Review of Loki RXTON 5I 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.
