Our notes: Around 66g uncut; Good medium-soft, all around attacking rubber.The rubber is soft enough for good blocking. Good for both forehand and backhand especially for beginners and intermediate players. Advanced players can enjoy using this as a backhand rubber. The medium soft sponge enables the player to grip the ball properly and produce very high amount of spin.
• Your profile is spin driven. You are looking for maximum grip. • As an advanced to high level player you will benefit from medium 42° sponge hardness taking full control on your spins. • Your style is versatile and you are smart enough to combine top spin potential with a medium soft sponge to guarantee superior feedback and control. • Add some extra speed in your stroke and the R42 will provide the dynamic performance you are looking for.

excellent rubber, but much softer than what usually 42 do lot of dynamic bounce and control. But not so much grip & speed though, like all soft rubbers

Great rubber for developing players, not for beginners, medium hard rubber, 46 grams cutted in 2 mm thickness, andro r series are special for flat smashes, like no other sheets, very good for forehand, highly recommended.

In my opinion, this rubber is a real spin monster. You can see what is possible with this in many of Adam Bobrov's videos on YouTube!!! ;-P ( - as far as I know he plays it on an Andro Kanter Carbon.) Personally, I'm now using it for the first time on my Stuor Professional Long V (Cybershape) on the forehand. Facts: my (pretty green) 2.0 mm rubber weighed 94 g in the original packaging, 64 g uncut. and finally on my Cybershape blade 46 g. ( - which is quite low for a Cybershape rubber !!! ) The sponge hardness is 42 degrees, the total hardness is (according to Spin & Speed in Germany) 48.8 degrees. (international level) ... 35 degrees according to Chinese level! I will soon try this rubber (of the same strength, but in black) on a conventional blade. (... and add to my assessment!) Conclusion: In my opinion the R 42 is a Hexer Powergrip SFX with more catapult and speed together with a softer top rubber !!! (... and also excellent spin properties, exceptionally good control.). For these reasons it should also be interesting for many players. - as long as the rubber is not completely too soft! (...or the blade used underneath. ;)) Addendum: This rubber (with 2 mm) is now also stuck to my Huieson ZLC. and this harder and faster blade makes the rubber even better !!! ;) - oh yes, :-P ... Adam Babrow now plays the Rasanter R 45

I play with this rubber on BH. The previous rubber was the Mizuno Q5. IMO R42 its fine ratio of speed to control, very good but not perfect rubber for looping, leading and blocking. I was surprised how quickly I got used to the R42.

I didn't like the rubber, after 2 months it stopped spinning. I don't recommend it in Fore. On the backhand only if you like control, because I have to exert a lot of force for the ball to pass. Completely different From r47. Now I'm going to exchange it for a tour.
