GAN reviews Rxton 9

[TensorBackhand]

I've already tested ak47 red and for me its too fast and the throw angle is just to low, most of my shots were not passing the net, never heard about the Moon 12 and Telson could you compare them with H3 neo and big dipper ? ( on chinese rubbers I've played sorry )

Moon 12 is similar to Big Dipper, except with a grippy topsheet. Totally non-tacky. It has good speed, and a pretty stable feeling.

Telson is similar to AK47 red.

If you want a slower rubber, you might try Moon Speed

Oh moon 12 might be a good one, last question I promise, at the same price point it's available the GD5, GD9, Hurricane 9 and Hurricane 8 any of this would be better than the moon 12 or should I just buy the moon 12 ? (also for me just not disturbing you again, could you recomend a budget blade ? around 10-15 )

For Blade, I recommend Sanwei CC.

GD5 is softer and easier to activate than Moon 12. For lower level players, it is a good choice. Moon 12 is harder and denser, and has more gears if you are hitting hard.

GD9 I have never tried...but it doesn't seem that good to me.

Hurricane8 and 9 are good, but much harder and slower than Moon 12. They are more oriented as forehand rubber, and would really invite the use of booster.

Man thanks so much for all your help. I'm going with LAC and moon 12, again tks so much for your time and knowledge.

Actually, scratch the Sanwei CC.

This is the new blade from Sanwei. I think it's meant to be an upgrade to the Sanwei CC. It looks better and is under $15

some posts in here seem to indicate that the topend speed of Rxton 9 is lower than Loki Arthur China.
Is that common consensus here ?

I think topend power of Rxton 9 is higher than LAC.

LAC has more rebound and easier access to speed.

The general consensus here is very limited, oversimplified and in my opinion, at least partially wrong.

I never tried Rxton 7 so ill refrain from giving any information about that rubber.

LAC is more bouncy and "faster" with less impact.
Especially boosted R9 becomes the faster and "better" rubber for FH imo. It is faster with stronger, more powerfull strokes and even more spinny (boosted). Unboosted it is harder to activate as per usual and doesnt bring out the same spin.
It is more durable than LAC as well.

For bh on the other hand LAC is for the mentioned reasons the way better rubber.
I could literally do everything with it on a pretty high level. Flips, loops, countertopspins, blocks and even chops (especially in that aspect it is even better than H3 37).
If it would be more durable (bonding between rubber and sponge) it would still be my go to rubber for bh.

What about loki arthur china, I see many people saying its good and better than rxton 9 and 7, and its one of your rubbers so could you give me your opinion ?

Arthur China is harder and might be too hard for beginners. For people that are in the top 25% of their country, it would be a perfect rubber, supposing you like the chinese style.

LAC is already pretty durable. 100h + and it's still very sticky.

For BH purpose, it depends on the level and technique. I prefer Rxton VII and Telson 100 for example. And tensor are even better for me because they perfectly suit my technique.

My boosted Rxton 9 is fast, very low throw and unforgiving on the forehand. Surprisingly it works on the backhand with some interesting characteristics in being able to attack underspin long pushes with a low trajectory. I might keep trying it for the backhand but it's probably too unforgiving for my forehand as it requires a lot more attention/adjustment.

I've heard many reviews saying that is fairly more easy to activate the sponge with that LAC in comparation with the Rxton 9, you tested both so could you give me your opinion ?

LAC is very easy to play, probably the easiest "hard" chinese rubber.

Nobody questions the durability of the topsheet itself.
Many players on this website with a decent fh got the result of a topsheet that lost its bond with the sponge within a month. I hope we can agree upon the fact that this is not the definition of durable.

Rxton 9 is indeed way harder to activate and it reminds me of my experience with the Nittaku Hurricane 3 Turbo Blue, just with a less sticky topsheet.

Why get Moon 12? I have tried the rubber, and it is trash. You are actually better off getting Volant Phoenix 1 or 2 than getting any Yinhe rubbers. When it comes to China made rubber, Double Fish, imho, is second only to H3 and Volant Phoenix has the best performance to price ratio.

I think the bubbles are due to low build quality or weak glue bond. The tackiness does last a long time but I didn't get a chance to use it very long because my bubble kept growing.

You should boost less.

 

[Attitude]

You should boost less.

This has nothing to do with boosting. Neither longle, another friend of mine, several others on this forum or me boosted that rubber and it still bubbled. If i remember correctly, longle destroyed his within a week?! Mine lasted for around 2 weeks on fh until it bubbled.

 

[Gtsnake]

It's a really cheap rubber so they probably use a very cheap glue. So if you're a higher level player your going to stress that top sheet much more and the glue just can't hold it together.
