Rasanter R45 is the 45 ° medium-sponge version: a balance of spin, speed and control for variable offensive play.
- Your game is spin and speed. Variability and safeness embody your topspins.
- Break with conventions, use the strengths of the ENERGY CELL technology: more power and quality in your strokes, high dynamics – longer ball contact feel.
- The ENERGY CELL sponge with its highly elastic cell structure ensures an extremely dynamic energy transfer to all topspin variations.
- The 45 ° medium sponge supports both active and passive strokes in the best possible way. Perfect balance of spin, speed and control as the basis for variable offensive table tennis.
- The R surface for maximum rotation gains an additional impact by the ENERGY CELL sponge.
The Rasanter R47 is the spin-driven version with a 47° sponge, for offensive topspin play at higher speed.
- Your profile is spin driven.
- Offensive topspin play at higher speed is your strategy.
- As a high level player you will take full advantage of the 47° sponge hardness for extra power and speed in your topspin play.
Now You are equipped to be creative in the semi distance play as well, and to perform topspins with a precise curved trajectory.
What's So Special About These New Rubbers?
- RASANTER is the most elaborate and complex rubber development ever undertaken in Germany.
- The goal was to develop a future-oriented rubber technology that allows all ambitious and technically skilled players to overcome the physical disadvantages of the 40+ ball.
- RASANTER's topsheet compensates for the rotational disadvantages of the 40+ ball, while the denser, ultra-thick sponge increases the catapult effect and compensates for the lower speed of the cell free ball.
Rasant means fast in German, and Rasanter, of course, means faster – a hint of what these rubbers promise, although the performance advantage goes far beyond just being faster.
The problem they set out to solve is the 40+ poly ball. It's been almost 3 years since the changeover, and these balls are now the standard in all sanctioned tournaments. On average the 40+ ball is about 0.5 mm larger in diameter than the celluloid 40 ball that preceded it, and the poly material is slicker and smoother than celluloid.
Together those two characteristics mean a loss of spin and speed when identical force is applied. Table tennis manufacturers have been trying to make up for that loss ever since the switchover, and andro has now done so with the Rasanter series.
But What Exactly Makes These New Rubbers So Much Better?
The topsheet comes first. It has been thinned down significantly by andro engineers, to only 1.7 mm thick, and this extremely thin profile combined with a new pimple geometry gives a larger contact area, for a significant spin gain even at low impact speeds.
Rasanter offers two topsheet versions, V (for Velocity) and R (for Rotation), which differ in pimple geometry: the V version has smaller pimples spaced farther apart, maximizing the catapult effect of the sponge, while the fatter, more closely arranged pimples of the R version maximize the contact area with the ball and allow for stronger surface tension.
Surface grip has been enhanced too. This is still a grippy European-style topsheet, not a super-sticky Chinese-style one, with a glossy finish and superior grip to other European-style rubbers.
Underneath, the sponge developed for Rasanter has a smaller cell structure than all other Tensor sponges, which produces a bigger catapult effect and a noticeable speed increase. And because the topsheet is thinner, the sponge layer can be thicker: the new Ultramax sponge is a luxuriously thick 2.3 mm, the thickest available. A smaller cell structure and a denser, thicker sponge mean more power potential.
The sponge comes in a variety of densities to suit virtually all attacking and all-round playing styles: 42 or 47 hardness for the V version, and 37, 42, 47, or 50 for the R version. 37 is considered soft and is favored by players wanting to enhance the spin and control aspects of the rubber. 42 is a medium sponge with more speed than 37 that retains excellent feel and control.
47 is medium hard, for players who want the higher speed and extra power of a hard sponge with more control than the 50, and 50 is a hard sponge used by players with well-developed strokes who strike the ball with a lot of force and emphasize power in their games.
Together, the 2 topsheets and 4 sponges are a marvel of table tennis engineering and make it possible to ideally match one of these 6 rubbers to your playing style.
The Rasanter V47 is the speed-driven version with a hard 47° sponge, for flat, direct and fast topspins.
- Your profile is speed driven.
- You go for flat and direct ballistics.
- As a high to pro level player you will take control of this hard 47° sponge for unlimited power and energy.
- Your configuration will be the ultimate speed weapon, performing short and fast top spins – offensive with no compromise –
...and no excuses. You have been warned.

The global success: for many years the ACUDA series has been the best-selling series of rubbers in the world, thanks to incredibly dynamic properties, excellent precision and a fantastic playing feel – play with an ACUDA and you will know why. With the ACUDA S1 Turbo, DONIC has expanded that best-selling series.
Incredible speed, excellent spin and unmatched dynamics: its sophisticated technology meets the requirements of even the top players, and it offers an endless range of possibilities, although players wanting to use this high-end rubber should already have a good level of experience and training behind them.
For performance-oriented, offensive players. Powerful catapult effect, extremely fast but with a great feel and excellent ball feedback.
Technology: spin-optimised, medium-hard, high-end rubber.
A balanced rubber for everyone from power allrounders to offensive players, and particularly well suited to controlled spin players. Dynamic, incredibly accurate, very spinny and with a satisfying, loud sound.
Technology: spin-optimised rubber with medium-soft and medium-pore sponge – the perfect balance.
The rubber with vicious spin: the BARRACUDA rubbers have been designed based on the Formula DONIC, with one decisive addition – the ball leaves the rubber in a considerably higher arc, which provides much more spin for topspin strokes. That spin stabilises the flight path of the ball and increases accuracy when you hit the ball with topspin.
A rubber for attacking players that utilise lots of topspin: excellent rotation and spin, and a higher ball arc when playing topspin strokes.
Technology: medium sponge, spin-elastic topsheet.
The iconic blue tension sponge is combined with an extremely spinny topsheet, an innovative combination that results in a high-tech rubber generation. With its narrow and long pimple structure, the topsheet gives the rubber maximum flexibility and a sensational feel.
