjoy researching rubbers and watching review videos just for fun (please don’t judge). I was curious if anyone has played with both of these rubbers. If you have can you compare them? Which rubber would be best on what side (FH/BH)? C45 barely has any reviews on it so I’m curious how it compares/contrast to r45.

I haven't played with them, but as far as I know, C45 has tacky surface (kinda hybrid) which makes it more suitable for FH compared to BH. Sharath Kamal used to have C53 on FH and R53 on BH.

C45 has tacky surface

That´s correct.
R45 has a lot more catapult effect. It´s surprisingly powerful for such a soft rubber, and could even be an alternative to R48 if that´s a little too hard or too much to handle. But compared to other rubbers with identical sponge hardness like Hexer Grip it´s a different class.
A typical combination would be C45 forehand, R 45 backhand, but that depends on individual preferences.
