@longle whats wrong? You not intrigued in trying it again? :ROFLMAO:
My recent sheets are fine again btw besides my edge hitting issues on which the lac topsheet loses its grip too and bubbles.

So i have to agree that the topsheet somewhat lacks some hold on the sponge.

Iam curious if they maybe fixed the issues in the newer versions of the rubber but i never got a green cover lac until now
Looking at the sites dropping down the price for LAC, I guess they want to clear the stock of the old package rubbers. I'd rather wait a bit until they are selling the new package version :rolleyes:

do you remember reading somewhere the usual declaration :
" new packaging but same product" ?????
Or do the state that the green cover is a new improved version ???

no evidence that the new package means improved version, just my faith :ROFLMAO: I'm still looking for a chance to come back to LAC. Best thing is they release a Pro/NT blue sponge version :rolleyes:

Maybe Rxton 7 could fill that 'd09c' spot, and Rxton 9 H3 National? They seem to be taking their time perfecting them and testing them with players from China's provincial teams.🙏

Btw, I've been testing the LAC they sent me for about 16 hours now and I must say, it's made a great impression. Today, I used it in a regional tournament, and it performed quite well on the BH, I'll share photos and my opinion later

I really want to pick up another sheet of the on-sale LAC, but my head says I should wait until Rxton 7 is out to see if its better.

we might need to wait a bit more. my agent confirmed this to me "RXTON7 has not been fully put into production, but RXTON 9 is already in mass production" a bit hyped about it lol.
Currently only possible to buy samples directly from china. Official aliexpress store should have it listed in October
my guess based on the difference on my list prices and retail for other rubbers its that it would be around $28-32, we will see. They only have plans to create stock in Black (Interesting since @Tony's Table Tennis had a Red sheet sample) but its logical if its designed to compete with H3neo national for FH i guess

Waiting for @Tony's Table Tennis to share some info or mini "review" to create more hype lol hehehe

Yeah it looks pretty exciting. But $30 is a lot for Loki. I'm more excited about Rxton 7, because H3 isn't that expensive to begin with. I got a 41d H3 for $17.75 from TT11. It's not the national version, but shouldn't be that different.

are you saying a $17.75 H3 shouldn't be that different to a national #22 version H3?

I think the price and value depends on the quality and characteristics of the rubbers, also i dont think loki its trying t o be a ultra cheap brand either. If the price feels right for the performance & quality i think it will sell. Yinhe has really cheap rubbers but Jupiter 3 Tour is $40 for example

There is a lot of discussions about H3 blue sponge national & commercial etc, so you will find conflicting opinions on the matter.

2 different rubbers is not much different (i'm sure the thousands of #22 national users will laugh very loud)

its like super april fools day

I have H3 commercial, provincial, and national. I don't find them to be very different at all.

I remember TT11 did a bunch of test reviews where they admitted they couldn't tell the difference between them, so yes I would say the difference is not very noticeable.

Well I'm keeping an open mind. But I would like to see how different Rxton 9 is from Rxton 5 and N80

Well we cant know until we try them. My agent said it comes pre filled with oil, so its factory boosted and with a layer of glue like H3Neo. Here is some more info if you want to take the datasheet of the brand into consideration (notice Rxton 7 is there too)
topsheet Only in black "Sticky 3" like arthur china.
Hardness 40.5 sponge color blue
Sponge type "L03" So its some kind of Dense sponge "LOXA" like rxton 5 but different number
Speed control spin 12 ("max")

curious about Rxton 7:
Sticky 3
Sponge k03 "same"as rxton pink & blue (note that they said that europe & diamond uses that K03 sponge, but on the old list i shared it said N01 🤷‍♂️)
40° hardness
Speed 11.5 control 12 spin 12
