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...

Two layers haifu black to be exact

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.

I played today first time. Support is gone, power is stupid, spin is stupid++. Blade is singing. I hope it is going to go down, now this is too fast for me. The grip is too high, the balls are toxic. The rubber become bouncy when I first glued it. Unfortunately I am a bloody idiot and apart from reboosting it, I also added more glue. The curl was so high I was not sure if its going to stick I added additional layer. I think it might have contributed to the excellent feeling.

This feels amazing not going to lie. I need go go multi ball to try and practice more predictibly.

I need to weigh the booster next time, layers are bad quantifier.

Please take this comment with a grain of salt. Its first training honeymoon. I can no longer push, the rubber is too grippy. I need to go and practice on thursday with the robot to re-adjust basic.

How many layer you put overall ?? 2 before first gluing then 1 after ? Black oil ?

2 layers initially, and it was not very fast. 6 thin layers Kailin. I do the thing where i touch the brush to the edge of the container so it is thin layer. I need to weigh the rubber.

Boosted Dianchi D (with the factory booster still fresh) is still noticeably worse than boosted H3 although it's not as drastic.

Ok, match play showed, that it is almost identical to h3. I will test again tmrw on my trusted Harimoto Super Alc and have a final verdict.
