The Loki RXTON 1 is a very good rubber. While it has a low speed rating, the ratings for spin and control are notably higher. The top sheet is of high quality, similar to the sponge. However, I did find that the spin of the red rubber is a bit brittle compared to the black one. When pinched, the red rubber feels softer than the black, which is why I chose to use the black for my forehand.

With a quality blade, you can launch topspin missiles toward your opponent, especially if your technique is solid. Blocking is excellent, and you can angle the ball to place it in your opponent’s uncomfortable side. I believe the hardness degree falls between 37-40 on the Chinese scale.

The rubber is sticky at first, but this tackiness diminishes over time. Nevertheless, there is still some tackiness left, though not as much as that of H3, and it remains adherent to a plastic sheet. You can replace the rubbers every month or so because they are quite affordable.

Over the years, I have used Mercury 2, but they have now fallen off, and the Rxton 1 has successfully replaced them for me.

Questa gomma è ottima per imparare a giocare. Il prezzo è davvero contenuto considerando ciò che offre.

È appiccicosa quanto basta per afferrare la palla, garantendo un buon controllo, un buon rimbalzo e un’ottima durata. La velocità è più che sufficiente per chiudere il punto. L’ho provata su una racchetta a 7 strati di legno e la sensazione che ho percepito è chiara e positiva.

In definitiva, rappresenta un buon compromesso per chi non vuole spendere troppo senza rinunciare a un minimo di qualità. Consigliata!

This rubber is a great bargain at just 8 dollars. It offers average speed, but this can be easily enhanced with proper physical effort.

The rubber performs very well for serving; however, you need to make solid contact to generate a significant amount of spin. Otherwise, the spin produced is minimal.

In terms of control, the rubber is average and provides a good medium-high throw angle. The tackiness is only medium, similar to hybrid rubbers.

I recommend this product; just pair it with a fast, medium to medium-hard blade for the best results.
