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