Loki RXTON 9 new sponge.

[Archosaurus]

The arc and second bounce are lethal, but speed is average. Even on full swing counters to open-ups it lacks tempo.

That was my experience with a lot of "H3 replacement" rubbers. Dianchi D to now is the closest, but it's visibly less elastic at high swing speed especially in counters against topspin. Shame if Rxton 9 is the same.

I wonder why? Softer sponge that's more forgiving at medium speed at the expense of being less stiff at high speed?

I think just Kailin does not have as high "efficiency" as national oils. I wonder how much Seamoon it would take...

To be fair, a non boosted H3neo behaves exactly the same. Rather the R9 feels like a high quality version of the h3. I will report back how it plays boosted tho tonight.

The 37.5 was easy to curl. I actually used two layers of Falco Tempo Long. Hope it will last longer.

I boosted the R9 39 with unholy amount of booster, and now it seems to be way more alive.
