There was some talk about Loki equipment a while back (do a search) but not much since then. It's a minor brand, based and available in China (unlike some other brands, such as Giant Dragon, which is made in China but not available from Chinese vendors). I found the "Official Loki Shop" here:

https://lokisports1.aliexpress.com/store/3522020

You can also see the various Loki rubbers that are approved, in the LARC:

https://equipments.ittf.com/#/equipment ... _coverings (search for "Loki")

There seems to be quite a few new rubbers that have been introduced since the last discussion. "T3" (actually "T3 Paragon" in the LARC, 158-003) is one I hadn't heard of before. At $16-19, it's not exactly the most expensive Loki rubber available - the "Arthur" series is the most expensive. T3 would be about the same price, as, say, Yinhe Big Dipper (somewhat expensive for a Chinese rubber but lower than most ESN Tensors or Japanese rubbers).

So what other "premium" Loki rubbers are non-sticky? The only one I see is Arthur Europe Diamond. That's a $31 rubber. You can compare "numbers" between this rubber and T3. (Europe Carbon seems to be sticky - which is weird, since they use the same topsheet number, 158-009.)

It seems to me that the Loki Arthur lineup is analogous to what Sanwei sells. Just exchange "Arthur" with "National". Also Xiom has some "Europe", "Asia", etc. variants.

I had the RXTON 1 and V and they are all awesome rubbers, I'm quite sure that the T3 (Thor 3) is a surprins tensor rubber.

The RXTONS seem to be their "training rubber" line.

I was looking for a "made in" label on the packaging of their more expensive rubbers but couldn't see any. If they're made in Germany (or the EU) they'd be ESN Tensors.

I wonder who Arthur is.. :lol:

The RXTON 5 is not a training rubber at all, it's more bouncy and spinnier than the commercial Neo Hurricane 3. Perhaps they call it training rubber because you won't find it in different degrees of hardness or thickness.

It may or may not be really spinny, but in their Official Store, Loki lists it under the "Training Rubber" category. Being faster than H3 isn't difficult - most cheap Chinese rubbers are, in fact, faster than H3 (unless you get the expensive variants, with which I have no experience).
