I wonder why the pro version of LAC is cheaper than the normal version. Is it more sticky and otherwise same?
it has higher LUCK stat for durability

Do you mean if there are any problems with the rubber? Not at all.
I used the booster again after 1.5 months and there were no problems.

In general I think this rubber doesn't need too much booster. Probably one layer is enough.
No, I was not looking for any problems I was wondering how the rubber feels now that it is boosted. I have R3pro on two of my blades both unboosted. Can you still remember how it was unboosted and what the difference is now that you boosted it ?

I have similar feelings with you. I liked Arthur China. There is something cheating in this rubber. My LAC turned out to be quite heavy, more than 50 grams, heavier than Loki N-80, which I am used to.
Edit. Weighed my LAC cut to size 158x151 mm - 54 grams!
Wow, unless you play an enormous-sized blade, the LAC consistency isn't high. For me, LAC was hands down the lightest sticky chinese rubber, weighing around 45-46 on a European-sized blade.
This reminded me of Yinhe whose Jupiter 2 could weigh from 43 to 53 in the same hardness :D

Can't seem to find it on aliexpress.
You won't, it's only available on TaoBao ( https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=836001055209&ft=t&toSite=main ) from what I know. I got one from AliExpress in Sept (and I think I was the first here to have one in my hands, just like the Blue Sponge) but I had ordered a normal one and was not expecting that silver and carmine packaging. The vendor told me that they were identical, and only the packaging is different. Usage tells me he's not far from the truth.

Thanks for the info. I had just ordered my first LAC before reading about the pro version and thought i might have made a mistake. Seems alright though.

No, I mean the silver and red pack one that longle is talking about.

The LAC pro is 83RMB on Taobao (shipped!!) while LAC normal is above 90RMB. Is it a significant difference? No. But still weird why the pro version is cheaper.
yeah I bought it on LZD, the Pro costs 17.5$ while normal version cost 19.5$

Sorry, I played with it around 6 months ago, so don't recall the exact difference
