Hi
I am currently playing with airoc M,and have previously played with roxon 450 a LOT.
In the beginning I quite Liked airoc because it was spinny and it had better control than 450.
However, I think it wears out too fast and loses much of its spin.
So I am looking to buy a similar rubber with roughly the same speed, more durable and a bit more grippy and spinny.
Any ideas?
I have been considering rasant grip or any of the calibra rubbers.
Would be grateful for advice.

Hi Nille, long time no see.

I haven't used Rasant Grip, but have been on Rasant for a long time now. I used Roxon 450 a lot also, before migrating through Hexer plus to Rasant. I can recommend Rasant as a rubber that's an improvement on Roxon 450 in just about every way you can think (spin, power, etc.) I think Grip will be a slightly spinnier version, but I do know others that tried it, and prefer normal Rasant. Cheers!

I know a number of players using Rasant Grip and other Rasants. They have a universally good opinion of it. Having used Hexer for a while too, I tend to think that the quality of these Andro rubbers is superb. You can't lose, really.

Thanks for Tour advice

You know, all these rubbers are made by the same people and are variations on a theme. They're all Tensors, they're designed to do the same thing, with slight variations. The ones that came out later would tend to be slightly better since there has been more r&d put into it, but I have not heard of any quantum leaps in rubber technology in the past few years, despite the hype in the advertiding.

Played a lot with Roxon 450 after that the normal Rasant and now the rasant Grip.
I must say the rasant grip is the best rubber for me. Pushes are easier and spinning is easier especially with the new balls.

Go and try the Rasant Grip, I am sure u like them a lot!

Greetings!

Is rasant grip comparable to roxon 450 when it comes to speed?
Any idea where you can buy it at a good price?

I've been a xiom tour faithful but their rubber are a bit heavy since I play cpg and I'm older. My dealer pulled out rasant Powergrip and donic acuda blue for my carbonado and I have been very impressed. I compared it to omega tour v thinner than max in my stiga emerald and stick and control is much better although both blades play well. Unless xiom comes out with something to match it I may be changing my older blades to rasant. Did not know this rubber played so well until I found this thread and thought about my last workout.

For those using Rasant Grip for awhile now, how's the longevity of the rubber?

I have played with Rasant Grip 1.9 Fh and I think it is a great rubber provided you do spin the ball and compliment Rasant with a fast blade not a medium fast and a rubber on the Bh that is on the harder sponge to get the most out of the spin and speed Rasant grip can offer. Rasant grip does not work on softer blades it works much better on a harder wood/carbon blade it produces good spin for the harder less flexible blades to more flexible blades and normal Rasant was like that as well.
