Telson 100 is really good, but it's dedicated, at least on the BH, to players that spin all their strokes ( I guess players that are a lot better than me), or players that need a low arc.
Is that arc similar to h3 or lower? Just changed to h3 37 following forum advice, but might want to give the telson 100 on bh a try along with the rxton 9 on fh

Received the majority of my 11/11 haul yesterday, so decided to glue the Telson 100 and T3 W81 I bought.

Looking at them side-by-side, T3 W81 is curled at the corners, while T100 is completely flat. The sponges seem identical, apart from the color and thickness. T100 topsheet seems thinner, thus more sponge available on MAX thickness.

Looking at the topsheets, T100 seems way grippier from the first touches. You can see and feel that T100 is geared towards spin, whereas T3 W81 is geared towards speed.

I'll be using these rubbers on two allwood blades, as means to transition to Euro tensor rubbers on the FH. The T100 will go on a Artte Italia DEF blade, whereas the T3 W81 will go a Sauer & Tröger Banana, both with thin sponge LP as BH.

Another session with the LAC on the Nittaku Acoustic, which was so so. On the forehand I struggle to find the right angle to not overshoot or clear the net. After 80% of my session I took out the W968 where I got the LAC on the forehand and gave it a few shots. I did expect to simply have the same issue, just with more balls going long/out, but it was actually not the case. Somehow all the doubts about the proper bat angle were gone and I could loop safely with good spin clearing the net easily and the ball going down the white line how you would want it.
It seems that it does instantly click with me on the w968 for whatever reason. Perhaps it's the weight of the blade or me being better used to the throw angle of the w968.

I got new loki rxton 3 pro(40 degree) and 5 pro (41 degree) in black color. Also I got new yinhe pro 01 blade.
I am used to commercial H3 neo on forehand.
Which rubber I should try first to have similar feel as H3 on forehand 3 or 5 pro??

On backhand I am used to big dipper (38 degree) which I have so no issue with that.

Currently I am using yinhe alc special blade(TB ALC clone) with 729 cross (44 degree) on both sides.

Thanks in advance.

today i noticed that my LAC did lose it's tack pretty much. It is still grippy, but the tackiness seems to be gone after about 8 hours i would assume. I use cleaner between matches and have a protector on the rubber when i dont play it.

I have ordered a few ESN spinsight balls and got the spinsight beta app on my android phone. i will check if i'll manage to compare the spin i generate with it compared to the Rakza Z, PK50 and Hurricane 8.

Cant relate.
I assume depending on the cleaner, that this is the issue.

I had two sheets. One at 60 hours still going strong and tacky. Second one died after about 50 hours due to sponge separation. I gave it a thin layer of booster halfway through its life because it had reverse curled when transferring to a blade. Upon time of death it was still tacky though.

I used distilled water or sweat to clean it only. Maybe ditch the cleaner because it's my experience that the tackiness should last until it dies.

Don't use cleaner, use water and no-sticky plastic sheet. The tackiness of mine is still there after 80 hours of intense play. I don't even dry my rubber completely when I put the protective sheet on it.

Anyone tried?

Does the normal LAC still have the bubbles/topsheet separation issue?

Bought 6 sheets last year, all with that issue and kinda gave up on it. Fantastic rubber though when its intact.
I have the pro version since September. I noticed no difference. The vendor on AliExpress told me there was no difference too. I have no issue with any LAC over 8 different sheets.
