Looking for the softest table tennis rubber - Review #02 | Testing Andro Impuls Speed & Plaxon 350

Описание: Welcome to Part 2 of my search for the perfect racket. Please respect the fact that this is a really subjective, neutral and pragmatic review in relation to my old material which I played for 25 years! The priority is to get an impression how the material behaves in gameplay.

After testing out Andro Impuls Speed & Powersponge on my old blade Butterfly Primorac Carbon Off+ in the first video:    • Looking for the softest table tennis rubbe...   I've tested out Andro Powersponge (2.0mm) on the fore- and backhand on an Andro Treiber FO OFF/S but decided not to get on with it because its total weight 173g feels heavier than my current Butterfly Primorac Carbon Off+ & Joola Samba Plus combination (total weight 173g) and its sound/catapult is not strong enough for my technique.

So I'm starting this video with my favourite combination of Andro Impuls Speed [37g] on the backhand and Andro Plaxon 350 [42g] on the forehand with the Andro Treiber FO OFF/S [86g]. Its total weight of 165g is really comfortable and the Andro Impuls Speed feels great. I've got a good touch at counter-attack, blocking and backhand pressure play but I don't get a perfect arc at spinning and openings after my return. In total I would say I'm really pleasantly surprised how good it performs and in the next step I would try out both of these rubbers on a bit harder wood. Andro will drop a brand new line of woods next year and there should be a fitting one for me. I can't wait to test them out to hopefully find the perfect combination of rubbers and blade. But I would definitely recommend to try this blade for a test round because it's so amazingly fast and interesting to play.

Until now I never was so optimistic to find a real alternative to my 25 years old combination of the Primorac Carbon and Samba (Plus)! So please stay tuned for the next part of my review in 2022! Thanks to my training partners Dominik Jonack [TTS Borsum] and Maxi Dierks [SVH Kassel] as well as Andro Table Tennis for going with me on this exciting journey!

In the meantime I will focus on my league matches which I will record for you, some street table tennis action and my Chop Chop Club-series when Covid19 will allow it again.

I hope you enjoyed the video.
Cheers. 🏓
