Victas TDE...Stickiest rubber???

[FrenchFrog33]

I tried someone's Victas Triple Double Extra rubber. It was SO sticky that my serves required a lot more power just to get the ball over the net because the ball was sticking to the rubber. Also, I picked up the ball withe rubber and it stayed on for 5 seconds.

Dario Grd has a review of it and it indeed was a very sticky rubber even being able to catch the ball with its stickiness out of the air when the ball bounced from below against the rubber facing downwards.

NONONONO gluing it on with superglue does not count

yes, it is the stickiest rubber i have seen in today's world. Apart from the really old generation of rubbers

I like that rubber, but I wish it was lighter

It's just ok. It can't take on booster without bubbling, which is a huge strike against it.

There are far more better and cheaper options to be honest: Double Fish is great

I boosted a couple that were ok, but I didn't use Falco or go hard. I just did one light layer of yellow haifu. I got lucky and got a few sheets cheap in Japan, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. It felt slightly faster than h3. I really liked the tackiness tho

Does V-TDE plays like NeoH3 or more like D09C? More Chinesey or more Seperinspongi'ish?

Neither nor

I think it's closer to 09C but less lively. It has a really hard sponge (like the harder H3) but the topsheet is soft and sticky, much softer and stickier than either the H3 or D09C, which makes it play quite different.

How do you boost an rubber or with what?
and what bring it to the racket? if u boost it

There are boosters available in the market, e.g. from the company Haifu or Falco or ...
After letting the rubber dry for 1 to 2 days you put the glue on the sponge and glue it to the racket as usual.

There are a lot of threads in this forum that explain everything - just use the search function.

TDE is very sticky but it weighs a ton. It felt like I had a brick stuck on my blade.

Coming from D09C, it is not a straight forward replacement? No?

No it's not, the trajectory at different speeds is quite different compared to 09C.

It's definitely closer to H3 than D09c.

I would say it is even more Chinese than H3. Very very sticky, a bit of a deadish bounce, very hard.

OK thanks. No V-TDE for me then. My D09C is showing signs of aging. Looking for replacement, cheaper version to be certain. Glayzer 09C is my first candidate but there is just something about her that I don't like... can't exactly pinpoint it to be sure.
