Loki Arthur Europe table tennis rubber offers a balance of speed, spin, and control for players looking for an all-around game. Manufactured by Loki, this rubber features a medium-hard sponge with a tacky top sheet that provides excellent grip and control over the ball. It generates powerful spin with aggressive strokes while maintaining exceptional consistency. Players can expect high levels of precision and accuracy in their shots, making it ideal for both offensive and defensive playstyles. The Loki Arthur Europe rubber is suitable for players of all skill levels, allowing them to execute a variety of shots with ease. Its durability ensures longevity, providing value for money over time. With its well-rounded performance, this rubber is a top choice for those seeking a versatile and reliable playing experience.
I tried this rubber as a backhand option, but it somewhat lacks the rebound required for a good backhand rubber. While it isn’t slow—it’s medium-fast—it still doesn’t provide the bounciness I look for in a quality backhand rubber. In comparison, the AK47 and even Loki’s own T3 feel better to me.
The rubber has a slightly tacky surface, but this tackiness wears off completely after a while. Additionally, it is quite heavy, although it is lighter than the Arthur Asia.
This medium rubber performs exceptionally well. The sponge is medium hard, while the topsheet is medium, which allows the inverted pimples to break easily, resulting in a nice grip on the ball.
I highly recommend it for backhand play; it excels at easy flips, and both active and passive blocks work like a charm. While it is not as springy as the Diamond version, you don’t need to engage the sponge as much to achieve spin, thanks to the rubber’s superior grip.
However, due to the medium soft topsheet, there isn’t much spin sensitivity. I would not recommend it for forehand strokes if you enjoy driving from mid to far distances, as it lacks the grip for those hard drives. In my experience, the RXTON 5 performs significantly better in that regard.
I just got this rubber to try out as I was looking for an inexpensive Tenson option. Overall, this rubber performed well. I was happy with the feel and touch it provided.
I was pleased with how it pushes, blocks, counters, and hits. However, I found that while looping, I could generate great spin and control, I did not get as much pop or speed on my loops as I had hoped.
Despite this, I played well with it and have no real complaints. I would recommend this rubber if you are looking for something that offers good spin and control.
I should mention that I have not played much in the last few years, so my looping technique could have been off. Additionally, I am using an old all-around blade, which worked well before the ball changes. I believe that if I were using a faster or more advanced blade, I would have found more pop in my loops.
