Loki Rxton 1-T (Gold Edition)

Blue high-density Loxa Sponge sticky (fwd) / non-sticky (bwd) beginner training rubber set.

This rubber comes from the Loki Rxton range, A36 (FH) / A39 (BH) sponge hardness, available in 2.1mm sponge thickness. Offered in black, red.

Tacky rubbers grip the ball directly off the sponge, which favours spin generation and close-to-the-table play, typically with a shorter, more controllable throw angle.

Best suited to players still building their basic strokes, who benefit from a forgiving, easy-to-control feel, especially if you play an all-round game that mixes attacking and defensive elements close to and away from the table.

As a guideline, match sponge hardness to your own contact power: harder sponges reward players who can generate their own speed, while softer sponges are easier to control and better suited to a slower, more compact stroke.
