Easy. Hurricane 3. However, I heard the new Hurricane 3 is not as tacky as before. So you might want to get TG3 instead (it is a hurricane variant basically).

I have a sheet of DHS G888 on the forehand side of a defensive blade with long pips on the backhand side. G888 is very tacky too.

Mercury II is also very very tacky. I think it is about 100% of Hurricane 3 tackiness.

Growing up Globe 999 was also very tacky. I think you can still get it via Aliexpress (for old time's sake, I ordered a sheet from Aliexpress but I have not opened it and used it).

Friendship 279 fx (soft) is also tacky but I don't think it is as tacky as Hurricane and Mecury II.

I have tried other Chinese rubbers such as Rxton 1, 3, and 5, Big Dipper, along with Sanwei Target National and Sanwei Target proviincial. They are not as tacky as the rubbers above.

All the hybrids (K1, K2, K3, Dragon Grip, Golden Tango, etc.) are not as tacky as the rubbers listed above.

Skyline TG2, 729 Origin soft.
Both the same, lift the ball for minutes.

TG2 is 3 years old, so lasting for ever...

Definitely Sanwei Target and Victas Triple Double are the tackiest rubbers. Much tackier than Hurricane.

I haven't tried too many tacky rubbers but the stickiest one was the first one I tried: Yinhe Mercury 2.

Have tried Loki Rxton 5, Rxton 1 Plus, Yinhe Jupiter 3, and 729 Battle 2 Pro after and none have come close.

With Mercury 2 though, the ones that weigh 65g are very tacky (max sponge probably?) while the 60g ones aren't quite as tacky.

DHS G555. I have a bat with it on the backhand and Hurricane 3 neo on forehand. G555 is so much tackier than Hurricane and is quite fun to play with.

Good day to you sir,

Does Mercury II play good spin as same as Hurricane 3 or Hurricane 3 Neo.

Thank you.

Giant Dragon - Storm Soft. Super tacky. The ball hardly moved when holding the bat vertically.

Thank you.

Yes Mercury II spin is as good as H3 or H3 neo. Mercury II maybe is about 80% of the speed of H3? With heavy boosting that speed gap might be smaller.

Best regards,

It depends on what you mean "play good." If you're a beginner, then Mercury 2 may be easier to play because it has a bit more bounce at low speed and an easier to engage sponge. If you're a pro with great mechanics and can crush the ball, then the H3 will be a much better choice.

Here's a comprehensive review of Mercury 2 and should answer most of your questions about it: https://racketinsight.com/table-tennis/yinhe-mercury-2-review/

For years old Yinhe Jupiter ll

Sanwei Target Pro 3 and 729 B2 provincial orange sponge have the tackiest surface to my experience

Many answers- you see it depends on the quality of the single sheet! You can be lucky or unlucky...
