I just checked out a sheet of KTL (not LKT but probably the same manufacturer) Red Diamond in.

Topsheet looks very good and the grip is high. On the cover it talks about the "Golden Cake" sponge, and the sponge does indeed look quite different, and feels a lot softer too!
The sponge looks usual..grainy with lots shiny particles in there... not sure what they are...

Anyone tried it yet?

I found a few enticing pictures on a German site... no way will they be as good as they look! New KTL Red Diamond & Black Power-OOAK Table Tennis Forum (27) New KTL Red Diamond & Black Power-OOAK Table Tennis Forum (28) New KTL Red Diamond & Black Power-OOAK Table Tennis Forum (29) They're certainly getting closer to Tenergy in the 'look' department.

I wonder if someone dyslexic made a mould once for LKT and got the letters mixed so they decided to register another name? New KTL Red Diamond & Black Power-OOAK Table Tennis Forum (40) New KTL Red Diamond & Black Power-OOAK Table Tennis Forum (41)

I've tried a sheet of the LKT Red Diamond before, and I wasn't all that impressed. However I've heard other rave about, telling me how spinny it and comparing it to T05, so I think there are significat variation between sheets, and some play a lot better than other.

I played against a friend with the KTL Red Diamond last night, and this sheet was nothing like the one i tried before. I was a lot softer for one thing. Playing against it his loops were very spinny, as were his serves and pushes... a lot more than usualy. On hits the rubber was loud, an obvious tuning effect. His hitting was very good too. I forgot to check what blade he's using, but from memory it's a fairly basic but hard blade. He uses Palio LPs OX in the other side.

On the same night, someone returned a sheet of KTL Black Power to me, as it bubble badly in the middle of the sheet.

Sounds to me like they have some quality control issues, but some of their sheets are very good!

Unfortunatly, RD sheet do vary alot. I have several and one stood out from day one. It is tackier, faster and even looks different than the others. The top sheet is shiny, tacky and translucent. You can see the pip pattern through it. It is a year old now and still is tacky. The tack on the others went down after a short time. New KTL Red Diamond & Black Power-OOAK Table Tennis Forum (61)

I hope the KTL ones are more consistant... I've only seen one so far, so i hope they others are similar.

i think the KTL sponges maybe more prone to bubling since those hoels are so big, there is less surface area for the pips to be glued onto

I have not heard of a Red Diamond bubble up yet, so let's hope not...

LKT stood for Liu Kang Tsu. Liu is his last name so they probably just put it after. KTL = Kang Tsu Liu
