H3 not so tacky?

[Fnub]

H3s aren't tacky now... Skylines either. What about H2? Has DHS decided to reduce tackiness with all of their rubbers? If yes, are there rubbers with crazy tackiness? I tried STN, J3, they're good but not enough tack. B2 Gold lost its tackiness quickly. I want a rubber like H2 with crazy and long-lasting tackiness for cheap (under 35USD). Thought about H2 neo but I don't know if they're tacky now

Victas Triple Double is very tacky

I have recently glued two DHS sheets, bought at a local supplier at a regional tournament, H3N 39 and H8 39, both commercial orange sponge versions in black, both unboosted.

H3N is very highly grippy, but not tacky, a rubber protective sheet doesn't stick to it. Only asterix to that is that I only noticed that the vacuum sealed packaging was opened before me opening it, so potentially the rubber might have oxidized a bit. However, from what I have read later my rubber seems in line with the recent developments on H3N.

H8 is still tacky, but I would say lightly tacky, in the same line as Big Dipper and Rxton 3 Pink/Blue, I'd say Rxton 3 Pro, Bloom Power and Battle Pro Max are a notch tackier and Jupiter 3 a notch above them from my experience. Fantastic rubber the H8, played my first session with it and I immediately felt at home with it, very eager to give it a spin this Sunday in a local tournament.

Loki Rxton 9 lifts and holds the ball for 2-4 secs before it drops. Did about 10 measurements now. Tackiness is good, I wouldn't want more actually.

Edit: I switched back from Xiom J&H Z 52.5. It was not bad at all, sponge hardness and responsiveness just as I like, but the top-sheet felt a bit thin in harder hits, and that sucks.

My Rxton 5 pro sample was extremely tacky, but needed boosting. My old Reactor thunder black sponge also needs boosting but stills lift the ball after a year If clean even if it looks oxidized.

Sanwei Target National. STN. It is tacky enough for my taste. My opponents still eat my serves on a regular basis.
