Arthur China is my weapon of choice for my FH. I won't say it's the best rubber ever, because it's subjective, but it's my favorite to play with right now. I tested briefly the Rxton 9, it does not deserve that I spend time and money to dig deeper. I did not feel it was less good either, just...

There's no reason that Rxton VII has a better topsheet than the 9. The main difference will the softer sponge for the VII. Topsheet will be the one of Arthur Asia, or maybe Arthur China, which is not supposed to be better than Rxton 9 (but I did not notice any difference during my bried test of...

Max thickness is a bad choice, take 1.8 or 2.0mm.

Overkill, but if you like it, take it.

I wonder how this review can be relevant when you argue an Outer ALC with Koto top layer is comparable with a Inner ALC with Limba top layer.

Indeed. V14 Pro seems the most relevant replacement. If it's too expensive, then 729 Blue ALC would fit your needs.

AliExpress. But since Brexit, I don't know about customs habits in UK.

V14 is easily available on AliExpress ...

I prefer Big Dipper to Battle III. Battle III is 3° harder than BD 38°, and it does not suit my technique and/or style at all. I did not like my test of the Battle III.

Big Dipper Pro ? https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/yinhe-big-dipper-pro I can't find it on AliExpress, anyone has info on this ?

91,5gr exactly.

It is very nice to play but also very fast, and a little heavy. I had to pair it with a not so fast rubber, Yinhe Jupiter 3 38º. And I still do some too long shots if I'm not perfectly in shape.

How about spending the money in 2 individual courses to improve your technique way much than the D09c would do?

Rxton VII on its way! Test probably on the 24th of September. Which blade? My first idea was Yinhe 05, but I also have Fang Bo B2 and Stuor Long V as weapon of choice.

The R9 I tested was boosted and very similar to my LAC unboosted. BUT, I tested it for 3 minutes, I found nothing interesting compared to my LAC, so I stopped the test. It felt similar, but maybe on some aspects, if I had investigated more thouroughly, I could have spotted some difference...

I found the R9 pretty close to the Arthur China when I tried it. Unfortunately, my friend had boosted it, so it can't be a relevant comparison. It should have been tested unboosted.

Thibar IV L, with Rxton 1/3/5 on the forehand and you'll push short anytime you want.

40° not even listed on HWSport page. I'm curious about why only 2 hardness are available. Anyway, I'm eager to test the Rxton VII.

Rxton VII available here ! 40° already out of stock. I ordered one 37°...

The rating approach is somehow very limited, even within a country. The density of players can completely change the rating distribution. For example, in France, a 1500 in Paris is way stronger than a 1500 in Toulouse. This is caused by one thing : the players are rated according to the player...
