RXTON 5 PRO
Loki RXTON 5 PRO is a high-performance offensive blade designed for players who demand a potent mix of speed, spin, and control. Its unique 5-ply wood core is reinforced with two inner layers of Basalt-Hybrid Fiber, a construction that enhances stability and expands the sweet spot. This design delivers excellent dwell time and a powerful rebound, making it a top choice for modern spin attackers who want to dominate rallies with heavy loops and precise placements. It's a responsive and consistent blade ideally suited for intermediate to advanced players seeking to elevate their aggressive game.
The blade features a symmetrical 7-layer construction. It uses Limba wood for the outer plies, followed by inner layers of Basalt-Hybrid Fiber, sandwiching a dual Ayous wood core. This 'innerfiber' design aims to provide a softer feel and increased dwell time compared to blades with outer fiber layers, while still enhancing speed and expanding the sweet spot.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Loki RXTON 5 PRO delivers significant speed for powerful loops and attacks, positioning it firmly in the offensive category. Our testing shows it provides ample pace to dictate the rhythm of a game, making it well-suited for players who rely on aggressive strokes to control rallies and put opponents under pressure.
Despite its offensive power, RXTON 5 PRO maintains an impressively high level of control. Players report being able to execute precise shots and maintain consistency even during the fastest exchanges. This accessibility makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of attacking players who don't want to sacrifice accuracy for speed.
The blade provides a medium-soft to medium touch, characterized by a comfortable and slightly dampened feel on impact. This is a direct result of the inner fiber construction, which offers good ball feedback and a forgiving sensation during play.
The blade's combination of good dwell time and offensive nature typically produces a medium-high throw angle. This is highly beneficial for executing powerful loops and aggressive topspin shots that clear the net with safety.
The inner Basalt-Hybrid Fiber construction is renowned for providing excellent dwell time. This allows the ball to sink into the blade surface, significantly enhancing spin generation on loops and controlled shots—a critical feature for modern offensive play.
The combination of wood and inner fiber layers creates a blade that is neither overly stiff nor too flexible. This balanced flex allows for effective power transfer while retaining enough give for excellent feel and spin potential.
Players report a crisp yet controlled feel with low levels of unwanted vibration. This moderate dampening provides a clean, direct sensation on ball contact without being overly harsh or numb, aiding in touch shots.
TTSensei experts note that Loki emphasizes strong quality control in its manufacturing. The blade presents a solid build with a good quality-to-price ratio, indicating reliable construction and finish for its segment. It's a well-made product that delivers consistent performance.
Technology
Loki RXTON 5 PRO utilizes an 'innerfiber' construction technology, integrating Basalt-Hybrid Fiber layers within the core of its 5-ply wood structure. This approach is designed to enhance dwell time for greater spin, enlarge the effective sweet spot, and provide a more responsive, controlled feel compared to traditional all-wood blades. The technology aims to deliver the perfect balance of speed and control for aggressive, spin-oriented attacking play.

Butterfly Primorac
Butterfly Primorac is a classic 5-ply all-wood offensive blade celebrated for its perfect balance of speed, control, and pure wood feel. While the RXTON 5 PRO uses inner fibers for enhanced spin and a larger sweet spot, the Primorac offers direct, unfiltered feedback that many players love for its consistency. Both suit offensive styles, but the RXTON 5 PRO provides a more modern, dampened hybrid feel with a potentially higher spin ceiling.

DHS Fang Bo Carbon B2X is a 7-ply blade with carbon layers built for fast offensive play with excellent control. In contrast, the Loki RXTON 5 PRO is a 7-layer hybrid using inner Basalt fibers. The Fang Bo Carbon delivers more raw speed and direct power from its carbon, while the RXTON 5 PRO focuses on a more controlled offensive game, leveraging its inner fiber construction for superior dwell time, spin, and a softer, more responsive touch.
