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

Moon 12 to me is a bit more bouncy and the sponge has a more airy feeling. The Rxton 3 Blue has a harder sponge, feels more dense, and is slightly tacky. For how I play the Rxton is more comfortable to play with while having much better top end speed and flat hitting.

The 2 Rxton Pink I have are exceedingly hard, like 57d. So I always felt they were better suited for FH. But maybe my batch was just extra hard, because they are labeled H39 but feel nothing like that.

Thanks! Interesting, I was under the impression that non-tacky topsheets were better for flat hits 🧐

They generally are but theres something unique about the Rxton 3 Blue sponge that instantly releases energy like a steel trap. I haven't encountered anything like it. Whatever it is, the effect is much stronger than the holding force of the slight amount of tack. Low and medium power shots are still controlled. It's when you add a bit more snap then the effect kicks in.

It's the "Vtec just kicked in yo" for rubbers

Telson 475 in hand after you Open the package looks more like Dignics and Tenergy brother from another mother. Sponge quality is very good. I will not use rn because I have new rubbers on my blade but it is really great looking rubber.

Agreed.

For me it's the same situation.

Rubber looks like it's really high quality.
Also, it didn't curl or smell at all.

Once the glue I ordered arrives, I'll be able to test it out.


Can anyone compare it to other rubbers of that category?

We are still talking about Rxton 3 Pro here, right ?????
I just want to make sure Loki has not done another dirty on me and has made another blue sponged R3 behind my back without telling me 😁

Looking forward for the review of your Telson 475.

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

I think He is talking about the sponge on the Rxton 3 blue 🔵 not the rxton 3 pro

Lol I just meant Loki Rxton 3 Blue (topsheet). Loki is already confusing enough I don't want to add more confusion on my own!

that is why i wanted it clarified .
Like many of the other Loki miracles, both blue and pink were not the ultimate success, which is why they are probably selling them for about US$ 8 at aliexpress, postage included 😁

How is the weight of rxton 3 blue/ pink compared to moon 12 blue?

Moon 12 Blue cut to my blade was 44g for M-, 45g for M+. Rxton 3 Blue/Pink from 2024 was around 47g.

I had the same experience with my personal R3 pink. After boosting it worked great for a about a month or two, then started peeling from the edge & some bubble formed.
I glued & pressed the edges but it kept separating so i decided to reglue with contact cement. The topsheet separated easily without broken pips, stronger glue seems to do the job and its still playing fine for the last few weeks.
I tested cuts from 3 different R3 pink and 3 Blue from different batches. 2 of the R3 pink separated easily. The newer one didn't, so glue seems stronger on the last batch. The blue ones didn't have the same problem.

There was a batch of R3 Blue and Pink that had a weak bond of glue, I had around 40-50 rubbers replaced I can't remember exactly how many anymore.

Look out for the ""CHOICE"" specials and when you buy NZ$16 or more the postage is free.
