Andro Rasanter V47 stands out with its construction emphasizing speed, power, and precision, tailored for modern table tennis with 40+ plastic balls:
-
Hard Sponge (47°): Produced using 4th generation TENSOR technology, the sponge is hard (medium-hard, approximately 45–50° on the ESN scale), ensuring a strong "catapult" effect, high speed, and energy transfer. Smaller pores and a denser structure allow for efficient conversion of stroke energy into speed, providing a direct and compact feel. Compared to the Andro Rasanter R47 (47°), the V47 is speed-oriented rather than spin-focused, due to smaller and more widely spaced pips.
-
Grippy Topsheet: Made from 100% natural rubber, the topsheet is grippy (not tacky), with a thin 1.7 mm thickness that increases contact area and reduces weight. It allows for sufficient spin generation in topspin strokes and counterattacks but is optimized for direct hits and speed. Compared to the Andro Rasanter R42, the V47's topsheet is less grippy but faster, suitable for flat hits and loop-drive style.
-
Pips: The rubber's pips are small, thin, and spaced further apart (V – Velocity), optimized for maximum sponge rebound effect. This geometry reduces sensitivity to incoming spin, facilitating responses to opponent's topspins, and provides a straighter trajectory. Compared to the Andro Rasanter R47, which has thicker and denser pips, the V47's pips are more suited for speed and flat hits rather than spinny looping strokes.
-
TENSOR Technology: The 4th generation TENSOR sponge with a dense cell structure and thin topsheet compensates for the speed and spin deficiencies of 40+ balls, ensuring a strong catapult effect and dynamic energy transfer. The Rasanter V47's TENSOR effect is more aggressive than the Rasanter R37, emphasizing speed and direct stroke response, making it suitable for players seeking uncompromising offense.
The rubber is available in 1.7 mm, 2.0 mm, and UltraMax (2.3 mm) sponge thicknesses:
-
1.7 mm – for fast blocks and control,
-
2.0 mm – for versatile offensive strokes,
-
UltraMax – for maximum speed and power.
The rubber is medium weight (uncut ~69 g, cut ~48–50 g), comparable to Tibhar Evolution MX-P or Butterfly Tenergy 05 Hard. Colors – red and black – comply with ITTF standards.
Andro Rasanter V47 features technical specifications tailored for speed-oriented high-level and professional players:
-
Speed: 126/100. The rubber is extremely fast, suitable for flat hits, short topspins, smashes, and counterattacks. Compared to the Andro Rasanter R47 (speed 120/100), the V47 is faster, offering more power and direct stroke response.
-
Spin: 124/100. The rubber generates high spin, especially in loop-drive strokes, serves, and counterattacks, but is less spin-oriented than the Rasanter R47 (spin 126/100). The spin is sufficient but more suited for fast, direct play rather than arcing looping strokes.
-
Control: 87/100. The control level is high for a fast rubber, especially in fast blocks, counterattacks, and flat hits. Compared to the Andro Rasanter R37 (control 98/100), the V47 offers less control but compensates with speed and power.
Trajectory: Low and straight, characteristic of speed-oriented rubbers, facilitating short topspins, flat hits, and fast blocks. The trajectory is less curved than the Rasanter R47, making it suitable for aggressive strokes and loop-drive style. Users highlight the rubber's "speed potential" and "insensitivity to incoming spin," especially in counterattacks.
Andro Rasanter V47 is a hard rubber, making it an excellent match with various blades:
-
Andro Novacell OFF: Balances speed and control, suitable for versatile offensive strokes.
-
Butterfly Timo Boll ALC: Provides additional speed for flat hits and counterattacks.
-
Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon: Enhances power potential, especially for aggressive strokes.
-
DHS Hurricane Long V: Adds stability, suitable for fans of hard blades.
The rubber is also suitable for wooden blades, such as the Butterfly Korbel, as the hard sponge and TENSOR technology compensate for the blade's elasticity, providing more power. Users recommend using the V47 on the forehand side with UltraMax sponge for maximum speed, or on the backhand side with 1.7 mm or 2.0 mm for more control in blocking. The rubber is optimized for plastic balls, as the thin topsheet and dense sponge effectively compensate for their speed deficiencies.
Andro Rasanter V47 is designed for speed-oriented high-level and professional players emphasizing direct strokes and uncompromising offense:
-
For advanced and professional players proficient in fast technique, as the rubber requires precise strokes and strong stroke impulse.
-
For close-to-the-table play: short topspins, flat hits, fast blocks, smashes.
-
For mid-distance: counter-looping and loop-drive strokes, counterattacking.
-
For fast offense: disruptive serves and fast, direct strokes.
The rubber is highly effective in smashes (9.0/10) due to its high speed, and offers stability and insensitivity to incoming spin in blocking (8.8/10). Counter-looping (8.7/10) is a strong suit, especially at mid-distance, though serves (8.5/10) are less spinny than with the Rasanter R47. Compared to the Andro Rasanter R47, the V47 is faster but less suited for arcing looping strokes. Users praise the rubber's "speed weapon" and "ease of handling against topspins," but note that it requires technique and may be too fast for beginners.
Andro Rasanter V47 stands out as a speed-oriented offensive rubber:
-
Extremely high speed (126/100), suitable for flat hits and counterattacks.
-
High spin (124/100), effective in loop-drive and serves.
-
Control (87/100), ensuring stability in fast play.
-
Hard TENSOR sponge: provides strong "catapult" effect and power impulse.
-
German quality: ITTF approved, manufactured with precise Andro craftsmanship.
Compared to the Tibhar Evolution MX-P, the Rasanter V47 is faster but less spin-oriented, with a straighter trajectory. Compared to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 Hard, it offers similar speed but is less sensitive to incoming spin and more durable (3–5 months of intensive use). Users emphasize the rubber's "speed potential" and "versatility," especially for fast offense.
