Hi!

I know the tread is getting old. I just want to mention that last month I saw red versions of different hardnesses that looked legit at BEO store/Aliexpress. Plays like my black ones, so I guess it’s the real deal.

Stay loose!
Hi, Looose here, whole series of numbers of the pro version from 37 to 41 in both colors. Wonder if this could become my new BH rubber. Anybody with experience of this pro rubber ?

I ordered a 38. Blue Loxa III sponge. 2,1 mm with seemingly the same pre glue layer as the black national. 67,1 g with the glue layer and foil. 61,5 without. 45 g cut. The black 40,5 was 50 g cut. Hardness: about 1 euro degree softer than the 40,5. So definetly harder than 38. Finger press test and durometer used. When playing, the difference is insignificant. The red might have slightly more bounce at low impact.

Thank you for the info.
So if i order the red 40 or even the 40.5 i am likely to get about 39 hardness ?.

Would somebody be able here to compare it with an unboosted commercial H3 / 39 which happens to be my "standard " BH rubber?

Hi!

I just received a red prov 37, but man…still just 1 euro degree below my black 40,5 and plays like it, too. Could it be they only have two sponges?

Have played 6 months with H3N 39 commercial on FH. For me, Rxton9 39 is close to H3N and TG2N in spin, slightly bouncier and faster in low gears. High gears about the same. Closer to B2 bs prov overall. The 40,5 sponge reminds me more of H3N but with lower throw. Still good arc.

Stay loose!

today was the last club night of 2025 and even though i did not feel all that well i decided i want to go and have a try with the R9 provincial special blah blah. I got the red H41 because i wanted to find a replacement rubber for my H3. Just had a few warm up hits with a mate and the rubber feels good and quite fast without having a tensor trampoline effect to it. I had it quickly glued on a Sanwei T5000 but will now take it off and glue it on my proper blade. The rubber is quite sticky and i can very easily do BH flips of incoming backspin balls. It definitely got potential.

Razka z works well on forehand on hard and fast carbon blades like timoboll alc and yinhe pro 1.
