Official specifications
Official LOKI data: sponge name, printed hardness, currently selectable thicknesses, colours and hardness codes, taken from current LOKI product information.
LOKI's printed degrees are manufacturer values on LOKI's own scale. A LOKI 37° is not assumed to be equivalent to an ESN 37°. The TTDNA hardness rating is a separate editorial normalisation.
Competition approval is only shown once it has been checked against the current ITTF list of authorised racket coverings. A shop listing on its own is not treated as proof, an approval is never inherited from another model in the same family, and an unverified covering is never shown as illegal.
No reliable official LOKI list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.
