Have not figured out this rubber yet. So probably use it as a Forehand.

I'm a Cpen player and i've been using this rubber on the FH side attached to a YEO7 blade, and I have to admit I'm astonished, you can do whatever you want, it has lots of control and a beautiful sound when making high quality strokes, although is not a high speed rubber you still have plenty of power to make a killer shot, topspin and powerlooping is easy and is not difficult to place the ball wherever you want, blocking is also easy due to is not vey sensitive to incoming spin, I would recomend this rubber to all benningers or intermediate players who want to improve their technique at control-oriented game
Been using this rubber on B/H side (red) for some weeks now; excellent for control and pushes give great spin. Very good to hit with and blocks are excellent. Agree this rubber has shades of MK V but all round I believe it to be a better rubber. Thus far it supports my technique very well. IMHO it is an excellent tensor type rubber for club/league players. Will see if the durability stacks up in the coming future months.
Surprisingly Very good Rubber for Pushes and Spins far the table. Worth the price.
After playing with Mark V on my FH for many years and recently trying some different rubbers I have settled on Hexer Duro. Despite it being my first real tensor type rubber I found it quite easy to adjust due to Hexer Duro having very good control in all strokes. Duro also has some quite similar all-round properties to Mark V which suits my game style as well as similar (medium) sponge hardness. I think it is a superbly balanced rubber with regard to speed/spin/control and I will stick with it for the foreseeable future.
Ive been playing these rubbers in 1,9 on vh + bh with the Butterfly Primorac for one season. I find it very versatile, looping is quite easy as well as blocking and the short play over the table.
What I find very helpful is the higher throw angle which I was missing with my previous rubbers (CTT National Hero, Yasaka Mark V) and that supports my technique. Really hard to understand why this rubber has a relatively low rating allthough it is quite similar to the Xion Vega Europe.

What a looping rubber!!! This rubber is exceptional! I use the rubber on my forehand and paired it with the andro Csv all+ blade and together, I have a beast! The spin it provides is fantastic and this rubber can generate a great deal of speed too. Superb rubber made by andro and I certainly do recommend it!
I'm surprised no one has mentioned how soft the sponge on the Duro is. It's definitely not medium hard but soft instead. On loop drives and hits the ball bottoms out and it sounds like it's hitting wood as well. It does not have a linear response and I don't like it. If you like your sponges soft this might work for you but if you like your rubber linear but durable, you might want to look elsewhere, like the classic Sriver or Mark V.
Very good rubber, not sure why it has so low ratings... Can be used on FH or BH very direct with plenty of spin. I am using it on Xiom Zetra Quad as forehand rubber in 2.1mm thickness. Exellent for top spin drives, looping and blocking. Perfect hardness for me some where between medium and medium-hard. Great durability.
I have never before had problems in glueing any rubber, but this rubber makes water based TT glue to fluid after couple of days. I tried to glue it to 2 different blades but got hard cleaning job in both cases. Compared to Andro Rasant, Duro plays much weaker in every aspect and above all Rasant stays in the blade :)
Edit 11/2013:
After about 10 failed trials with 3 different glues I found a glue that worked properly. And I found soft all-wood blade suitable for this rubber. The more I have played this rubber the more I like it.
So I upgrade my overall rating from 8 to 9.

hard top sheet with medium sponge. i think this rubber has been overshadowed by the Hexer HD. it's not bad at all.
I have been playing this rubber for some months now with 1.9 and 2.1 sponge. I find it a well balanced offensive rubber, without noticeable weaknesses. I played Andro Impuls before and Sriver L a longer time ago. I think the top sheet is a bit thicker than with standard Hexer to ensure longer durability so I assume it feels a little bit harder than Hexer (without having the experience). I am having no difficulty at all looping close and far away from the table.
Slow and fast loops both very good.
Spin also quite strong on serves, chopping no problem but a bit easier of cours with the thinner sponge, blocking good as well. I tried the blades Andro CS7 Pro and Andro Kineteic Supreme Off, and for looping I prefer the Kinetic for this rubber because it has a softer surface layer (Koto) which gives more feeling to the spin.
I think it does not sell too well, currently it is available at about 25% below the original price.
I am sticking with this rubber, it has all I need.
