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

[mocker88]

i will test the special on korbel first, the V5 they send me tested a bit higher frequency than my 2 korbels at 1277hz, i think i can make a good balanced blade with the v5 and Rxton 1 & rxton 3 based on reviews, what do you think?

Yes that would surely be good

Unboosted, I think LAC is a much stronger pick than GTX for spin and control. For me, GTX is actually pretty fast and springy, GTX is more automatic in driving blocking and smashing, but it feels like it doesn't have the strong grab or pronounced arc flight that is characteristic of Chinese style sticky rubbers which made me overshoot a lot when trying to attack. GTX also feels softer and less stable, whereas LAC has a meatier and crisper impact feeling

Right, that's why I felt it was hard to control. But the layer of baby oil fixed that for me.

Here is my experiment:
2 LACs + Yinhe Pro 05
Both LACs with different packaging and different printing on the back.
Black: 71g uncut, H40 on the back and Package
Red: 69g uncut, no info
The Red one is completely flat while the black one is slightly domed inwards.
Pro 05: 90g

I will play with mentality of having 2x D09c on a blade that is between W968 and BTY innerforce alc with the good of both.

Wish me the best!

This looks like an awesome setup. But how do you know the Pro 05 is between W968 and Innerforce ALC?

LAC is now on sale. $19 plus additional $2 off, so this would be the cheapest I've seen on Aliexpress

Whenever something from AliExpress is on sale in one shop and not the rest, I'd be a lot more careful with buying it. Even stores with good reputation don't mind screwing a customer once in a while.

@longle whats wrong? You not intrigued in trying it again?
My recent sheets are fine again btw besides my edge hitting issues on which the lac topsheet loses its grip too and bubbles.

So i have to agree that the topsheet somewhat lacks some hold on the sponge.

Iam curious if they maybe fixed the issues in the newer versions of the rubber but i never got a green cover lac until now

This shop actually DID screw me. I bought a Yinhe blade that was bent and he told me I was not worth a high quality blade like this ............and now I am on his blacklist 😂

As for the LAC, yes it is a few bucks cheaper but is it even worth this much, considering one might end up with a rubber that bubbles up after a few hours play ??????????????????????

Mine is doing great after 7 weeks, with 60-70 hours of usage. Got mine from BEO.

So ????? The fact is that buying a LAC is a lottery or a box of chocolates, you never know if you are going to get a good one or a bubbler

This website is full of storys about almost every rubber brand that had some bad sheets out there.
The latest i followed was the weak durability of the vega series, which i never had an issue with in the past. A friend of mine uses his vega pro for at least half a year without any problems.
Therefore is every rubber a lottery for you?!

So as long as you dont have a decent study on every brand you shouldnt call it a lottery. While for a player i know who plays on high national level, this rubber is one of the best ones out there, but for longle it is a good rubber with a total crap bond.

So what i want to say is, that your comment and the stated "fact" have somewhat the same quality as the hold of the lac topsheet to its sponge.

i was about to comment the same thing, but you said it a lot better than i could. I seen quite a bit of H3N bubble but it still sells like crazy, mine seem to last ages. i also seen new tenergys edges chip and crumble easily and the topsheet wear really fast lol, i know its not the same quality control but its true you can hear complaints on almost every brand.

Well, first up I call it anything I want.

Exactly. I hope you see the contradiction here.

I never said i am rating opinions, especially not mine. I am reevaluating your statement as the thing you now did yourself - as an opinion, not a fact.

Well i tried.
So it is a fact now that we buy rubbers and it is a lottery if we get a decent sheet. 🤦‍♂️
