Stiga Platinum vs Andro Rasanter?

[FrenchFrog33]

Can you compare Stiga Platinum vs. Andro Rasanter? Speed, spin, control, longer lasting rubber?

Both are fast. From way too fast to extremely way too fast for mortals. Both have immense spin generation capabilities, with both requiring outstanding tecnique (involving deep contact) to leverage them. Control: see speed, take the converse. I don't know about the durability of Platinum, wasn't to impressed with the Rasanters' – though they bore themselves better than the Rasants I've played.

I haven't used any of the DNA Platinum rubbers, but I have used some of the DNA Pro series as well as some of the Rasanters, so I can compare those.

I would say that the comparison between Rasanter R53 and DNA Pro H, is the same as between the Rasanter R48 vs DNA Pro M. Very simply, in both cases the Rasanters have a higher upper-limit of performance, and the DNA Pros are easier to play and control.

You can generate more spin and speed on high-impact shots with the Rasanters but, unless you're pretty good, you'll probably get more shots on the table with the DNA Pros (and still with more than respectable spin and speed).

And by "pretty good", I mean pretty good in competitive game play, not in training drills!

The Rasanter R53 that I had is super factory boosted. It shrinks like there is no tomorrow and after 2 months it feels bad.
The DNA Pro I tried was pretty meh, maybe the factory booster already evaporated by the time I tried it on another player's racket.

I think neither of them are worth the price they are asking for them. Not even half of it...

Fastarc G-1 will offer you more spin, control and will last much longer and is cheaper. I would wager G-1 is faster after the 2 months period of factory booster evaporation...
You might be better off waiting for the Glayzer rubbers from Butterfly.

Is it true that Rasanter is much heavier than DNA Platinum Pro?

Ive used DNA pro M before and R45 and C48 at the minute. I don't think there is a massive difference in weight. The C versions do seem slightly heavier though. The R45 I really like its great spin but not to quick so you can control it - but has great potential too.
Haven't tried Platinum - but TTD Tom is using Pro rather than platinum as the Cybershape is faster than his previous blade and he didn't need quicker rubbers also.

Uncut R53 is 74g https://blog.tabletennis11.com/review-stiga-dna-h-vs-andro-r53
Uncut DNA Platinum XH is 72g https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/stiga-dna-platinum-rubbers.25451/
Shouldn't be too different.

Andro Rasanter is good in every aspect, except for its durability

Can anybody compare Stiga DNA Pro M (2.1) to Andro Rasanter R45 (2.3)? Thanks.
