    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a sticky rubber for choppers, known for its excellent spin and control properties. While it is commonly recognized that speed is lacking, it is easy to handle for beginners to intermediate players, with particularly good stability in chopping techniques.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent spin performance with sharp, easy-to-hit chops
    • Soft sponge with good grip and easy control
    • No speed output but suitable for beginners
    • Powerful for backspin techniques like serves and pushes
    • Prevents over-swinging typical of choppers
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe soft sheet and sponge prevent misfires, delivering multiple sharp chops. Since you are not at the mercy of your opponent's pace and can apply spin at your own pace, this is an excellent rubber.
    ▽ CriticalDespite its sticky properties, the soft sponge makes it difficult to generate speed, making it unsuitable for attacking techniques. When attempting aggressive shots, it tends to produce loop-like trajectory.

      I'd highly recommend this to choppers. Of course, intermediate players and above will probably find it lacking, but the chops bite well and stay consistent, and even on attacks, while it lacks power, it's stable — so it's perfect for beginner to intermediate players!

      This is the rubber that anyone starting out as a chopper should use first. It cuts the ball cleanly, and it also holds back the over-swung chops that beginner choppers tend to make. On the topic of holding the ball back, I'd also recommend it to anyone thinking of moving from long pips to inverted rubber on both sides. Backhand chops come out with a low arc and land right in the table. It's a rubber every chopper passes through at some point.

      Sergei Soft but chops sharply

      Reviews by user

      The sponge is quite a bit softer than Tackifire C.
      The tackiness isn't that weak either, so the ball still doesn't fly much, but the sheet is a bit hard, so you can still get some speed by brushing it.
      If the sheet were mushy too, I don't think this rubber would have much reason to exist (lol)

      I used it on my backhand, and the first thing I noticed is how light it is. Since a thicker sponge makes it easier for the ball to sink in, being light is a nice bonus.
      That said, once the ball sinks in, it doesn't come back out with much force... Attacking is tough.
      If you try to add spin, it ends up coming out looping rather than fast.

      For chopping, both the stability and the sharpness are excellent.
      I think it's better to chop consistently rather than mixing in knuckle balls.
      That's because the ball speed off it is quite slow.

      For the B-side (especially inverted-on-both-sides choppers) I think this is very easy to use.
      For me personally, the medium sponge felt like the best fit.
      I used to play as a chopper, and after switching to this rubber my playing style really came together.

      This rubber especially makes it very easy to put heavy backspin on pushes and chops.
      You get chop after chop that's so sharply cut the opponent can barely return it,
      and just pushing firmly was enough to make the opponent's drive go into the net. It really has powerful spin.

      Also, because the sheet and sponge are soft,
      the ball never flies off unexpectedly, and you get stable returns time after time.
      What's more, because it's slow, techniques that slow the opponent's pace down, like stops and chops, are extremely effective.
      In other words, you get more time before your next shot.

      On top of that, it's less influenced by the opponent's spin than other tacky rubbers.
      So I can put spin on the ball at my own pace.

      With all these strengths, this rubber is just supreme! I'm sure I'll be a loyal user for a long time. Thank you! d(∀≦)

      For a tacky rubber, the sponge is surprisingly soft and the ball sinks in nicely — with previous rubbers I was generating spin through the sheet's grip, but with this one I can generate it by letting the ball sink into the sponge instead.
      Since it's very tacky, high-spin techniques like topspin drives, pushes, and chops are easy to pull off, which really widens your range of play.

      Yutchi @ cut Tackiness Chop bounces a little

      Reviews by user

      This is basically Tackiness Chop with a bit more bounce added. If you've used Tackifire Chop you'll know what I mean, but the amount of spin is quite high. I'd recommend it to choppers who want their chops to bite hard, or to intermediate players who want to put it on their backhand for heavily-spun receives and serves!
