Comparison between Loki ADC Special and DHS W968: Let's Discuss!

Hello Table Tennis Community,

I wanted to initiate a discussion on two exciting table tennis blades: the Loki ADC Special and the DHS W968. Both blades have their unique characteristics, which can significantly impact play style and performance.

HI,
I've been playing with the LJK special adc for 5 months now. In my experience it is drier than the w968, which has a more pronounced spring effect. The frame has a lot of control, fantastic in the lockout, but when you activate the carbon hard it feels really powerful

What is spring effect ? On a rubber it makes sense, but on a blade, I am curious. Also, drier ? What do you mean ? I am not familiar with those terms for blades.
I think they should have pretty similar composition, as LJK played 968 before LOKI partnership. Also, there is a tons of LJK ADC special, so depends on which one you got, the feeling can change a lot I guess.

The spring effect refers to the sensation of the ball remaining on the frame and the consequent thrust. I have a LJK ADC Special R Version. It is certainly stiffer than at least the Q968 (WCQ). I think Liang played with W968 when he used DHS. For my style of play, the LJK is ideal: quite easy control on the backhand, I play with Rozena max on the forehand and 1.7 on the backhand

My Loki ADC feels hard as a rock. The arc it produces is much lower than the DHS W968, and it has almost no feeling at all. I threw it back into the box after just a few test sessions.

You have a special version, R Code, or market versione?
