Loki Rxton 9 Pro (Athlete Special Version)

Loxa Sponge III sticky rubber; super-elastic energy storage, explosive offense for pros.

This rubber comes from the Loki Rxton range, A37.5 (FH) / A39-41 (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 competitive players with fast, well-timed strokes who can control the extra speed and spin on offer, especially if you play an attacking, offensive game built around generating your own power.

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.
