Andro NUZN 55

So I have been playing with NUZN 55 (max) on my FH for nearly a year now. Before that, I used R53. I am using it on a ZJK ALC blade.

I think this is an excellent rubber if you have the proper technique and are advanced enough to activate the sponge. I feel that you can easily play both soft shots and hard, spinny shots with this rubber. It is all about how you activate the sponge. I also noticed that most of my topspins land near the white line, which is really great for my game.

I also like to play flat hits rather than counter spins /over spins close to the table, and once you get used to the rubber, this becomes very easy. I do not play much away from the table, but when I do I can still counter the ball easily from the second or third position. You can feel the sponge absorbing the spin, and it also has quite a punch.

I believe it is worth its price tag. It is durable as well. I change my rubbers after every season (around four months), but I play at least 16 hours per week, so you could probably use it longer. Overall, it is a terrific rubber, but that being said, it is also an advanced rubber.

Used on a Viscaria, around USATT 2100 (though not currently active in tournaments). Most of my points come from 3rd or 5th counter-kills. Compared to D09c, the N55 makes accessing power much easier when timing and weight transfer are on point. It's not as bouncy as T05 but more bouncy than D09c. At 80% effort, the ball quality is among the best I’ve experienced. The N55 is excellent for 3rd ball attacks—you can flip or counter even short serves with power and insane consistency, and against players rated under 1500, the point almost always ends right there. However, against higher-level opponents you have to be more careful. That said, well-timed counters still rarely come back.For backhand flicking, I could confidently go for more power and win points outright. The most amazing ability is how I can do different counters like a flat hit or with super spin making it tough for even high level players to adjust. Those gears! I loved the ability to manipulate sidespin and topspin without sacrificing much control—something I struggled with when using D09c, in which the arc was a bit harder to control when trying to put super sidespin or changing the amount of topspin.D09c does offer better control close to the table especially during early timing with more grab.One weakness I noticed is looping against soft balls; it sometimes felt like the ball slipped unless I really engaged the topsheet.The N55 is great for users who use 3rd balls to get a ton of points but also don't want to get out of position just in case the ball comes back. You can do anything with this rubber, so if you play bad it could be that your blade is not matching and if not then it's probably your problem. Thibault Poret and Simon Gauzy are a good examples of users.

This rubber is awesome, it shines in the offensive topspin game like few I tested. And the funny thing is I hated it when glued for the first time, but this is because I glued on the backhand of a Hinoki 1-ply blade. This is a big NO, rubber shoots too much with poor control. Ok, I was not ready to give up the rubber and tried it on a more flexible blade, Yasaka Offensive 7 Power. This blade is thin, with thin carbon layers, hard walnut outer veneer and has a lot of control. It was pure luck but this combination is probably the best I have ever done. I would use N55 as BH rubber with Bluegrip C2 at FH. But C2 showed too slow for my taste and I switched, N55 FH, C2 BH. Then it becomes a new world, N55 is incredibly good when looping, and looping very hard. Its control at this situation is outstanding, ball seems to land on the table no matter what you do. And as the blade also has hard outer layer, with C2 on the other side, every blade hit is hard with some flex, so good to play with. Speed is easily provided by N55, and the balance between speed and control is the best I already have. Opening topspins is also easy to execute but counter looping is the best feature of this rubber. I believe any inner ALC blade would be a good combination to it as well. I have no doubts to put N55 in my Top 3 rubber list, with Tenergy 05 and Dignics 05.

I got two pair of these rubbers both max spunge. One pair on the Viscaria the other on Innerlayer ZLC. I used to play T05 with the Viscaria and wanted more control in the short game. Which this rubber has provided ofc not compared to beginner rubbers. It is fast, I would say little faster than 09c with a bit less control.
I ticked in "Slightly tacky" perhapes this is a bit too generous. It is very grippy, when performing the "sticky test" the ball does not stick to the rubber but lifts it a small amount.
The guys at the store said it should last longer than 09c. I have only played with it for 2months, 3-4times a week and can see no trace of use except for where I have my thumb.
I don't belive this rubber is really lacking in any department but does everything quite well. More towards spin/speed than spin/control.
This is not what they call a beginner rubber.

Currently using:
DHS Ma Long 5
Andro Nuzn 55 Max Forehand
DHS Gold Arc 8 Max Backhand
Before using the Nuzn 55 I used the Gold Arc 8 on my forehand, however as I found out it lacked spin I got myself a new sheet of this Andro rubber, I am a two winged looper with good tehnique, and what I can say is that this rubber was the reason of my high level of success since the moment I got it, best packaging so far, The rubber has an excellent european grip, if you execute the forehand loop right you will fall in love with this rubber, the service spin is off the charts, the rubber is indeed hard so mix it with softer blades, the 3rd or 5th ball attacks are basically a breeze as is the looping of backspin, the speed is also really evident, I would put it just below Tenergy 05 and Tibhar MXP, flat hits are also very easy, they give you that extra kick in, on the defensive strokes, its really good for forehand blocking, however pushing requires perfect timing and stroke execution otherwise the ball shoots off the table, the throw angle is similar to the DHS Hurricane Neo 3, as it depends on how much you grip the ball, but around medium high it is, now the worst thing is the durability, I play 2 sessions a week and the rubber died out after 3.5 months, for the price it is at, it is the only downside.

Very good rubber. In my opinion, the most modern one. It doesn't feel hard. It's fast and offering a huge variety of ball control. Contra-topspin effortlessly from any distance.

great

Great rubber

Only played a few times with it but it seems more direct and faster than the Andro Plasma I've recently been using. I need to tame it with a more closed angled on my Synteliac ZCO. It is ,however, much better against incoming top spin. You can send the ball back with interest as it's quite hard at 55 degrees.
