This is extremely good blade. And the handle is good

I played it unboosted at first and loved it. Later i added booster, but didnt change much

Im very confused about Esn sponge specs. Looking at this photo, which rubber is thicker? To my eye, black looks way thicker. But on the specs, the red is 2.2mm Max G1. Black is 2.15mm Dragon grip. Are my eyes deceiving me? Or are esn specs false?

I can tell you the Rxton 3 is quite good. In particular, I feel the catchiness of the rubber is quite high. It feels quite easy to do loops and banana flicks.

Exactly 100% agree. When I first started testing out these Chinese rubbers I was very impressed by how good they are. It made sense to me. BYD makes the cars of tomorrow today, why couldn't they produce a decent TT rubber. But a lot of people online are still highly skeptical. Funny thing is...

Bubble isn't specific to booster. Bubble is when the topsheet separates from the sponge. Sometimes it happens to very hard hitting loopers. It depends on the rubber, but some rubbers don't react well to booster and it causes the topsheet to separate from the sponge. I believe Nittaku Hammond...

You apply the baby oil on the sponge, exactly the same way as booster. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/experience-with-some-other-loki-rubbers-arthur-china-gtx-pro-inc.26965/post-417927 Check here for how I did it.

Both are very hard, like H41. Rxton Pink is listed as H39, but it just felt much harder than that.

Yes, you can boost Jupiter 3, Big Dipper, Bloom Power. I boosted all of them. Some members boosted Arthur China. Some people said the booster caused the rubber to bubble.

Also, just to be clear: I boosted the GTX with TT booster plus 1 layer of baby oil. https://www.johnsonsbaby.com/baby-products/johnsons-baby-oil I found that the booster added a lot of catapult to the rubber, but the baby oil added dwell time/control.

For example I boosted my GTX 3 years ago. But it is still very bouncy like D09c.

In my experience, the effect is permanent. So on the first day of booster, maybe the effect goes from 0 to 100. Then on the 2nd week the effect is 90. And at the 6th week the effect is 80. And after 3 years, the effect is 75. So for me, I usually just boost a rubber one time (with 2 layers of...

If you get booster, then it really opens up your options for rubber. Arthur China, Jupiter 3, Big Dipper, Bloom Power are all really really good without booster. But if you also plan on boosting, there are rubbers that can be boosted into the same speed and spin as D09c. I found Loki's GTX to...

After you test them, please give us a ranking of those rubbers. I'm curious which rubbers you like best of those batch. Do you boost as well?

Sure. I also have D09c and Stiga Dragon Grip on some blades now. I don't feel the Chinese rubbers are worse, maybe just slightly different in feeling. But in spin and loop quality, I feel they are really similar. You said you like D09c and K3, but why do you have G1 in your profile?

Maybe you are 2300? I don't know. You should upload video of your play. But even at a high level, I think these rubbers will be good for you.

I have about 8 different racket setups at any moment. But the one I listed in my profile is my strongest setup at the moment, so I just listed it. I'm very close to coming back to Jupiter 3 and Big Dipper again. They are so fun to play with, so everytime I put them down I will start missing them...

There is also Arthur Asia and Arthur Europe, but I haven't tested those recently, so I kinda forget how they played.

I just updated the guide with Rxton 3 Pink as well.
