Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

[TensorBackhand]

This Moon 12 Blue on BH got me a few winners in the match yesterday (we are playing an amateur league). Can't believe the rubber I bought for 14$ can perform with such precision, even more comfortable than Glayer09c. Of course there's Bloom Power on FH - 10.55$

Looks pretty good. I would get it, except its a full $20 on Aliexpress. I want it for $14.

If you were to judge the rubber, where does it's speed fall between Vega Pro, G1, and MXP?

Too short! Would have loved to see more rallyes and more action. But the moments we can see are pretty great. I am quite surprised how much speed you can generate with it. Although my technique is different, even with a different approach i couldnt see how i would creat that peak.
Dunno if it is just the different setup, hardness or the video itself. Either way this looks quite good.

Same. But it is on a different quality than anything else in the lower price category.

It is way slower than these rubbers but can compete in terms of spin with those.
But you get way more control and feedback so you know what is going on if you do smth off.

We have a huge 8year old talent in our club and i am tempted to get him this rubber, simply to improve his bh, but i am not sure if it is a good idea because he is quite comfy with his current setup and i dont see any errors that are caused by his equipment...
Maybe ill get back to it later, depending on his development.

So its not on the level of even Vega Pro?
How about Moon Speed 53? Several reviewers said its on the level of Vega Asia

In terms of bounce and speed? No. I would guess even the harder versions are even softer than the Vega Pro. On top the Vega Pro has a way bigger catapult.
Cant comment on Vega Asia though. Never used that rubber.

But i would say they are on the same level - just slightly different. Moon 12 is way more controllable, you can do way more with it on many many levels.
With LAC i found something that gives me somewhat of the same control on lower impact shots but more raw power if i put more effort into it. If i couldnt make use on it on my bh, i most certainly would have gone back to Moon 12 for the upcoming season because it is one of the best rubbers i played for quite some time.

the rubber is slow but enough power near the table, you have to let the ball sink into the sponge more

thanks, that's perfect 😛

What's so good about it if its slow? its' not even tacky either

Haha unless you can buy from this Shopee shop https://shopee.vn/Bộ-12-Quả-Bóng-Bàn-Bằng-Cao-Su-Xốp-Số-12-i.428978178.16894245687

I would say its speed is about 80% compare to those rubbers. Moon 12 Blue shines when playing near the table, it has way more control even when you hit hard.

The feeling

The feeling

Hey did you try the Aurora Max boosted? Did it transform into a trampoline like mine did?

Is the control really that special? I would imagine a tacky BH rubber like H3 to have great control.

Have you compared Moon 12 to the old Moon Speed? Is it very different?

I have a soft one. Not it's not like T05 but it's a beast close to the table. And not that grippy, banana flick is not easy though the rubber is pretty old. Liked it pretty much. But Moon 12 blue definitely goes to my bucket list

Maybe it only works on the mid-hard one that I have.

not that special, but for its ridiculous price. it forgives too much that helps you make less unforced errors. Tacky rubbers like H3 on BH is only good with brushing techniques, adding more power will be hard

would you recommend the rubber on BH for someone who so far has only used soft rubber on BH?

Have you tried Moon Speed? Even cheaper than Moon 12

definitely, it's worth a try for its price. It's one of the best Chinese rubbers I've tried in recent years. It has many hardness options for you to choose, I prefer medium hard on BH so I chose H-, if you like it softer you can try M+

 

[longle]

I haven't, but I took an interest in Moon Speed 53 but I saw some reviews it's a bit dead. Maybe I will give it a try after I kill this Moon 12 Blue
