Roxon 450 (Andro)

The demand for the material is growing with the playing level. With his balanced technical skills the player of the ROXON 450 is able to ideally control this rubber' s power and dynamic. The athlete benefits from the reduced rubber weight of the ROXON 450 by faster and more precise arm movements. The stabilisation in the molecular caoutchouc layer results in a high abrasion resistance - long endurance and a shiny surface are the impressive evidence. The rebound effect will inspire all former speed-gluing players also during non-centred hits. The secret lies in the rubber mixture, not in the glue! The rubber for ambitious players of all playing levels!

Utmost speed-glue feeling and endurance!

ROXON POWER: In the year 2000 andro introduced its first generation of TENSOR rubbers. Back in these days already a much promising alternative to speed-gluing. Nobody had imagined that speed-gluing would once completely vanish from table tennis. Since then we have continuously driven the development of our rubbers aiming to close the performance gap to speed-glued rubbers. Today we are ready - we don't need any more speed glue. We have ROXON!
Finally: Strong strokes with power-sound, highest precision, variation and stability with killer-topspins!
And all that : Without speed-gluing. For the best players with the highest demands.

ROXON - thanks to TENSOR BIOS.

I got this rubber as my first tensor rubber and I must say I was dissapointed. It is simply not up to the same level as tenergy in my book, and it was not durable. It was heavy and did not impart the amount of spin I was hoping, also I never really clicked with this rubber and found myself sending the ball long time and time again as if I never quite got the measure of it. Perhaps I should have given it a second chance but it wore out before I could. Feel free to try this rubber but IMO there are better options and I wouldn't recommend it given that it's not even particularly cheap!

The roxon is a pretty fast rubber and is espacialy good for looping,hitting in my opinion.
the sponge is soft to medium soft, and hitting with it is great, the bal goed really fast but is still quite controllable.
when you loop the ball you can create heavy spin.
An overall good rubber i think.

The ROXON 450 is a slight improvement on the plasma 430. The speed, spin and durability of the ROXON are all slightly better than the plasma 430. However, the cost of the ROXON is typically $10US more than the plasma. Also the ROXON does not come with the plastic cover sheets that come with the plasma.

The performance of this rubber would lie pretty close to a sriver with 2 layers of glue. The sheet/sponge combo is very soft but nothing mushy like catapult or mambo. Speed lies between a glued up sriver and a glued up bryce. Throw for such a soft rubber is remarkable coming in at medium to low throw. Not as low as Hammond/bryce series. Unlike some of the older genration SG effect rubbers (desto and catapult) the SG effect feels genuine and with no weird pop ups when doing low speed pushes or drop shots. For serves the rubber is a little too speedy but im sure this is a minor adjustment on my behalf. My first Andro rubber experience..impressive and also affordable (cf. Tynergy 05 the wallet buster!. Oh by the way did i mention this rubber is light as a feather
