Loki RXTON 5

Similar to H3, but with slightly faster/lively sponge. But slower than B2 and Bloom Power and Big Dipper in my opinion. It has tacky topsheet and dense sponge. It boosts pretty well, and all around is a very reliable hard-tacky forehand rubber. Good for powerful loops and counterloops. Really not much to complain about and it gets the job done just fine.

I played forehand, but it didn't work out for me, so I switched to Jupiter 3 Asia

good BH rubber, good spin,good control, not that fast so suitable for beginners but because it has good gears if you can engage the sponge with the right angle and right technique you can produce very fast shots, pushing is a delight with this rubber but if you want a fast aggressive rubber for this price i would go get double fish volant 1, a combination of rxton 5 BH and volant 1 Fh is probably really good cheap setup that can you far if you have good technique and young

I bought Rxton5 with purple topsheet and black sponge from AliExpress, so not sure if its genuine. Either way it is prob the best forehand rubber for a beginner to intermediate player. Pros : Its remarkably consistent and the tack seems to last forever. I've played 2-3 hours every single day for 4 months and its got the same tackiness. The control is very good, he ball stays on the racquet for a bit and you can adjust shots on the fly. Short game is brilliant, it responds to the power you put in, its very linear. Very good for blocking smashes as well. Spin is surprisingly high, but I noticed its only on serves, not on chopblocks or anything else during a rally. its better than the Mercury II that I used before. Don't know about the revs, but my serves were bouncing off my teammates rackets a lot more. Cons : Throw angle is pretty meh, it feels like I gotta almost slap the ball during high speed rallies, just cannot loop it at those speeds, its hits the net. It also tends to arc a bit lower and flatter. It picks up the opponent's spin a lot, can be a bit jarring in the beginning. It lacks some punch compared to euro rubbers. You get what you put into it though The sponge is really hard, and it needs a bit of break-in so to speak. Sponge got livelier after a few hours of training. Keep in mind it wont feel very responsive right at the start, but it gets wayyy better after a day or two. All that said, for $2 this is the greatest rubber in the world.

I bought a Loki 9 Star blade with RXTON 5's from AliExpress so I can't guarantee my rubbers were genuine. Anyway if someone is thinking about buying the same rtg from Ali don't waste your money. Those rubbers were completely dead and didn't get any better. They were fast but there was no real spin. The only positive thing was practising BH top spin. The ball never went over the table since the throw angle was so low.
