Loki N80

Yinhe 970XX

When playing on the Yinhe 970XX blade, this rubber performs exceptionally well. The initial topspin move at the table is both consistent and aggressive. The thickness of the rubber ensures optimal performance on a stiff blade with a certain degree of flexibility.

The review is disappointing, as the ratings for spin and tackiness are much too high. Battle II and Bloom Power are much better options for these qualities.

I tried this in Red, Max sponge on a Yinhe V-14 Pro blade (FH). Weight: 70g uncut and 50g cut. Comparing to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo, 2.15mm, 41 deg. The initial feeling is the same when looping.

The main differences are: The throw is a bit lower, it’s harder (a bit dead), and it feels a bit heavy. Now I have only used this for a robot session, looping forehand, so hopefully I’ll be back with more information…

Update

Now I played a short session. I’m starting to like this one more. I stood and blocked in a drill. There is a soft feeling when blocking. Not so springy as H3N, just a softer feel that gives much more control when blocking. Looping still has that lowish throw. One thing I noticed is that it’s much harder to turn backspin balls than with H3N. Perhaps I have to adjust my strokes a bit…

Update

I turned. Now using this one on backhand, instead of my Andro Hexer Grip SFX/Rasanter R37. It gives me a good feeling, and it’s not too springy. Really good for backhand blocking topspins, etc. Good feeling overall. The grip makes it more dependable for me on my backhand.

Loki Sport Nano 80

The Loki Sport Nano 80 is a high-end backside rubber designed for modern table tennis. It is Wang Hao’s preferred choice. Featuring an orange sponge with high density, the Nano 80 compares favorably to high-quality Chinese rubber like Hurricane Neo 3.

Performance Characteristics:

Suitability:

Quality and Value:

The sponge on the Nano 80 is exceptional. The rubber offers high performance at a reasonable price point, especially when compared to more expensive options like Victas 15 Extra or Rakza 7 Extra Hard. Notably, the sponge quality is superior to that of Stiga’s DNS.

Target Audience:

This Loki Sport high-performance rubber is suitable for advanced players with strong technique and material knowledge. It may not be suitable for beginners or players with limited experience.
