KTL (LKT) Golden Star Loop

It is not the TOP of rubbers, but it is a better rubber for me like the ESN with catapult. I can use off blade (LKT 168) instead some all blade and I have still a good control for my an attack style game. I changed a blade. Now I use Extra 3D from YASAKA and it is very good. Very good spin, control. No so much bouncy, but enough for looping. 2 weeks later: I try this rubber on the LKT 168 (Arylate carbon) blade, but it is too hard for me. I have this rubber on the Katana 5P (Giant Dragon) blade. I am using it 5 month and the rubber is still in the very good condition. I wrote, on the arylate-carbon is very hard for me, but on the Katana 5P (limba surface) it doing medium high angle. This rubber is better for me like Rakza7. I played 3 years with Rakza7. With Katana 5P is as good combo for looping close to table as 2-3m from the table.

Feels a bit sluggish at first, so I would advise installing it on a somewhat faster blade; perhaps harder carbon would be a good fit. Doesn't do anything at an elite level but it is a decent and reliable rubber. Some sticky-ball effect is present, similar to old style tacky Chinese rubbers (but weaker, of course). No catapult, but good ball grab.

I've tried this rubber on yinhe V-14, andro super core cell All+, yinhe W6, and yinhe Qiu Yike Rosewood. From my experience, I can conclude that this rubber shine on medium/stiff blade rather than on a flex blade. On stiff blade, the speed almost like a tensor rubber, in my case Xiom Vega pro & euro. Good for looping but not same level with Vega Pro. If you want to change your traditional rubber like Mark V or Sriver and still learn to use tensor, this one is very recommended.

This rubber seems to play best out of the new Golden Star rubbers that currently sell for $22. It's a little faster than the other Golden Star rubbers and has a higher throw and more spin.
