If you are coming from Rasant and you prefer to play with a rubber that offers an improved performance, you better try Rasanter. If you are looking for a rubber that has similar characteristics like Rasant, Hexer Grip or Powergrip could be your future rubbers. Only the topsheets are slightly different and are improved with view to the plastic ball. Best regards Björn from andro

Do you mean that Hexer Grip and Powergrip are only an topsheet improvement of the olds Rasant Grip and Powergrip?

I don't like thw feeling of the new Rasanter

I already bought the Hexer Powergrip but didn't play yet.

I just wanted to ask the difference of this new Rubbes compare to the Rasant Grip and Powergrip. Was not clear to me if only the topsheet was improved.

I would definitely try these in the future.

First impression:


I'd fire the line art designer. The model name is squeezed down to fit that tiny space. So goddamn ugly. Ditch that brand logo there. Either that or andro, not both. Such a big waste of space.

Hello Tom!

I've tried the Andro Hexer Powergrip (2.1mm) on the BTY Kaytec (M.Jun Penhold equivalent)
I have not tried the Rasant Powergrip. But have tried the normal Rasant and am a frequent user of Rasanter R47.

“I love the way it absorbs a full stroke and spits out a killer loop.”
This is still true indeed! Especially on slower loops, you can really feel the "auto-spin" just works right up! This is what they(Andro) market as magic spin.

It is an upgraded version of the Rasant for me. Easy to use still, faster, with a grippier topsheet. The Hexer Powergrip is a rubber I enjoy using very much. It's fun to use! (Brings back old memories, Palio Drunken Dragon was one crazy and fun rubber. Drunken kung fu style; This "magic spin")

Comparing the Rasanter R47. The Hexer PG feels softer probably feels more to 45 degrees than 47. R47 is faster, more speed especially at high power strokes. Hexer PG has a much higher arc for me. On brush loops / thin contact, I prefer the grip of the Hexer PG too. Spin wise, easier to generate on the Hexer PG for most shots, but on really high powered far table shots the R47's spin might edge out just a little.

Tell me how you feel when you've tried it too. Cheers!
