Recommend a tacky Juic rubber?

[FrenchFrog33]

Is there a Juic rubber that is comparable to a Dignics 09C or H3, as far as tackiness goes? The first rubbers I bought when I started playing over 35 years ago was Juic SpinSpiel. I remember Juic had some really tacky rubbers.

I wouldn't think there would be any tacky Juic rubber you would buy that would offer better performance than a modern hybrid, or be replaced easily with a slew of offerings from a Chinese company.

Is Juic still in business?

Has Juic come out with a tensor/tacky rubber?

I don't think Juic hasn't released a new rubber in years, and they have their rubbers made in Japan so they've never had a Tensor to my knowledge

I used to use Juic 999 series. I liked it. I grew up playing Friendship 729. The tackiness was similar to 729. I have not used Juic rubbers for years though. I now use H3 neo on my forehand side. I highly doubt Juic has tensor or hybrid rubber out. Yes, for the money, I would spend it on H3 neo. If you want to buy a 999 and fool around with it, why not? I remember it being as tacky as 729.

I've played with it, on a bat I've borrowed from a team mate. It was indeed damn good for the 38 mm cell ball at that time, I remember having hard time to block his ridiculously high arc and spinny FH topspins ! They've realeased the Ultima version more than a decade ago that seems to be damn fast, it's still the SpinSPiel topsheet but with a more porous and bouncy sponge in the ESN/BTY vein, kind of 48/50° hardness in the ESN scale. Mid/hard so. But never played with that one. I guess it would be ok with the P Ball, you can find this rubber on TT Japan still.

Paddle Palace also have the famous 999 top sheet and the Elite version with a hard high tension sponge, in max thickness only though, it's probably the same sponge as the SS Ultima: Juic 999 Elite Ultima.

I played with this rubber too (Juic 999 Turbo) a few years ago - not sure where it is or whether it is still made.

Paddle Palace in the US carries Juic 999 Elite. TT11 carries other Juic rubber but not 999. So it is still being made.

Never played Juic Nano Spin Charisma. I just feel that for budget friendly folks, H3 Neo is still the best, boosted. I have tested Tibhar K1 and K2. I just keep on going back to H3 Neo. For everyone in the middle, you can get K1/K3, Stiga Dragon Grip, Yasaka Rakza Z, Xiom China, etc. for hybrid. For people with more money in the wallet, definitely go for Dignic 09c. So I just don't see the need to touch any Juic products. Now if they lower the prices more, then sure, I might get them and fool around with them. Otherwie, I don't see my nostalgia being itchy enough for me to try Juic products again. Heck I bought some 729 lately for old time's sake and they are like $10 a sheet with discount from TT11. So I plan to put them on some cheap wood rackets and fool around in doubles at the cub. I like to try different stuff but I have to draw a line somewhere.

Nanospin isn't very tacky, and it's not very spinney either. I'd doubt a new sponge would make it all that and a slice of cake.

I just saw that Nanospin being on sales for $34.95. But if you said is true, I rather spend that money on, say, Xiom Vega Europe which is a light, soft tensor that some people really like. Or heck, I will buy three 729 for old time's sake instead.
