Rxton 7 vs Arthur China

[Gtsnake]

I really loved my LAC with 2 layers of booster. The only problem was it developed a bubble after one week of use.

How much bounce did the booster add?

How much bounce did the booster add?

A good amount. I can't give a measurement but it was dead as a brick without booster. Afterwards it was very usable and had a nice cracking noise when hit hard. I loved the grip on slow balls and can over come any incoming spin.

I'm too afraid to boost my LAC because the bonding is too weak.

But I may boost the Rxton 7 to see how much effect it adds.

I boosted the H39 Rxton 7 and the effect was moderate but not great.

That's probably why I got a bubble. Please let us know if the Rxton works out good.

Plz just dont boost LAC. Instead develop a decent bh technique and youll be able to do everything with it, with good quality.
It is fast enough in itself. In most cases it wont bubble at all (even on fh i used it several months until i had the first little bubble).

Regarding the m12 debate: m12 in the medium version is rather a slower rubber. Not on the defensive side but it is not a tenergy 05 either. Something more like vega europe for example.
Depending on your own abilities it gets faster with the harder versions.

I did some more playing with the Rxton 7 H40. It's pretty fun rubber to use. It has a really dwelly feeling, with decent speed/rebound. It's actually quite different from LAC.

LAC feels more direct, and seems like it has more power. Rxton 7 is more dwelly, and grabs the ball better. Rxton 7 creates more whippier shots.

I'm really starting to enjoy the Rxton 7 H40. It's pretty fun to play with, it's got decent speed, and good catch.

I'm not sure if I should boost it and risk messing it up

What blade are you using it on right now?

What blade are you using it on right now?

Right now I have it on Stuor Harimoto. But previously I had it on Sanwei 75 inner. It was great fit on both.

It doesn't have that dense Chinese sponge feel. It has a meshy feel, kinda like a hybrid feeling

Don't boost, you don't need to.

 

[TensorBackhand]

Don't boost, you don't need to.

I have rxton 7 on fh and rhyzen zgr on bh right now. Zgr is still quite a bit more catapulty. I want rxton 7 to be slightly faster, but not to overtake zgr.

I dont know how boosting will change it

You don't need a faster rubber at your level (like I don't need something faster). Your technique will make you shoot winners more than the rubbers. Take 2 hours with a private coach and you'll have an incredible FH.

I took off the Rhyzen ZGR from bh and put on the Dynaryz ZGR on bh with Rxton 7 on forehand. I'll do some more practice with the Rxton 7. Eventually I may just boost it to see if I can get a bit more power.

Yesterday I tried looping with both the Rhyzen ZGR and Rxton 7. Both were good, but Rhyzn ZGR just has more power, more dynamic.

 

[Gtsnake]

I love the feeling of boosted LAC. The tackiness gives control and the hard sponge gives the punch. I love that feeling.

Today I played Rxton 7 on fh with Dynaryz ZGR on bh. It's a really fun setup. I felt Rxton 7 can loop serves very comfortably, and loop underspin. I really recommend Rxton 7 H40 for FH. It feels very controlled and spinny.

The only downside is that compared to Dynaryz ZGR, it doesn't have as much speed. Maybe I will boost it over the weekend after a few more fun sessions. I just hope that I don't regret it. I'm just really curious how it responds to booster

 

[TensorBackhand]

I boosted the Rxton 7 and it had a nice moderate effect. Now the Rxton 7 bounces with the same feeling and rebound as my Dynaryz ZGR. Not bad

 

[TensorBackhand]

After more testing, I am starting to feel like Rxton 7 is more suited for bh than FH.

It kinda feels too soft for FH, despite being listed as H40. The Rxton 7 works well for my bh punch and loop.
