I have black, thick Hurricane 2 on the backhand of my Trinity Carbon, and Super Anti thick on the forehand.
This is my impression after moving from tension rubber to tacky rubber for the first time.Tacky rubber has a reputation for being heavy and hard, but this Hurricane 2 is actually quite light for a tacky rubber, and the topsheet is soft.
When I hit with it, I got the impression that the bounce scales with however much force you put in. On soft hits and in the short game it barely bounces at all — you'd never guess it's mounted on a carbon blade. At first I kept catching the ball in the net over and over. That's how well it holds the ball.
That said, on hard hits it really does bounce a lot. Partly it's down to my own technique, but I get overshooting misses even from mid-distance because of how much it flies.
Put in effort and it bounces, ease off and it stops — I felt like it's a pretty honest rubber that responds directly to the user.
The one thing it lacks, though, is speed. Naturally, it can't compete with tension rubber there.This got long, but this rubber's defining traits are its light weight, softness, and lack of quirks — it's a rubber that even users coming from soft tension rubber can handle just fine.
If you're moving on from tension rubber and can't decide on a rubber, definitely give this one a try.All Speed Spin Control

It's fairly soft, I'd say.
It's easy to put spin on and the maximum spin you can generate is fairly high too, so chiquita-into-drive combos are easy to pull off.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is my first tacky rubber, but it wasn't an issue at all.
Hard hits fly well and the short game is fine too — the stop especially
stays put and is easy to do.
The hardness isn't that noticeable either.
I really don't think you'll regret buying it.
At first it's not that tacky,
but using TSP's tacky sheet makes it quite good.
By the way, I'm using max thickness on my forehand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used it on my backhand.
It grips the ball really well, and chiquita is easy to hit too. But if you tense up too much, the ball drops short.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

This is a spin-focused rubber.
It's softer than others, so it's easy to control.
Personally, I don't think it produces much speed.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Among the Hurricane rubbers, this one is soft and easy to use. Since the sponge is soft it might suit beginners, but I think advanced players could use it well too once they master it.

It's more of a slightly tacky rubber than a truly tacky one. I also feel like it doesn't generate that much spin. If you want a low-throw rubber, this might be the one.
