KTL (LKT) Rapid Sound

Medium hardness, medium speed with few gears. Almost nontacky, medium low throw, low arc.

It does not produce sound like tensor rubbers :) But it is nice spiny and controllable.

I've recently been experimenting with soft tacky Chinese rubbers. I feel this rubber is very similar to Hurricane 3-50. Both speed and spin are slightly less than H3-50, but control is better. But this rubber is like half the price of H3-50, so I'd say this rubber is definitely better value. I feel the topsheet of rapid sound is slightly thicker than H3-50 and less tacky, so it's less responsive, which is not necessarily a bad thing. This depends on your personal preference. Overall a great rubber at low price. If you like tacky Chinese rubbers, but feel like they are too hard for carbon blades, I suggest you try this one. There is more than enough speed and control to win points, and the spin is crazy like all tacky Chinese rubbers.

First of all, really good build quality for this rubber, especially considering its price. I've used it on different blades (mainly OFF-), in 2.2mm then in 2.0mm. This rubber is slightly tacky, and allows to generate a good amount of spin for me, be that in game or for serving. It is quite dynamic for a Chinese rubber, not too hard to adjust even if you're used to European rubbers as I was. The hardness feels medium, I'd say around 37-38° (it seems to depend a lot on the blade you glue it onto : felt really hard on my Stiga OC, but it's alright on my Waldner Senso and Diablo senso blades that are softer). I like it a lot as it's really versatile, pretty good for controled offensive play : it's not that fast but offers a really good control and allows to generate an interesting amount of spin. As someone already said, it might not be a "killer-rubber", but really does everything well. To sum things up, it's a good, versatile and not too expensive off- rubber, I think it's really interesting for young and off-/all+ players who like to develop a versatile offensive play (but leaning toward controlled topspin play). If your play is more blocking, flat-hitting and choping, then you might be interested in testing the LKT Rapid Speed.

If you want to play block, chop and hitting, try LKT Sound on a hard blade with a carbon, such as GALAXY T11+. I tried a SOFT SOUND and SPEED on this blade. The best unit and the control LKT Sound.
