Received my Aliexpress sale orders of Loki Rxton 3 Blue and Loxi Rxton I Plus. Loki Rxton 3 has a hard cream sponge, on the same level of hardness as Rxton 5 (apparently 41d), maybe just a little softer. I was a bit disappointed that the topsheet doesn't feel all too tacky. It's less tacky than...

I think it's unfair to say the Fextra is a ripoff of the Stiga Clipper. The Fextra uses two outer limba layers instead of just one so the composition is different. Besides, they ripped off the Carbonado handle (I even had a guy at the club exclaim "you bought a Stiga?"). So it can't be a...

Appreciate it. Looks it's not just a blue version of the Fextra 7 but even the name is different. This blade is called the Pro Fextra V. Can't find any info about it online. For $30, I'm willing to be the guinea pig here though.

Is this available anywhere? Kinda like this color scheme better. Definitely goes better with my Moon 12 Blue rubber.

There are a lot of sellers offering the blade on aliexpress. Because they sell in such high volume, you can probably specify a weight that is ideal for you as well.

I couldn't have asked for a better comparison. Thank you kindly for taking the time to answer my questions. From your description and from the pictures it really seems like the SG handle is very similar to the Fextra. The thumbrest on the SG looks like it has a more gentle taper as well. Which...

Right when I've got my mind set on sticking with the Fextra, you are making it hard to resist trying out the Acoustic SG. Can you compare the handle of the SG to the Fextra and the YSE? The Fextra handle is great, but I guess it could be a bit slimmer for my taste where the flare meets my...

Franziska vs Dang was one of the best matches I've seen in a while. Franziska stole a set from Dang with two amazing returns against what looked like easy finishing shots by Dang. Lot of highlight moments, and even some ref drama. This match had it all.

I'm really interested in the Acoustic in the SG handle since I still like everything else about the Acoustic except for the grip. But I've learned my lesson and am not going to spend $120+ on a blade until I've actually felt it in my hand. The great thing about the Fextra being so cheap is I...

I always thought Dignics was a awkward sounding name that didn't roll off the tongue all too well. But "Elfrark" definitely has it beat by a long shot.

I'm kinda going through the same thing as you after playing with the Nittaku Acoustic, Yasaka Sweden Extra, and Sanwei Fextra 7. Acoustic's small handle and how it moves around in my hand made it very inconsistent and unpredictable. When it was working for me, the feel was great. I really...

My Rxton 5 sponge had printing on it that indicated "41H" so at least Loki believes the sponge hardness is 41 degrees.

Loki Rxton 7 and 9 now? The Rxton series has been out for only a few years now and it's already hard to keep track of all the variants. Giving Hurricane series a run for it's money. There's Rxton 1, Rxton 1 Plus, Rxton 1 Special, Rxton 3, Rxton 3 Pink/Blue, Rxton 3 Top, Rxton 5, and then the...

Do you know the website and the process for verifying Yinhe products? I've gone through a bunch of their products and haven't tried doing authenticity checks yet.

The amount that is claim he racked up in gambling debt was quoted as around $750,000 USD. He might not have that amount in liquidity. You can be worth millions and still not have $750k just sitting around to pay your bookie. A $750k marker from your bookie is pretty big, and it would make sense...

This spreadsheet hasn't been updated in a while I think. I submitted the values for my 78g Acoustic and 83g Fextra months ago and it hasn't appeared on this list. If anyone is curious: Nittaku Acoustic - 1205 Hz Sanwei Fextra 7 - 1290 Hz

Reputation of the store is important. The high volume sellers are making so much money selling real stuff at immense volume and low margin that they have to have a good relationship with the manufacturer. Brand also matters. Haven't heard of anyone receiving fake Yinhe, Sanwei, or 729 stuff. I...

Just to add to this thread, my sheet of Yinhe Moon 12 Blue was 60g uncut and 44g cut to a 157x150mm Sanwei Fextra 7. I only got to use it for a little bit, but I can confirm BH blocks with it felt very easy. Passive blocks fell very close to the net and lost speed resulting in an awkward...

@lodro @TensorBackhand Just wanted to drop a quick Rxton 5 update in case you guys were interested. I ended up reboosting the Rxton 5 again, since I suspected I went too conservative the first time. I ended up applying two more thin layers of baby oil and caused the rubber to dome...

Dang Kuo just demolished that No. 2 ranked kid. For all of you high level analysts, I have a few questions about that match. Do you guys think these two play often and Kuo just is reading the other kid like a book? I noticed on serve receive he's almost always in the right spot ready to make...
