Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

[Emin]

I think its Just new packaging, Orange sponge Rxton 3 Also uses the new design from R3 pro, R5pro & R9. I asked about purple packaging R1 & they Said its only marketing for china, same rubber🤷😅

But what about R1 Pro? It should be different right?

I dont think so, i could ask to confirm. I just think they Made packaging for china & we can see them from Vendors on AliExpress or similar.

For example this purple Rxton1 was china only in theory, my agent confirmed its the same rubber just another packaging color.
Looking at pictures & caracteristics of Rxton 1 "pro" it seems like the same rubber, the price looks the same also, it isnt blue sponge like other "pro" Versions. But i Will ask anyway.

I like that Loki makes it easy to understand.

China - Long 5
Speed - Viscaria
Power - 301
CNF - Revoldia

Definitely the China is the one that catches my eye. The Power is pretty cool too...but I already have the Sanwei 75 inner

You could try Loki V7-RS for a much cheaper price. Similar construction as W968 and pristine craftsmanship.

Loki V7-rs Is indeed a great blade for the price, since my first test im using it as my main blade! You can find it for a great price but its an old model no longer fabricated. It has limba top, ayous core, but inner carbon isnt Alc fibber or similar, its kind like "soft carbon"

or get yourself a

Sanwei T5000 Table Tennis Blade 5 Wood 2 Carbon .​

Sometimes I just can not believe what can be picked up for
really no money at all. It is my favorite blade in the moment, used with R3 pro on FH and H3 on the back

We can always trick our mind by believing it plays like w968 coz it's the same construction. Well, maybe the lite version. 😂 It's all in the head.

Personally, ever since the good experience I have had with Loki V5, my current blade, Imyrather curious whether there's another blade with the same ayous top ply construction. I have tried Paramid before and it wasn't a good experience. Maybe a different blade from gentlemen master of ej?

Maybe try Loki Kirin K3, has ayous top with inner soft carbon, its really cheap with great Performance & looks! Kirin K2 Also has ayous top, its light and pretty good all+. Kirin K1 its the cheapest AND also has ayous with inner soft carbon (second layer poplar) finish & materials felt a Tiny bit cheaper but the 2 i tested performed really good, even More so for the price!

Let's say Loki or any other bargain brand has the exact specs as the W968 and uses the same woods, same ALC, and in the same thicknesses to create a clone. What would make you think that it wouldn't perform the same as a W968?

For sure Loki has premium models with selected woods & imported or premium fibers..if Someone buys the new w81 Inner it would be a better comparison with HL5 or W968, maybe when they release the more premium Arthur King Throne. Obviously prive/performance ratio decreases after certain point

What is difference between w81 and Telson China?

What is difference between w81 and Telson China?

Or the Wang Hao Honor?

What is difference between w81 and Telson China?

Basic Composition its the same, in theory the fiber differs (better on the w81) thickness & weight maybe varies too. I assume material selection & finish its better on the w81 since its pricier but i cant say.

In my experience, "material selection" and "premium" blade is very hit or miss. For example, maybe they are more selective to get a softer or harder wood even though they are both Limba. This may fit you better, or it may be worse for you.

So what's the difference in the fibre of w81 and Telson China?

Cant tell, telson china says "telson fiber" w81 aramid fiber

I think it says "telson alc", so I assume it is also some kind of aramid fiber.

The description also says it use "aromatic carbon". A lot of the Stuor blades also use the term "aromatic carbon", but i have no idea what that means

It has a nice smell.
