I am thinking of using the newly arrived Rxton 9 forehand and lac backhand with my Sanwei 75 outer alc blade. Should I boost my rxton 9 and lac? Or should I glue it directly as it comes?If I need to boost, how many layers should I do?
Lac is very hard, so if you use on bh, i think booster might soften it up abit and make it easier to use for bh

How about rxton 9?
Also very hard but because I do not know your skills I suggest to use both LAC and R9 without boosting and get the feel for the rubbers. If you feel, like i did, that it is not possible to get any kind of feel and speed out of these rubbers unless you whack them real hard, you can always start boosting. I use my R9 now with 2 layers of seamoon btw.

Also, unlike many others, I am not a friend of soft BH rubbers .
I also find that boosting a 41 hardness rubber until one made it into a 37H works with some sponges but not with others. With some sponges one will get them to be softer but they virtually turn into a uncontrollable mush. 🤣

My favorite BH rubbers still are H3 and R5 with just one layer of seamoon. Note, I am talking about the old sticky versions here.

LAC doesnt actually feel that hard, especially on a stiff blade.
I am using it on the Stour Lin blade and it feels really good.
It creates a lot of spin with just simple brushing movements and speed is always there when you need it.
Both for FH and BH.
Can recommend to just try it out at first,
I liked it so much that I bought 3 more LACs for a cheap price during the sale.
I play with Rxton 9 boosted with 2 layers, didnt play with it unboosted so far.

With the Lin blade I can understand why Lin yun jus serves can be so effective and his topspins as well.
It looks like a simple movement but the spin creates is very deceptive and the blade gives enough speed from close to the table.

I've got about 30 hours on my LAC sheet and no issues so far with it. Looks and feels like-new. So there very well might be a 'good batch' of LAC that doesn't really sufffer from early bubbling issues. Another explanation is that I don't have enough power or the right technique to destroy the thing quickly.

I received my H3N National BS sponge for my Long 5x and also received the Harimoto clone from Stuor, i will see how good is this blade as some mentioned compared to Long 5 clone, if it will be that good then i might get more selling L5 clones i have.

So what other clone or cheap blades i can think about in ST handle that is really amazing in speed and control at least for fun? I bought 6 Long 5 clone blades with two being that W986 design with Ebony top layer, i might keep this and sell two of Limba layer and replace it with Harimoto, but i am open to any more options that is good like from Yinhe or Palio or Loki or Sanwei or whatever.
