Yeah, you're right and don't know why only one shop sells it. Even on taobao it's rare. Im guessing Loki doesn't make all that much of this version. Not really sure why would pro players choose LAC pro over H3BS. Like what's their motivation to change from boosting H3 to a fairly unknown brand...

Rakza 7 soft I'm a bit familiar with since my girlfriend uses that on her BH, but still I only tried it not really played with it much. Swat Spin is fairly new but it's really good in fact reminds me a bit of the Mantra Pro. Both have 42-3 deg hardness so not much in that, Swat spin topsheet is...

Is the red bladeface size known? 157x150mm or it's different?

Chinese don't really make such kind of tensor rubbers as Vega. Even their faster rubbers are playing differently, they are fast but not catapulty. You can try Moon Speed or Moon 12 they are kinda like a tensor but not really. Yasaka Hovering Dragon is fast and good but not catapulty and is...

The New Era is the limba top ply with the fancy triple artificial fiber 2nd layer. It's pretty much like a thicker Joola Trinity blade.

The Quanshibao F1 is a good rubber. First I tried it on a Lin Yun-Ju blade which was not mine and it felt like STN, spinny, quite hard, bit flat arc. Funnily it didn't feel particularly fast on this blade for sure around STN speed which is not bad but not special, but it felt hard and not fast...

Maybe take a look at Mantra Pro hard. Should be similar hardness as v20 extra, should be faster than v20 but maybe not as much as v15, and it isnt as spin sensitive as v15 tho I wouldn't classify v15 overly spin sensitive either. Actually the mantra pro hard I never used, only mantra pro mediun...

I got another LAC Pro and been testing it against normal LAC and for sure thd pro is a harder sponge, which is weird since they are both rated at 40deg by the manufacturer. Also the pro is less bouncy and less sensitive to spin, so much better for serve receive for me. This LAC pro is however...

Moon 12 has two different topsheet. One with the old Yinhe logo and one with the new Yinhe logo. The old Yinhe logo version is stiffer and not so grippy, the new Yinhe logo version was much more grippy and more flexible. I only saw the new topsheet on Moon 12 M- hardness so far and everything...

A bit head heavy like all DHS and Stiga head shape. The balance I wouldn't worry that much about, you can always just stick a coin to the end of the handle. But you need to figure out if you want 301, X, Z, T... so many options.

That Mark V bend is pretty surprisingly serious as I have been saying that more modern pored sponges tend to pick up the air better and leak it slower. From all the rubbers I tried still Butterfly Spring Sponge X is the best by far. Even tho Spring sponge rubbers also get flat from doming after...

I think a Glayzer 09c FH and Glayzer BH is a good combo. Or Loki Arthur China FH, Glayzer BH. Or DHS Hurricane 8-80 38 FH and Glayzer BH. Or Sanwei Target National FH, or Sanwei Gear Hyper 39 FH, Palio The Way FH... I guess I have a tacky FH bias, but it's balanced. BH side Glayzer is probably...

Yasaka Hovering Dragon, special edition. Great on both sides. Some LP on Ali are quite interesting but maybe that is beyond the scope of experiment.

Just some unpopular ideas: Some version of DHS 301. Should be interesting since on low power the koto is quite bouncy, if you hit harder it still has the power since it's not a thin blade but also not thick. You have options for the carbon. Relatively cheap. I can tell you it's quite popular in...

Revoldia CNF would be a woody feel but slower outer fiber blade from Butterfly. Tho this is not carbon. The main difference between the TBS, Viscaria, FZD ALC, TB ALC is the handle shape and design. Pick the one that is most comfy if you buy one of the Butterfly blades but basically every brand...

2nd training with normal el cheapo version of hovering dragon on FH. Blue sponge, very light and all but even on the first training I felt something weird but couldn't put my finger on it. 2nd training the ball ripped the topsheet. The YHD has a thin topsheet but this copy I have has uneven...

The hour of the day can change the hardness of the sponge and rubber. Tho I wouldn't blame it on the hour but on the temp changes during the day.

I just changed a rubber on my blade and from 191g it's now 185g. The whole racket became slower, less bouncy, much more controlled and stiffer. It's very obvious on the side which I didn't touch. Same blade, just a rubber change. If the 94g MLC will not be heavier because the handle is...

Yeah, it sucks but what can you do? Loki is obviously a budget oriented brand so far. Maybe later they will change. If you can find these rubbers in physical store you could measure the weight of each sheet. That should indicate sponge density somewhat.

Depends on their standards. For example if they state the sponge is 40 degrees however anything between 35 and 45 is ok according to their standard then it's withing their spec and acceptable. Of course assuming they actually test... Not every promo video is reflecting reality. For tighter...
