Why do you like the Rxton 5 so much so as to use it on FH and BH? I think its really difficult to use on BH, but makes sense as a FH rubber. Although I think there might be better options at FH as well. I have found Bloom Power to be faster and easier to use.

The Rxton 5 sponge really is quite dense and hard, so I decided to add a layer of baby oil to see if its easier to play. Overall i feel like its lively version of H3, but the sponge is just so hard.

Interesting. N80 sounds like a really good performance rubber. But its double the price of Rxton 5...so not sure if its worth it.

Do you find it to be faster and flexier than regular ALC?

I haven't tested both, but 301x apparently has Koto outer ply. BO2X has Limba outer ply. The BO2x probably has softer feel and better control. 301x has Koto outer ply so it probably feels slightly crisper. Probably overall similar speed and spin though.

Well again, I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I don't find the S-ZLC to be a good blade. I said that is is hard to use. I have no plan to buy it. I can see most top pros prefer ALC. I personally find it hard to use and hard to loop with, as does Kenta Matsudaira. The only part I disagree...

Actually you are right, I have no idea what you mean about ALC being more stable than Super ALC or vice versa. I guess over the next year or two, we shall see. If FZD, LGY, TB and other top players using ALC stick with ALC, you will be proven right. If they gradually switch to S-ALC, then you...

To me, the ZJK SZLC is far more linear than the HL5. HL5 is slow on slow and medium shots, and suddenly ramps up in power on faster shots. According to your definition, this is precisely "non-linear". HL5 is popular with top players it seems, and from my experience playing with it, its very easy...

I actually hit with the ZJK SZLC a couple days ago, I actually found quite the opposite. I found the blade TOO linear and too direct. It felt quite stiff, I couldn't get a good loop out of it.

Maybe the effect is more pronounced with the CC. When I played with the Harimoto ALC, it just felt slow all around. I didn't necessarily feel such a sudden boost in power.

Why is non-linear a bad feature? Doesnt that mean he is getting extra catapult from the blade? Why doesnt he like that?

How is N80 different from rxton 5? They seem almost the same.

Have you tried big dipper? I definitely think that is more similar to dignics. Way more bouncy and fast.

The sponge is so dense, i do think booster would help it. But out of package, i think some 729 and reactor rubbers seem better.

Oh ok. Its the cheapest and best looking carbon blade i have seen on aliexpress. Head size is pretty much standard.

Bo2x is more power. 301 is more control.

More control or more speed.

Also, the Rxton 5 is listed as 49 hardness, but it actually feels way harder. Even if you push hard, you cannot compress the sponge at all. I was thinking maybe I should put some baby oil on it to make it easier to play.

Just tried a couple rubbers from Loki. A lot of people seem to be using Rxton 5, so I decided to give it a try. The sponge is really hard, 49d, and it looks a lot like a H3. Its really dense sponge and the topsheet is tacky. Based on reviews, I thought it would be quite fast, but I was a...
