Loki RXTON 7

Missing weight specifications added below! I had recently hailed the Double Fish Vollant 2 as an absolute bargain; the RXTON 7 deserves at least the same title, and that, oh joy, because it is also so much better! Never before have I encountered a higher-performing rubber in this price range! (16 EUR at AliEx) I first tested the version with a 39-degree sponge hardness and was quite surprised. However, since the trajectory felt a bit too low for my liking, I subsequently ordered the 40-degree version. Fortunately, it plays softer than expected, and its trajectory also appears to be slightly higher! Incidentally, one gets the distinct impression that the two different versions might actually be of equal hardness! Since I am currently only able to share my initial impressions here, I will certainly revise and complete this review at a later date. Current verdict: players in higher competitive tiers should definitely give this rubber a chance! (I’d be curious to know just how outstanding it becomes once boosted. ; -P)

Here are a few weight specifications: 40-degree version, uncut with protective film: 71 g (in original packaging: 93.5 g). 39-degree version, uncut with protective film: 68.8 g (in original packaging: 92.9 g). Addendum: I completely forgot to mention the softest version (which is available only in red, with a 37-degree hardness), which, incidentally, I haven’t been particularly fond of so far. … uncut with protective film: 64 g (in original packaging: 88 g). … and cut 46.2 g (159×151 mm)

I expected more from this Rxton 7 rubber. But this Rxton 7 rubber is much slower and has less rotation than the Rxton 3 rubber and even the Rxton 1. The base is Viscaria. I glued it with DHS N15 glue. I will buy myself Friendship 729 Battle 2 Gold rubbers, which are now being sold for only $10 during the AliExpress promotion.

I can compare this rubber to Hurricane 8-80. To be honest, this rubber is not that fast—slower than Rxton 9, about the same speed or probably slower than Hurricane 8-80, but has a good arc, and the feeling is good. It feels like having a 37° Hurricane 3 combined with Hurricane 8-80. I feel that this rubber has better spin than Hurricane 8-80, but is slower. My rubber is 37 hardness and weighed 49g cut.

Não é muito rápida, mas tem um controle excepcional e bom spin. O arco é muito bom. Coloca a bola onde quiser, tanto próximo quanto afastado da mesa.
