Every Loki rubber placed two ways: where it sits in Loki’s own range, from beginner sheets to the Star Special editions, and how its published speed and spin compare across the whole line-up.
The Loki rubber range
Loki’s 2026 catalogue groups its sheets into three families and four levels. Pick a family, then read up the levels for the step up. Each sheet links to its product page.

Speed and spin, side by side
Loki’s own figures on a 1–15 scale. Further right is faster, higher up is more spin. Select a dot, or pick a rubber from the list, for the full figures. The tabs show one type at a time on the same scale, so a rubber never moves when you switch.
The chart needs JavaScript. Every figure is in the table below.

The sponge technology behind the range
Two sponge treatments named in Loki’s catalogue.
Enhanced internal energy
Energiser is worked in from one side of the sponge. That softens it and adds elasticity, which Loki describes as a bow-and-arrow effect that makes the sheet easier to load with spin.
Deep internal energy
An upgrade of TenEnergy. Energiser is injected into the rubber particles several times and worked into both sides of the sponge. Loki says this raises elasticity throughout, keeps the sponge storing and releasing energy consistently, and still leaves a soft, comfortable feel on contact.
Common questions
Where do these speed and spin figures come from?
They are Loki’s own manufacturer figures from the 2026 catalogue, on a 1–15 scale. They compare Loki rubbers with each other. Other brands rate on their own scales, so a Loki 13 is not the same as another brand’s 13.
Which Loki rubber has the most spin?
On Loki’s own figures, Rxton 9 China - Liang Jingkun Special has the highest spin rating in the range, at 13.5 out of 15. Spin also depends on your blade, your technique and the sponge thickness, so use the chart to compare sheets rather than as a guarantee.
What is the difference between a tacky and a tensor rubber?
A tacky topsheet grips the ball and usually sits on a harder sponge, so you supply more of the power and get a lower, spinnier arc. A tensor rubber has a non-sticky topsheet over a pre-tensioned sponge that does more of the work for you and launches the ball higher. The tacky vs tensor guide explains more.
Which level should I start with?
If you are still learning to loop, start in the Entry / Advanced row. The Kirin K1 and K3 are non-sticky, and the Rxton 1 and Rxton 3 sheets are tacky. Move up a level once you are generating your own power on both wings. The Shop by Level page puts whole setups together for each level.
Are all Loki rubbers tournament legal?
Yes. Every Loki rubber in the range is ITTF approved, so it is legal for league and tournament play.
All speed, spin and control figures are manufacturer specification from Loki’s 2026 catalogue. Hardness is the softest sheet we stock in each colour. See the Chinese vs European hardness guide for both scales, Shop by Rubber Hardness to compare with your current rubber, or the Blade Performance Matrix to pick the blade underneath.
