Where are people buying their Rasanter R47 at the moment? TT11 and Dandoy are both sold out of black max--and virtually everything size and colour as well.

Tibi does not carry Andro. To me, it seems like Andro has distribution problems.
Solutions:
Rasanters are good but, TBH, they are no must-obtain holy grail. We need to keep things in perspective. Don't we all obsess over what equipment our favorite TT players use? Don't they all currently get by quite happily without using Rasanter? Edited by slevin - 05/15/2017 at 2:55pm |

Tibi was my last hope :'(.
But as slevin said, the donic bluestorm should probably not have any of these andro distribution problems, incidental or intentional ;) |

I did. I can't believe I hadn't thought of him as I'd bought from him several times before and he is the best. I didn't realise he now does Andro though I'm not sure there is any black max R47 left in Europe at the moment!

I agree with you, on the whole, Slevin, though I've been using Powergrip for several years and thought Rasanter sounds the closest to it but more forgiving. When you're short of cash, you find something you want and wait for it! And unlike most of my favourite players, I certainly can't afford Tenergy!

I wondered about the 'intentional' bit as well, though they only seem to be out of R47 max here in Europe, not the others. I wonder how Andro would have known which would be the most popular of the line if they were planning on withholding stock. Why not R50, for example? Or V47? I am, however, admittedly ignorant of sales strategy and...well, anything business-like, so who knows? Maybe I'll just buy an MXP and be done with it. FXS, maybe? Or boost my current Powergrip and hold out til June when they are supposed to be restocked?

So after a bit of mucking around, I find that V47 is quite similar to EL-P but somehow with a softer feel, possibly due to the topsheet.
Seeing as EL-P has also been floated as a comparison on the Rozena thread, perhaps Tibhar was really forward with that release and secretly waiting for a decent plastic ball? Hahaha |

Good to know. I thought a 47 would be harder than the elp.

It's a rubber that rewards a confident approach. I was on the receiving end of a pasting last night from our best player, R47 still on his FH. Anything loose and high was drilled away. Anything longer and lower was looped into either corner with a lot of side spin and power. He's super happy. I still want to see how he does when he's under pressure and needs to dig things out, but when he's on the offensive he's a wrecking ball at the moment.

Finally got my hands on a sheet from slevin. Since he sold it to me for 41, I am sure he bought it for like 30 bucks so there must be a good deal on price out tbere. Anyways, I probably won't use it for a while or I might figure out what blade to put it on and try it out later this week. Every time I try a new rubber or blade these days, I just go back to my Vega Pro plus Karis M.

Thanks for buying from me, NL. Now, I can pay off my mortgage, put 10 yrs of property taxes in an escrow, buy the Tesla roof / battery pack that I want, buy the new BMW X6 my wife wants, book our 2 weeks in Paris in the summer that my daughter wants - all because you bought the R47 from me for $41. |

Thanks for selling. Happy to be one of many pieces to what is obviously a glorious puzzle. |

Can anyone report the weights of cut rubbers here? It appears that these are very heavy rubbers.

Thanks. These are for 2mm, I assume? For Max, how much more weight will it add? For R47 Max, probably 53-55g? Very heavy.

Btw, what other rubbers have the same hardness degree as R37? Vega Euro, maybe?

My observations on R47: to get spin, you have to use enough power / penetration to 'crack' the topsheet in the stroke (sort of like using Rhyzm). While the topsheet is thin, it is tough / stiff. Unlike other rubbers (like MX-P), if you don't get to the sponge, you don't get enough spin. So, very fine brush does not work as well. This does not happen with the V series (in which, in fact, you get greater spin on soft brush strokes). On the flip side, it is easier to use the sponge on the r47 than it is on other 47 deg rubbers (because the topsheet is thin).

Wait I thought hard topsheet should make it easier to loop with thin contact, isn't baracuda a hard topsheet?

Did you find R *more* stable than V? I'm a few sessions into R42 (which is not enough to say too much, just now broken in - P.S. anyone trying to glean much from day 1-2 rubber is crazy - all new rubbers are awkwardly stiff / lacking feeling to me until broken in) and I already forget some things about V42 so it is hard to compare this directly, but regardless I am impressed with the stability of both. Probably the standout quality actually, with other things being good as well. R42 is probably the better forehand rubber but it's early. I will use this for a couple more weeks and then try Rozena, and settle on either that or R42/R47 (again, too bad there is no 44/45).

So is V47 a good rubber for the backhand?

This is an excellent rubber. Has a good feel. Very similar to Karis in behavior but a better feeling of grip.
