Boosted Rxton 3 Pink/Blue?

[TensorBackhand]

I had a session today with unboosted rxton 3 pink, but it was a pretty bad session. I felt the rubber was pretty inconsistent. It was hard to chain together 2 or 3 loops. I often felt the ball would fall into the net. Its like the bond between topsheet and sponge is too weak. Sometimes in the past, this type of performance occured right before a rubber was about to bubble. My fh loops would spray all over the place.

I think maybe this rubber is better suited for bh punches rather than fh loops.

I boosted it with baby oil, it had an extreme reaction and tore its topsheet from the sponge. I guess it's up to the batch. Loki isn't known for quality...

Lo potencié con aceite de bebé, tuvo una reacción extrema y se le arrancó la capa superior a la esponja. Supongo que es culpa del lote. Loki no es conocido por su calidad...

yow much oil did you apply?

At least not for quality control and consistency.I started with Rxton 5 when they came out and they were great, now I use Rxton3 pro, also great but i agree, in between Loki produce a lot of sheit

Yeah, that's my experience too. But at that price, I think it's kinda acceptable.

Idk, you could try a very small layer. But r3 pink is already plenty fast.

. But r3 pink is already plenty fast.

works fine for me , now that I have decided to use it as a FH rubber. As a BH rubber it was always too bouncy for me.
Good solid rubber i would call it.

Yeah, I liked it too. Loki is promising as a company, a bit better qc and they could be a legit good brand.

So last week I played rxton pink and said it felt inconsistent and close to bubbling.

Today I tested it out again and I still felt it was inconsistent. So I examined it closely, and it indeed already had bubbled! It was hard to see, but the topsheet had already separated from the sponge near the center.

So yes this batch of rxton pink was terrible.

So my question, which seller has the newer better quality rxton pink and blue?

My last batch was from Table Tennis Sport store.

I don't think this will help you because when a busy seller had a good batch a month ago , they might now have a bad batch. Also remember that many shops now do not have stock, they simply pass on the order to Aliexpress and the shipping is done from an Aliexpress warehouse.

There is an item number and a barcode-number on the package, we can compare but then again I doubt you will find a seller that can find you a rubber of a certain batch

This reviewer said the pink comes in H39 but Blue comes in H40. Is that true?

So this is my new pink sheet to replace the former bubbled sheet. Also this is my first cut with the knife and it took me 3 slices to finally cut it out. Not perfect, but not too bad, right?

This new sheet is noticeably different from my previous sheet.

1) it is softer. My old one felt very hard and i loved that. This new one feels firm, but not exceedingly hard.

2) the bond seems like 50% stronger. The former sheet was laughably weak, so no wonder it bubbled. This one still feels too weak...but at least it is stronger.

3) the new sheet has way less rebound. Former sheet was a canon, every bit as powerful as D09c. This new one feels dead and doesnt rebound much.
