Andro Rasanter R47 review: the medium-hard all-rounder
47° Energy Cell sponge and 'Rotation' pimples, now £45.99

Rasanter R47 sits in the middle of andro's best-known range. At 47° it is firmer than the R42 and R45 but more forgiving than the R50 and R53.

What to expect

andro designed R47 for topspin play: slightly larger but shorter pimples set closely together to turn impact energy into rotation. The medium-plus sponge gives a good mix of feel and power, which is why it suits both forehand and backhand for many club players.

Choosing a hardness

Softer (R37, R42) for control and touch; R47 for an all-round attacker; R50 and R53 for strong, fast swings.

Who it suits

Developing to advanced attackers who want a reliable, spinny rubber on both wings.

Our verdict

A safe, high-quality choice for most club attackers, and one of the best value tensors we sell.
