Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

[longle]

maybe, just maybe, a fake LAC, which is even better quality than the real

 

[Caracas]

The label is different from all the LAC I ever had, normally there is the kind of sponge (Kunlun II), the hardness, etc...

It it's different than the Alibaba LAC?

All my LAC, from wherever they came, had the same label that was posted here a dozen times already : indicates hardness, sponge, color, thickness...

Any idea what the Rxton 1 Pro and Rxton 1 Special are?

How are they different from regular Rxton 1?

They've Sayed that's the same rubber with other packaging

Now we have to ask ourselves : If they have a great product that sells real well and lots of players like it, why would they want to change the packaging ???????

Because of the marketing AND the renovation from visual themes that are important to make the final sell

I think there are some minor differences as well, I'm just not sure what. Rxton 3 is different from R3 Pro.

I bought two black rxton 9 39 degree today, 18usd each. I wanted to test a real chinese rubber on my forehand, but the hurricane 3 os provincial are costing 33usd each. I decided to test the rxton 9, since they shouldn't be that different from the h3. When they arrive, I should apply one or two layers of booster?

Might as well do 2. But see how much the rubber itself curls. If the rubber curls between 60-90 degrees, that's enough.

I glued a sheet of LAC on my Fextra yesterday, and when I started cutting the rubber I was surprised by how "brittle" the sponge seems to be. It was crumbling a lot more into tiny bits when i cut it.
I've only used ESN rubbers up until this point, and they all seem to have thougher sponges.

Is this normal?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the topsheet felt no more tacky than my G-1. I thought it was supposed to be very tacky?

Is your packaging green or orange? The green one is not sticky

Orange!

 

[jk1980]

Do you have the mention of the sponge on the backhand of the packaging? Should read something like 'kunlun sponge' ?

 

[Larshos]

I have to check when I get back home but it was very clearly this packaging:

[jk1980]

we have seen two different orange packagings at least with most having the data about the hardness, sponge type and sponge and one that has this missing (which could indicate a fake). this data is on the back of the packaging, so its hard to check if yours is the suspect one
