I have tried 6 LOKI rubbers now with 2 unopened, my overall experience have been positive so far. The only one that I feel the durability is slightly off is Arthur China, probably why its price has been dropping a lot on Aliexpress and in China. It is particularly bad because LAC is probably one...

It's advertisement. It is still useful for a brand like LOKI since they are not as big as DHS or Butterfly, especially in Japan. Just letting more people know about the existence of LOKI and Rxton is already a plus.

That's the problem with these reviews...good players getting more spin out of CJ8000 than me with Hurricane National🤣

I switched from Moon 12 to Rxton 3 blue and I am quite happy with it. Not very hard either, feels closer to 38d of other brands (Yinhe/DHS etc.) despite its official hardness is 40d.

Blue's sponge said 40d, I don't have a photo of the Pink's sponge. They feel similar though. Rxton 3 blue feels crisper and softer than LAC. For softer rubber I have tried Rxton 1 plus which is also good but a tad too soft for my FH, but the topsheet feels quite different. The Rxton 3...

How do you split time between blades? I also have multiple blades but I spend >90% time with just one of them (until I switch to another one).

if you actually stick by this rule would you still have as many blades as you have now?🤪

If you are playing 20+ hours a week, irregularly, you need to pay a lot of attention to getting rest, warmup and conditioning. That's a lot of hard work on the body. If you play until 3am in the morning your sleeping pattern is non-ideal either.

They may be new for Aliexpress but not in China. KLC is called "yellow ALC" in China. The KLC layer is thin for this blade series on their ads. I have never tried 729 blades but they are more known for their rubbers. Also there aren't many ALC blades that can be cheaper than these (maybe except...

Isn't Vsea inner carbon?

Regardless of where they are made, a 15 dollar rubber rarely plays as well as a 45 dollar rubber. But Chinese rubbers are certainly usable on both FH and BH. Moon speed has a slightly tacky topsheet, so you may consider that. Or just go for J3 39 since you have actually tried that.

Performance-wise neither drop off the cliff, but Big Dipper is better at looking like new. LAC oxidises in a month without losing grip.

Does your bloom spin has the ITTF stamp?

Lee Sang Su just won against Fan Zhendong for the first time in Frankfurt. Jun Mizutani won against Xu Xin at Rio in Men's Team final was his only win.

domestically it is cheaper by 10-15 CNY. Similar story with Jupiter 3 and Big Dipper (J3 cheaper in China but almost the same on Aliexpress).

Target 3 would be the one to try if you like harder rubber that should be boosted. I had the red package one at 39d, felt slightly harder than Rxton 5. Quite tacky as well.

definitely not as soft as 36d, but not super hard. maybe just a tad harder than 39d Big dipper and 40d Arthur China. All unboosted.

The new R5 said 41 on the sponge.

If Dignics 05 is too hard and Tenergy 05 FX was too soft, then Tenergy 05 sounds about right hardness. So around ESN 47-50.

are there other rubbers that you have tried on your BH that you feel is the right hardness or too soft?
