Skyline TG2 Alternatives

[Gtsnake]

Victas TDE is also heavy as STN. So it's basically the same but with higher quality and cost.

So I've tried Battle II National BS. It was only slightly tacky and couldn't pick up a ball very long. It was also slower than my non tacky H3 Prov BS. Any other alternatives besides Victas TDE or STN?

If the new H3 is non tacky are there knockoff fakes that are still tacky?

STN is pretty good. Is it too heavy for you? If so, you can always leave a bigger gap between the rubber and the handle to cut down on the weight.

STN has tacky top sheet.

Mercury II also has tacky top sheet but it is too slow.

I have tried Battle II Provincial blue sponge? It was a long time ago. I did not enjoy it particularly.

I don't like any of the hybrids either. Not enough tackiness for me.

STN is pretty much it for me right now.

So... new skyline 2 sheets are not that tacky anymore.

Any similar alternatives that are still tacky that I can try? I still love skyline 2 though.


Thanks

boost it, the sponge expanding make the topsheet thinnier and tackier. I experienced the same with my H3s

Loki Arthur China and then hope you get a durable sheet.

Still tacky and good for me after several months of use.

It's a good idea to cut off the bottom but the problem with that is it changes the weight distribution. It would make it more head heavy.

I'll try the STN where is a good place to get it from Aliexpress?

I might add Loki Rxton 9.
And imo B2 BS does come quite close as well for a better price.

Try Rxton 9 its pretty tacky, also my Rxton 5 pro Blue sponge sample was extremely tacky while new (maybe too much even lol) but it feels like its Made to boost to make the sponge More Lively/dynamic🤷

I get mine from Megaspin. It is very fast delivery!

Have you played the old Skyline 2? How does the tack of Rxton 5 Pro compare to it?

I played a long Time algo, i have More experience with skyline 3 & H3. My Rxton 5 pro had good tack, cant say anything about durability though.
Felt pretty close to H3 or tg3 tack.

Rxton 9 its great too & More Advanced but a bit pricier. In this Review you can see the tackiness from min 3:40

You can find it with sponges of 39 or 40.5 degrees. Or if you prefer softer look for the Rxton 9 "Speed" that has a sponge of 38°...

Another great & cheap option Is Reactor Thunder Black sponge, great durability AND tack. I used mine for a year boosted, and even though it looked worn out & oxidized, it still could lift the ball More than 10 secs😎

Skyline 2 or Skyline 2 NEO? Or both?

I switched to Xuperman after trying Skyline TG2 Neo. I found Xuperman to be equally easy to use and feel similar to Skyline, but with noticeable improvements.

Is it true that dhs made New hurricane and skyline less tacky? Why is that? Those rubbers where super successful and popular for more than a decade.
