Loki Arthur comparison

[job59]

I need a comparison between Loki Arthur Asia and Europe? I know LAE is softer. But does it feel the same in general, just softer? My last BH rubber was Hybrid MK, but at times I'm missing the tacky surface I had with the H3/37. And the MK is not lasting very long. The LAA (boosted) for me is a FH rubber. On BH, it forces me to use more power, more than I should.

TIA

I think it feels slightly different, more closer to euro rubber. Rakza z or hybrid mk are reasonable comparison

Asia is comparable to H3
China is comparable to Bluegrip C2
Europe is comparable to Rakza Z
Euro Diamond is comparable to Vega

I think the LA China is tackier than C2

yes it is. I'm just giving a basic framework for what is a reasonable comparison. LA China is faster than Asia, and tackier than C2. So it's actually in the middle.

Ok. So something like the MK I'm using with a more tacky top sheet? Sounds good.

Yes, agree. My feeling is, that Asia is stronger with flat shots. Maybe the gradual softer sponge gives this advantage (and lets the balsa core of my blade get in)

I would still recommend boosting the Europe. The catapult rebound is not high.
