I decided I wanted to play table tennis with tacky rubber and have been trying out various ones — this is my first one (or my "zeroth," since I was originally a Turbo Blue user).
The feel on contact is very close to Turbo Blue, with even more tack than Turbo Blue on top of that. That was my first impression.
It's also a bit lighter than Turbo Blue, and the feedback/vibration you feel in your hand is just slightly weaker, but not enough to bother me.
Even when hitting light forehand shots, it puts a good amount of topspin on the ball, which is a huge help.
As for downsides, it comes down to two things: it doesn't produce much in the way of tricky/erratic balls, and the tackiness wears off easily.
Practicing four times a week, after about two months I stop feeling any tackiness, so it needs re-gluing more often than Turbo Blue, which is a bit disappointing.
Also, rather than "it doesn't produce tricky balls," it's more that with Turbo Blue the ball quality changes a lot depending on how you make contact, whereas Double Extra flies pretty predictably in comparison — so that's a trade-off either way.
Honestly, I'm tempted to just stick with this one for good, but I think I want to go on and try the next tacky rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
