Review of KTL (LKT) Pro XT

Just had to test this rubber. Ridicolus price (8$ at ttnpp.com). Didnt have much expectations on the rubber, but damn i was surprised the first time i used it. Straight ot of the package it was tacky, but after just an hour of play it was almost gone, wich i liked.

It behaves like a euro allround rubber prerfect for the player who doesnt play the fastest table tennis.

Serves: Due to soft sponge it is really spinny on serves eaven without tackiness. The topsheet feels grippy and not tacky. Good control on length.

Chops: Very good. Good control and a hard bite wich is hard to loop back

Loops: Spinny, however slow. Needs to be struck really hard or you are gonna get counterlooped. Good kick wich can trick some opponents.

Drives/smashes: Not the best. Lacks the speed.

Overall: Great allround rubber at a very good price. For the pure offensive player it is to slow, but for a player not wanting the highest speed, or for a player who is learning the offensive play this is a very good and cheap rubber!

Review of KTL (LKT) Pro XP

Behaves more or less like the pro XT, main difference is tackiness, XP is less tacky then XT. However the tackiness on the XT wears off very fast so they feel about the same.

Review of Stiga Boost TP

Very good forehand rubber. Speed is fantastic, spin is very good and the control is very good aswell. I have this rubber on both forehand and backhand, and i must say that i didnt like it as much on the backhand, mainly because of the speed and relativly low throw, wich means that you cant, (or maybe i cant) use it on opening loops with good success. However, this is all about technique i guess :). But as a forehand rubber for offensive play, it's really good!

Excellent BH rubber. Loops are spinny and very easy to do. Short game is also very easy because this rubber has so many gears. Cant find any problem with it yet :) Great sound as well.

Review of Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft

Awesome rubber for the loop oriented play. Spin is very high control is high aswell. For being a tensor it is a bit slow, but who cares? :) One of the best rubbers out there!
