I'm not up at your level and just change rubbers at about 6 months but interested so checked it out. No legit Rxton 9s under 35$ US here. provincial is about 25, neo about 40 and pro about 60. what they call the 'market version' is about 20.
I am not a very good player, I am just playing a lot. The new hybrids are so bad even an amateur like me can wear them out.

yeah, I got rubbers February, but my R9 just does not want to die. I will keep sending updates. I will see how it goes. I purchased spares, taking into account C53 life, i think it might be longer though.
Can you elaborate on the 37.5° version. Did you boost it ? The loki W81, is an inner carbon or outer carbon blade ? To know if it as 968 like or Viscaria like

W81 ADC, inner. 37.5 is my favourite BH rubber so far. A lot of grip, stupid amount of power. I played with 2 layers of Falco. It is fairly quick. You can do some very spiny shots with it. Serves are also easy to generate spin. I will write up after 100 hours. So next month.

Caution though, it does not have any "low effort speed". It is kind of a deal, MX-P will give you more spin and speed with low effort, but I think I can get more speed and spin with R9 37.5 with more control on average.

MXP is too quick and not spinny for me. I like tacky rubber, and H8-80 is far slower on low effort. Which I like, because it adds tons of control.

I might give it a try then. I am more looking to try the Blue sponge on the FH. I am struggling to find the new 2026 version of the R9 on Ali, same for the NEO. Feels like R9 or R9 pro, LJK. Do you have link ? Otherwise I will order on Alibaba, it is clearer and low price, but I never ordered on it yet.

Buy directly through alibaba from Loki.


This is the link I purchased from. You can ask any questions to Yummy, she was super nice and helpful to me and answered all my stupid questions.

Rxton 7 is definitely interesting, it's easier to use than the Rxton 9, has a more ESN feel but is still a very tacky rubber that's pretty linear. I think if you find the R9 or H3 too Chinese, the R7 might be a good choice for something more familiar.

So I glued the R9 back on my primary blade, and it feels great. Basically an easier to use H3 38 OS, and I'm very satisfied with it. By regluing it I found another similarity between it and H3 OS. It forms a reverse dome very, very rapidly. It's only been a week since I boosted it, but after taking it off it's already heavily reverse domed. The playing quality didn't change, but thought that was interesting. H3 OS does that as well, it really reverse domes when you take it off the blade. H3 BS doesn't though, it only forms a minor reverse dome. Of note, Rxton 9 BS doesn't reverse dome much either.

So now that I'm settled on the Rxton 9, I think I'll order a few more sheets. I'll probably order a black OS and a black BS (Neo) 40.5 as well just to play around with. It's hard to see myself going away from the H3 considering I've been using it for 2+ years now, but DHS's poor QC is really annoying the crap out of me so it's at least making me look.
Your comment interest me. I got interested into R9 37.5, but I play H8-80 which is more European like than H3 37. Have you tried the H8-80 (37 if possible) and are you able to compare it to R7 37°. Is there multiple R7 like multiple R9 ??. I really love my H8-80, but if I can get an equivalent for half the price, why would I keep the more expensive one.

I found the NEO, thanks a lot. Would be sad If I bought the regular BS Rxton9 for it to be discontinued. But Damn, 14$ is cheap. Has anyone tried the Rxton 9 OS 37° and the H8-80 37°. I play H8-80 37° on the BH, but if the Rxton 9 new sponge can suits my BH, it means 30$ for both sheets. Instead of 30€ one sheets. That makes it easier to change every 2 months when the booster dies lol. (I don't do that, but if the rubber is that cheap, I might)

I think the Rxton 7 37 is more of a direct analogue to H8-80 37. Rxton 9 37.5 has more of a H3 OS feel, except a bit easier to use.

What do you mean ? Arc, speed, spin, feeling? All the same ?

I am interested to use the Loki Rxton 9 BS neo. I play Quan Shi Bao, I sold the final sheets. I won't order them again, too complicated to order, and I imagine a Loki rxton 9 can be very similar. If it is easier to play than h3 on long run after the 2 weeks of boost honeymoon, for a cheaper price and better QC.
Yup, feels the same. I played it now boosted on my Harimoto and now there is power, spin and control. But one thing is a little different. I found that on pushes/recieves it creates a little less spin or rather the threshhold for spin creation is higher. This could be due to a slightly harder topsheet. Feels a little like skyline 2 here

Please read my review, I literally tested both at the same time.
