It is good that Loki focuses on the rubbers. There are too many Chinese brands making Viscaria and 968 clones, whereas the sponge is really where I think Chinese brands are far behind ESN/Daikin rubbers.LAR has a more gripper topsheet than Jupiter 3
J3 Asia is hard, euro is soft, it is no where close to being a same rubber.
Asia was out first, euro is hard to get, so i'm assuming TB is using Asia.
Can't help it but just see incorrect information, so just want to speak out.
J3 isn't that great from my 15 years of playing Chinese tacky rubbers.
LAR is actually pretty decent, but I did tell Loki that price point doesn't justify where they are at the moment.
Loki isn't looking to be another Yinhe, but looking to be a top tier TT company with respectable price and product.
I did chat to them on a lot of confusion on naming and I do understanding how some of their "top tier" product is actually of good quality and fair price. But the brand value still needs to improve for the market to willing pay a premium for it.
If I didn't use H3, and I was given J3 or AR to choose, I would go with Loki AC. It is closer to the feel of my H3.
Blade wises, I actually prefer a lot of high end Yinhe blades over Loki blades. Yinhe does have a longer history of blade craftmanship. Loki I do feel, has caught up a lot on rubber production quality, however they still only make "Chinese" rubbers. Either way, its good for table tennis, with brands being aggressive and seek to fulfill gaps in the market.
