  1. R9+LAC on a custom outer ALC

    I did and i probably will return to it unboosted. The difference is negligible though. Boosting does have an affect on the rubber, but the change over all is bigger than any layer of boosting can do. Maybe i find a decent footage of that too, so i can show you what i mean. I speak mostly...
  2. R9+LAC on a custom outer ALC

    So here i am switching equipment again in the middle of the season. At least not by much, but something i seriously didnt want to do. But as per usual there were some issues in my gameplay i could address with equipment change. More so i was intrigued by the R9, and got annoyed by the durability...

    Just for you guys i just put up some bh shots into a clip from some training matches i found from last week, EDIT: I should mention that my trainingpartner is playing with no sponge Tibhar Grass on bh. And the match was at the end of the session. I am more than away that my posture overall...

    That is why i cant use it anymore ;) But i am working on a complete review about my current blade and the setup overall.

    Hm Id say that depends on several factors and in which way you want them to get close? Speed? Spin? Control? I currently play LAC on bh and reaching new all time highs by the week. Right now my backhand is my biggest strongpoint and my go to tool to open up the rallyes and pressure my...
  6. SANWEI Target National vs DHS Hurricane III Provincial

    Definitly. R9 is faster, even more so boosted. Throw is slightly higher. Sidenote: i still use LAC on bh though. My biggest concern is, that the rubber reminds me too much of the H3 bs. I used 2 sheets of H3 bs so some months and needed to get rid of them, because i was simply not good...
  7. SANWEI Target National vs DHS Hurricane III Provincial

    The chickenwings were more towards the stn users. Rxton 9 itself is a way faster and more dynamic rubber. I will most certainly use my next sheets completely without booster, because i currently have some issues with hitting too far out of the table in several situation i should manage usually...
  8. SANWEI Target National vs DHS Hurricane III Provincial

    Well i dont know what you guys put on your sponges when you boost, but my Rxton 9 and my STN back in the day domed. Maybe you should stop stealing the skincare of your babies and start using booster oil... No joke, both didnt dome exactly as hard as my H3s but not that far of either. On...
  9. How long can I leave boosted rubbers without glueing onto blade

    In my early boosting times i searched for recipes on how to boost and one recipe actually mentioned to "seal" the boosted rubber in a dark box. I actually never tried it but was always curious. Nowadays i simply put it in a drawer because i left my h3 out in the open once and it caught a line...
  10. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    I agree with everything but the gripping matter. I had the feeling v15 felt harder overall and couldnt grip the ball that well. I had to tweak my technique tremendously by opening up way more to hit consistently with it on my bh. Not much issues on fh though. With moon 12 i could do whatever...

    Weird to put out the national version first and come up with a provincial version some week or maybe months later (depending on when they officially release it). Now they just have to make a red and softer version too and we have somewhat of a substitute for the Ma Long setup ^^

    Just opened my second sheet just for you ;) It has that usual smell you have when you open up a H3 as well. Funny enough, the moment i peel of the plastic sheet from the sponge the glue layer came of a bit, so i just tried to rip is off. What can i say, something that was always a huge...

    I hit a shitload of seriously hard edge shots yesterday. And there is nothing visible on the sponge. So in terms of durability it is nothing like lac. Im almost certain to stick with R9 on fh and lac on bh. Maybe revisit Moon blue next year, we will see. The only question remaining is, if i...
  14. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Slightly higher and wider arc than lac. Lacs throw is a little bit lower. I tested a lot of looping against close to the table underspin pushes and serves, and it was easier to lift and control the loop with R9 than lac. This fits way better for my outer alc, because it usually shoots the ball...
  15. Why can't they remove the dust from new balls?

    It's not. Be glad to not have to deal with that sad excuse for a ball. Sadly in our region it is highly used. Yeah newer rubber grip even those balls better and they can somewhat use them, but if you would test and compare it propperly, you would notice quite fast, that those balls cant seem...
  16. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    At this state i have to agree. Will test it boosted today - 1 bigger layer of FTL. It didnt dome too much but it changed the topsheet and the visibility of the pimples a lot. Currently i am pretty sure i will stick with it at least unboosted. The only disadvantage it has against lac is, that...
  17. Why can't they remove the dust from new balls?

    They have coating but that is rather weak compared to other balls like the garbage andro 3s. Imo some shittier balls need this dust to classify as a "ball". If you play with andro 3s out of the box, it is dusty as hell but at least works a little bit as a ball. It takes spin and speed in way...
  18. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Actually i never had the issue clearing the net. It was more an issue of speed. Even hitting through was not seriously fast enough to pressure my teammates. Hitting through the sponge was actually quite easy, but that would be the main reason why you bottom out really fast with medium soft. I...
  19. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Hm maybe i have to revisit it at some point in a higher hardness. I mean i had medium soft which should be waaaaay softer than yours and therefore too easy to bottom out in terms of speed. Sadly i only have one shop available that has your hardness degree,
  20. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Nah, my guess is the boosted and softer sponge. Yeah that, and the fact that i can control almost everything with it on my bh. I mean i could go back to Moon blue 12 for that matter, but the soft version i had, had a speed ceiling i reached way too easy, so my shots were too slow in the end...
