LKT Black Power Golden Cake Sponge

Pic please?

Wow! These names they are coming up with.

I played with the original Black Power for a short time. Can you state whether the Cake sponge is softer/firmer than the original black sponge?

Where did you buy the golden cake sponge version from?  I only see the original BP on zeropong.  ttnpp perhaps?  I saw that they have the golden cake sponge version.

what's the topping?

Sweet and juicy. Ordered a week ago and waiting to test.

This rubber is quite firm and hard, not a soft sponge rubber.  The sponge definitely has a lot of spring to it.  Have not tried the golden cake sponge version tho just the original BP.

So the GC sponge is not yellow (as in the packaging adverts) but black still? How does it compare to the original?

Have no idea. Never used the original BP. Ordered only the black BPGC.

Indeed, the difference between BW2 40 and 41 is too big. BPGC is closer to 41, though I have tried to soften it when uncut.

Can somebody post some pics? I am curious what it looks like 

I wonder, what to you get when you transfer the power of your Black Power shot...on the white ball? 

It is on the second picture.

golden cake got overburned in stove?

I tried it yesterday on my lissom. It's a fast rubber with a high throw, and lightly tacky topsheet. Feels a bit like Gambler Outlaw with a harder sponge and a tacky topsheet. It doesn't have much catapult like H3(tuned by ttrubberman),BW2 Factory tuned or Tenergy 05. It's just fast and spinny. No acceleration or spring effect on fast loop shots or smashes. It's definitely less sensitive to spin than BW2 and H3.

Sounds like the typical 729/LKT type product, combination spin generation, semi-tacky and softer topsheet? So no springiness in short game either I assume, and is there a spin drop off on loop drives as opposed to brush loops?

Wow I just stuck this on a a YMLSC,  to try out later today. What I want to say now is that I opened the package three days ago, and still I need to hold my breath whenever I bring the bat above belly height. This rubber smells bloody awful. And also, I had to use edge tape to prevent the sponge from crumbling spontaneously/self destructing through the cut edges. I don't like gear that doesn't play the same day in day out. And when something smells it's basically evaporating so I can foresee that this one will be changing wildly these days. Hopefully it settles in quickly to a no stench mode - right now it is just unbearable and nauseating. I don't know if the regular black power is like that as well or not. On the other hand I found Red Diamond ok for smell and crumbliness.
