Loki’s accessible, player-tested progression line — covering eleven blades from pure all-wood builds to GNF and carbon plies, plus six specialised rubbers spanning training inverted sheets through to tournament pips.
An Entry-Level Range, Honestly Labelled
High-grade materials and quality control without unneeded marketing premiums.
Unlike Liang Jingkun or Wei Shihao, the Kirin line is not named after a single player — it is Loki’s dedicated player-development series. Built to support players from their first proper custom assembly through to competitive local league play, Kirin encompasses pure wood foundations, 7-ply offensive power, and specialist pimpled sheets that more expensive series often overlook.
