About Rasanter R48
R48 is the R topsheet on 48° sponge. Combined speed 94, spin 90, control 78. It exists because 47° and 50° are a real gap in the hand, even if the Combined numbers look close.
Andro still lists it on the official Energy Cell pages (node catalogue) even when the pretty /en/rasanter-r48 URL 404s. Factory thicknesses include Ultramax.
If R47 already feels solid, stay there. If you bottom it out on strong loops, R48 is the in-family tick; R50 / R53 are the larger jumps.

Factory thicknesses
Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.
- 1.8
- 1.9
- 2.0
- 2.1
- MAX
- 1.8
- Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
- 1.9
- The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
- 2.0
- Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
- 2.1
- Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
- MAX
- Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
