No I didn’t weight them, the Arthur is lighter than the N80. I have applied 2 coats of Falco long term booster to the N80, 1st coat last night, it was dry this morning, so applied 2nd coat, this had dried and the sheet had domed nicely during the day!! Sweet!! Glued the N80 this evening while...

I think the Arthur Series is made in Germany, so is likely to be ESN, Not sure about the N80

I Received 2 more Loki rubbers this evening, the N80, which is meant to be Wang Hal’s choice of rubber and the Arthur Europe Diamond. This is just a 1st impressions post whit a review of how they play to follow once the boosting process has finished. LOKI N80 nano. Packaging for the N80 was...

Hi Paul, I’m from Hertfordshire, welcome!!

4 x 3 timber golf club!!;)

There could be an extremely small amount of deflection, probably none, blades are just generally stiff and resist the deflection. The potential is there, but it’s likely it never happens because the speed and force required to be imparted during the stroke is too high to be achieved. If a TT bat...

Just to clarify, when the ball impacts the bat, whether the bat is stationary or moving, the impact causes the blade to flex, and it can’t catch up with the ball. this post was also meant to reply to nymose’s post #39. :o

The flex Carl is talking about is flex caused by impact of the ball onto the bat, when the bat is stationary, and it can’t rebound back fast enough to keep up with the ball as it bounces off the bat. You’re talking about flex caused by the forward acceleration of the stroke , which I feel would...

I’ve seen a few golf club reviews, where they have talked about the flex of golf club shafts, Pro fitters used to say the flex of the shaft should be fitted to swing speed. But this maybe changing, during testing, the distance gained for a player with a swing of ‘x’ speed using different flex...

Carl, Would you say Blade hardness / softness is then sort of similar to rubber hardness / softness in that soft could be seen a more forgiving?

There is a definite trend for harder rubbers, usually in the form of harder sponges, especially for ESN rubbers & BTY to a certain extent. This seems to be accompanied by thinner top sheets, ‘max’ sponge thickness is therefore slightly greater. So there’s generally a higher % of hardness, as...

Hi, Following on from Lula’s post and that you would like Hinoki outer plies. Donic has the Dotec range, these have an ergonomic handle, these handles help close the blade angle on the forehand side, backhand side is slightly more open, so you have to be aware and adjust on the BH side...

Yogi, How do you feel the Loki rubbers you tested compare to H3 Neo Prov and the STN, I’ve practiced for about 6 hrs with the Arthur rubbers and they are shaping up very nicely!! The H3 Neo has better spin but the Arthur rubbers aren’t far behind!!

Hi, I tried both R43 and FXS, mainly on Backhand, and I found that I thought the FXS lacked spin, because of how the BH serves ‘felt’ R43 was similar but a little better. when I tried FXS on FH side, I remember being a little more consistent when looping because it was slower than the FH rubber...

Hi Yogi, Products received are of a high standard, good quality. The service from PingPongHouse was very fast. Excellent service!!! I’m just not used to ordering equipment from outside of Europe, and don’t know much about the sites / shops selling equipment or their reputation!! You hear...

Not that I’m aware of!! I have the N80 (tacky)and Arthur Europe Diamond (non tacky) rubbers coming from Aliexpress ‘Official Loki site’ So really not sure these will be legit as well !!! The Asia and Europe rubbers did play well though!!

Loki Arthur Europe. Loki Arthur Asia. Packaging was good quality, each rubber has a plastic film on the top sheet that was very satisfying to peel off!!! You could tell straight away that they were tacky!! There’s nothing like peeling a film off a tacky top sheet!! On inspection the quality...

This was something that I had noticed as well, so a few minutes ago I logged out, reopened TTD and opened this thread. The option to vote was there, so I voted No. I had to leave the thread and reopen it to see that the counter had clicked up one vote for the No’s. Then I used my partners...

I’m sorry that you feel forced into making a response in the form of an answer.

Well I’m sorry you feel that way. It appears you think this thread is a waste of time not only my comments. So yes I don’t understand why you are posting on it.
