tacky

Hey guys, I'm kinda looking for some tacky and hard rubber, but some of them people was saying that is not fast enough and need more phisical effort to make the ball go fast, like DHS H3 NEO and normal one. So what rubber's would you recommend? If you recommend some national/regional, what's the...

Greetings everyone! I'm looking for a rubber that I'd open and know it's extremely tacky and don't hope I was lucky to get a good sample, like in case with 999T or even more popular DHS ones. Yeah, they all popular and relatively cheap (especially the 999T(-1) ones). But we all know the quality...

Hi all, I would like to know when first tacky hard rubbers appeared, and what the chinese players used before that, did they use non tacky rubbers? Or in that time the chinese were most of them SP hitters? Best Regards, Eduardo

Premise: Up until today, I had only used European/Japanese style rubbers (i.e., mechanically grippy, some type of springy/"tensioned" sponge, etc). I steered clear of anything considered a classic/typical tacky Chinese rubber (i.e., hard sponge, tacky surface, etc) for over 10 years because...

Hi, As in the title. Is the red version as tacky as black? I have heard many times that red tacky rubbers are not as tacky as black ones. Is it true for all brands? Have someone compared battle II red and black sheets? I love the black one. I'm wondering should I just buy red for backhand or...

Hey all, I need to get some more H3 blue sponge provincial rubber. I always buy it on TT11, but the price is quite expensive, at 55.91 USD. Is there any other legit sites that you guys have used to get this rubber for a good price? I don't want to run into any counterfeits. Thanks guys Ivan

Too bad this isn't allowed. [Emoji23]

Hello, I had been wondering about buying alternate shakehand paddle but I ended up with penhold afer alternating my grip between games. I would like to try chinese rubber on my forhand and MAYBE hybrid (or tacky...) on backhand. I have a 5 ply blade all+/off- 729 a1. I will consider buying...

Not here to find something to improve my game. Conversely, I think this will set me back temporarily, but I'm pretty comfortable where I'm at (~1600 USATT). I play with Vega Pro on both wings on an Offensive S. That said, I just want to try it out.... the tacky stuff that is. I have a spare...

Hey. Recorded this for people who have been asking this a lot:

Hi, Just by curiosity, does anyone know about any European pros who are using chinese style rubbers?

How to clean non-tacky rubber ? Should i use butterfly spin refresh ?

Are there any tacky rubbers that would be good unboosted? Some recommendations I've seen are Hurricane 8, Hurricane 3-50, Skyline 3-60, and Hurricane 3 NEO Provincial. Has anyone tried any tacky chinese rubber that they find is good without boosting? What would you recommend to use for an...

Hey folks. I've recently switched my forehand rubber to Hurricane 8 mid-hard which is a tacky rubber. I've played with it for about a month. But I am not feeling that I have the same confidence with this tacky rubber as I had with my non-tacky rubber. I think that I am not able to get the...

Hi and Marry X-mas, we have a month league break and I am again searching for a tacky hybrid, I do not want to boost, I liked the spin and endurance of tacky rubbers. I have tried: Tau - insane spin but hard to play topspins, very hard sponge - boosted better to play = softer but I hate...

Firstly, this is not about boosting/expanding the sponge. this is only about the top sheet. So I'm pretty interested in the idea of restoring the tackiness of my dhs tacky rubber, as I find myself changing rubber after 2-3 months. I have no problem with the sponge, so am interested in using oil...

Hi all, this is my first post. I wanted to bring up a discussion on throw angle and BLADES, not just rubbers. I've been playing for 4 years, and have been slightly modifying my equipment every once in a while, generally using soft all+ blades while trying a few different rubber styles...

I have played with 2.0 Geospin Tacky for 2 years and like it but would like to play with something a bit faster on the forehand. The reason I like Geospin Tacky is the control and feel of the ball on the bat. I recently bought a couple of other rubbers to try as an alternative for my forehand...

Hi guys, I've been looking at trying to find a rubber that is really good for spinny serves and spinny pushes. But also works really well in lifting underspin and 3rd ball attack. I know that the chinese tacky rubbers are great for spinny serves and in the short game for loading up on spin. Do...
