Loki Arthur - C(hina) Purplegreen (... THOR)

( Updated the review at the end because I’ve discovered boosting! ;-P ) It's a mystery to me how the product name (in the form above) came about!!! The rubber is called: Loki Arthur - C !!! - where does "THOR" come from??? ... and purplegreen, because it's available in purple and green. (...but now also in blue and pink!) In any case, this minimally sticky rubber with a white 2.1 mm sponge, which is officially supposed to have 40 degrees (but feels considerably softer! ... maybe 36°), is extremely light. My purple rubber weighed 85 grams in its original packaging and 61.6 grams uncut (including protective film / - 1,5 g). Cut to 157x150 mm, it ultimately weighed 43 grams. For the first test, I glued it to my XVT ZL Koto with solvent-based glue. (- very fast outer blade!) The rubber generates high control, a decent speed and rotation just above average during a medium-high flight curve ! Addendum: Unfortunately, the rubber shrank to 152 x 149 mm after being glued with solvent-based adhesive. ... and YES, it has catapult! ;-) NEW addendum (boosting!): After reading more and more about "rubber boosting" since the beginning of the year, I got myself the "HAIFU Seamon Booster Yellow" (from AliExpress)—and since the AU Golden (blue) was just missing a little extra spin, I simply had to try out what the result of boosting would be!!! So, I first applied just one layer, let it air-dry for 24 hours, and then applied a second layer. After another 24 hours, it was ready to be glued on. CONCLUSION: and it was absolutely worth it!!! Its spin characteristics have improved enormously, and I now view it as a serious backhand rubber (even for advanced players!). Wow!!! :-D - - my ratings in the table refer to an unboosted LOKI Arthur C !
