This picture tells a nice story.

Yinhe Pro 02 (cpen, 81.4g ) is waiting for DHS H3 Neo BS National, 40, 2.15mm booster setting in.
Going to pair with Loki T3, also waiting for booster setting in.

The Yinhe Yin Hang (flared) is getting the same rubbers as last week, now with booster setting in.

Booster - Haifu Seamoon 2022.

Don't wait for them to "stock".
give them your "wishlist" and ask them for an estimated price and place your order based on that (ie, let me know when it lands, so I can pay you)
This way, you can ensure what you want, will come your way.
or
You can order what they order, but it might not be what you want and we back to round 1 again

Thanks for checking, Tony!
I also did some search and TT-Maximum seems to carry Yinhe stuff, clothes too. However they are from Ukraine and in Kharkiv so like though... I dropped the shop a whatsapp message, since they also carry some Yasaka Hovering dragons which I am interested in (again).

Here is March samples

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Taking off my BH H8-80 38D and putting on H9 Purple (80# sponge - this is same as my 8-80) 37D
FH is H3 national blue sponge 40 deg.

On another setup
H9 Blue on FH. This is likely the cheapest 22# sponge in the market, (same blue sponge as H3 prov/nat blue sponge)
H9 Pink on BH. This is the conventional 20# sponge in the market (same as normal orange sponge).
The last time I used 20# was before 22# came out....

So bummed out about the RXTON1 Special xD
I ordered a sample but it seems they forget it in my order.
The RXTON III feels so mushy to me RXTON 3 Blue and Pin well they're a diff rubber entirely from the regular Rxton 3, RXTON1 is kinda soft but alright will try it more extensively on the Loki W01 blade.
So far I liked the Arthur China the best, I used it on my Stiga Carbonado 45 and was a beast.

Arthur China is pretty good.
But I wonder if I should go for H3 commericial or Arthur China.

Rxton 3 / 5 is forehand type of rubber

the 3 blue and pink is more for backhand.

I agree with some that the numbering/naming is a bit confusion.
Loki should copy Hurricane 9, a new series for a different rubber.

I tested so many Loki/Yinhe rubbers lately, I am a bit confused though haha.
Now i'm busy with H9

True, the dilemma of choice is kinda nice to have though xD
How about the Nittaku H3's hahaha.

Maybe Loki produced too many of the original Rxton 1/3/5s and they weren't selling well. I saw an older thread saying that they were released and costed around $17 at the time. I just picked up a Rxton 5 for around $8.

Loki Rxton 3 Pink and Blue getting some good reviews. Maybe they're hoping older Rxtons get a bit more shine from the newer and better versions.

Also, it looks like there's also a Rxton 1 Plus in addition to the Rxton 1 Special. These guys seem to like it a lot as a backhand rubber:

. They mention it being soft for a Chinese rubber.

Looks like it's selling for around $15 on Aliexpress but I also found Thai Lazada selling it for $9.

Loki - Jan 2023 (need to sort out photos / didn't take a combined photo)

Yinhe - Feb 2023.
12 blades correction: 16 blades (4 was hiding in the bat covers)
32 rubbers
2 bat covers, some shirts and a skipping rope (I guess they know I need to loose some weight after the double New Year)
View attachment 24358

Looking forward your insights regarding that pro11s, and also uranus pro (I've used it before, but encountered product inconsistencies 😭)

Currently using pro12s (the gimmick triggers my EJ spirit, big time. Limba-inner composite, long V-esque, koto-outer composite, Vis-esque 😂) and so far so good. Enough 'oomph' for double-sided boosted commercial h3

is Rxton 1's quality close to CJ8000?

 

[TheProfessor]

is Rxton 1's quality close to CJ8000?

Not sure about the quality but it's quite different. The CJ8000 is on the grippy side of things and Rxton1 is somewhat tacky.
On a Sanwei Froster blade the Rxton1 felt quite mushy to me, on a Loki W01(visc-esque composition as well) it will more stable and "better" to me.
Loki W01 with Rxton1 on forehand and EL-D on my backhand will be my main racket for a while, so I'll provide more insights in the coming days regarding the Rxton1

haha,

the Nittaku's, been around for a long time.
not my cup of tea. Its totally different rubber.
For FH H3, I like the original 22# blue sponge

I'm not sure what is the historical selling price of Loki rubbers.
The Rxton is well priced, the Arthur and T series for example is a bit expensive.
Some of the high end Loki blades are expensive (in line with European brand pricing)

These new color rubbers and "softer" rubbers were designed for the BH.
with the primary theory of your harder sponge chinese rubber on the FH.

Of course, player who prefer softer rubbers can use them on the FH too

 

[Gozo Zyreruna]

Are these rubbers for your own use or are they for your team use?

No ESN / Tensor / Spring sponge rubbers?

We're not gonna be friends.

The newer Rxtons being for BH use makes some sense and I like that explanation a lot better.

Still doesn't fully explain the unhelpful naming of the new BH rubbers. Plus and special don't really help. Having the new Rxton 3 be blue and pink helps, but the name still stays the same confusingly. Also, if they are good for the BH, one would assume that they would work fine with whatever was on the FH.

In any case, I've seen pretty of glowing reviews of the Rxton 3 blue/pink as well as Rxton plus for BH and, given the low prices, I think more people besides myself would be interested if the marketing made more sense. I watch rubber reviews in Japanese to learn the language and would never have made sense of the Rxton offerings otherwise.

these are for me to test out.

I didn't order in DHS's ESN rubber.
I want to try out DHS's own "euro friendly" rubbers.
Lovely the 80# sponge
been using the 8-80 for few months, now using the H9 with 80#

What does Euro Friendly rubber mean?

 

[hclnnkhg]

What does Euro Friendly rubber mean?

probably rubbers that are easy for players who used to play with esn rubbers to transition to.

The colorful h9, i suppose?

Anyway, regarding products testing, is it going to be posted in this thread, or another new separate thread?
