Replacement for 999 Super 999T?

[Spookex]

I played for a bit with the 999 Super 999T and really liked it, but it was taken off the larc back in 2017. Now I’m searching for a replacement. What are your suggestions?

I played with those during my early days, but much preferred the DHS G888. I think Globe still makes their version of 999's, is there any difference?

If you want more modern, Hurricane 2 is "supposedly" the successor.

IIRC the 999 super 999t was one of if not the tackiest rubber there was. The approved ones that are made currently by Globe are medium tacky.

Now, I'm very confuse about 999 series so many 999 such as Globe 999, super 999T. I have super 999T and I'm not sure it is a same rubber with Globe 999.It tacky and slow but suit for FH. It is very cheap 5$/sheet.

 

[Spookex]

That’s the rubber that I’m talking about.

I suggest a sheet of 999 or 999t that U like.

Both are on the Oct 14, 2019 ITTF LARC are look valid as heck.

Those are the medium tacky rubbers that are valid currently that I mentioned. This is the one I’m replacing

I think you like it because it's slow and non-bouncy and further enhanced by the stickiness. Try the original 729.

Speaking about this takes me to the good ol' days. Speedglue some G888, stick it on counter-top overnight, then pump another 2 layers before playing the next day. Play a few games, rip off and pump some more juice before the next game. Don't stop juicing until you see the goosebumps forming under the pitch black sheet and then splash some more for good measure. By that point, all rubbers are the same.

I have some Huieson blue bottle speed glue and boy does the stuff work on the 999 Super 999T.

 

[Spookex]

Try the original 729.

Anything more to go on? Couldn’t find it on a quick look.

 

[Der_Echte]

Ah so, then Super is outta there like a bat outta hell.

If you can't find the 729 "original" try the 729 Cross, pretty sure they are the same thing repackaged.

Honestly, a rubber doesn't need to be "super sticky" even with regular H3 there is no slippage on ball contact, any more is just overkill.

Good thing about the hyper glue days is that nobody asks around for Tenergy "alternatives". More glue=faster.

 

[Spookex]

Having a rubber that can casually hold the ball upside down can be a good intimidation tactic xD

 

[Spookex]

I couldn’t find the cross in the larc. Is it entered as R.I.T.C. 729? If so what version to choose? There is universal, classical and 729-2

 

[lasta]

Classical, or FX if you prefer the 999T to the original 999.

Globe Taiphoon is also super sticky if it is still in the LARC.

I ordered the 729 cross classical
