Loki RXTON 9

I've used it in a Loki kirin k11 for like 7 or 8 months, it's very very tacky , good power and control and works even better when boosted, the only downside it's that when the ambient is humid the rubber just stops being spinny

I got 39 deg, black (red is not available at this time). I come from hard/Chinese rubber on FH and bouncier/euro rubber on BH. It's faster than TG2 in all gears, especially after a couple of practice sessions. Sponge is undisputably hard. Still I get a soft/elastic feeling in close game without too much catapult. It aught to come from the rubber composition or pimple structure, but I really can't tell. That makes slow spinny loops a lot easier to perform than with for example Battle 2 gold and T05 hard. Short serves are also easier to achieve. Spin wise, they are all up to the task, though. They become more similar in loop rallies a step or two back from the table. Good arc, which helps me keeping the ball on the table. I could imagine a 38 deg or boosted version on BH. Cut weight 48g. Glue (and maybe booster) is factory applied. Glue came off fairly easy when i switched blade, and weight came down to 46 g. The Rxton 9 on FH fits my game beautifully! Hope it stays in the market for a while. Update for 40,5 deg: 51 g cut. With the additional hardness I get less control of slow loops and open ups. Still pretty good and somewhat lively (I’m guessing thanks to the topsheet). Serves are still very controllable. For blocks and attacking drive and loop this is faster. For my game, I’d say I get slightly more gears. I’ve played about 8 hours. If it softens up just a little bit, it stays on my FH. Otherwise I’ll use the 39 version as it’s a little more forgiving on low impact shots.

I bought Rxton 9 in the AliExpress promotion for $14.8. Excellent training rubber with good ball control. The downside of Rxton 9 is that it does not have a lot of spin when hitting the ball and very weak and slow speed when hitting the ball even on a Viscaria base. For training and table tennis fans, this rubber can be safely bought for such a low price, because it helps to correct mistakes when hitting the ball.

This rubber is very comparable to Hurricane 3 Provincial Blue sponge and Friendship Battle 2 Provincial Blue sponge. It plays a bit dull when it is fresh off the package. After I have put 1 layer of Haifu SeaMoon booster, it comes alive. I have been testing this for two weeks on a BTY Viscaria blade. On serves, this rubber creates the same amount of spins as H3 and better spin than B2. Like any Chinese rubber, the dullness of hard sponge makes serve easier because you can cut the ball more aggressively. This is the same for no spin serve as well. The most surprising aspect of this rubber to me is its speed. It is much faster than H3 and about the same as B2. Looping with this rubber is quite easy with proper technique. I can feel that it grabs the ball and then kick it out. But you do need to swing your arm a bit forward to get better speed. So if you play Chinese style FH, this rubber will be perfect for you. On smashing, like any Chinese rubbers, this is not the strongest area. But it is easier than H3 and about the same as B2. But if you are out of position, you can definitely swat the ball back with some safety to the shot like hard rubber offers. Looping backspin is also quite easy if you have the proper angle. The tacky surface will pick up the ball. However, the racket angle is important because it is not forgiving like any Chinese rubber. Overall, after slightly boosting, this rubber plays like a boosted H3 with better spin and same spin. I like it so much that I ordered two more sheets from AliExpress and may stick with it as my FH rubber for next year 2025 season. 2/23/25 - Update, after four months, the tackiness still exists and it can still grab the ball well. So it is quite durable. I only boosted it once and I haven't boosted it at all the past four months and it plays well. It is slightly slower than B2 in a true blade testing. But the difference is not that much.

This rubber is faster than Hurricane 3, has great spin and control, I really like this rubber for forehand. -Pros: Easy to use compared to Hurricane 3, is faster but not as fast as Tenergy 05 in slow strokes. Short game is really good and serve is probably the same as Hurricane 3. Adding booster to this rubber only makes it faster. -Cons: has the same problem as many of the chinese rubbers, it requieres high effort and good technique if you want the ball to go fast. My rubber is 40.5° hardness and weight about 50g~ cutted.
