Anyone tried the R47 yet? All I've seen so far are a few semi-marketing blurbs. Apparently the few who have tried it have stated that it is very fast with the 2.3mm sponge (unlike what the sliders on Andro's rubbers page indicate)

Am interested in seeing whether ESN's thin topsheet / thick sponge approach actually helped (unlike the same approach in the BTY Bryce HighSpeed).

Mine are inbound. Hope to have them early next week. I'm hoping for an improvement on the el-s approach rather than something like Acuda Blue.

I think R prefixed stuff stands for rotation and V for velocity

And the V should be faster. The marketing says that V and R have different topsheet. So it's a T05/T64 idea, with the V having smaller and wider-spaced pips.

V47
But would it be the closest rubber to T64? 
Or there is another rubber which is a T64 clone?

How is the sponge? Is it easy peel off old glue without damaging the sponge?

Well, that's more a function of sponge hardness and glue used, isn't it? I've never had any issue with Tearmender and any rubber with hardness > 42 degrees.

To me, it is really curious that Andro decided to completely stop manufacturing 2 rubbers that were probably their biggest sellers (Rasant and Rasant Grip) and then not have replacement 45 degree rubbers in the Rasanter series.

While they state that this is because the new stuff is so much better, I think that it is just a financial planning / budgeting decision: after all, a lot of these TT companies (other than BTY and DHS) aren't very large. If I'm not mistaken (& I could be), Andro is owned by a TT store.

But yes, I'm curious on how this new ESN generation (thinner topsheets & thicker sponges) plays out (from what I know, Donic shall follow with their 'Blue Storm' version of the same stuff, hopefully later this year).

The reason for not having a 45 degree sponge, is mainly due to the newer generation ESN rubbers testing higher than what they play, so essentially the 47 plays/feels like 45.

Well, actually this has nothing to do with any financial planning.
andro Rasant was introduced at the WTTC in Dortmund in 2012 and at that time we never expected, that in the end we could have a rubber line with six (or seven, if you consider Rasant Chaos) rubbers.
Thus we started with the development of all these Rasant rubbers without the knowledge, that further rubbers could come later. Every time a new Rasant rubber came up, we had to fill a gap in the series. In the end we had a rubber series with an improvisational hardness structure. It was hard for customers to guess the hardness and to understand every Rasant.

When developing RASANTER, we directly had in mind to build a reasonable structure following the customer's wishes. Furthermore in tests we found out, that this structure just had the best feedback.

If you used Rasant or Rasant Grip before, there are a few options to find a similar rubber:
Rasant -> R47 or R42
Rasant Grip -> V47 or R42
