Great rubber, very tacky. Excellent control for close to mid-range play. Great for defensive-minded players trying to implement an offensive stroke into their game.

I use TF C for my backhand (BH) on my BFY Timo Boll ZLC blade and have BYF T05 on my forehand (FH). Two rubbers could not be more different!

Firstly, TF C is too slow on the BH for me, as I need something with more kick and an ability to produce more lift with a short throw. However, for serves, blocking, pushing, chops, and control, this rubber is great. I agree with other comments that it would need to be on a fast blade to get the best from it. It’s a good rubber for an all-around/slightly defensive style of play.

Versatility personified, this rubber handles everything from long-range chops to close-net smashes with ease.

It truly excels at close and medium range topspins and spin-play. However, it can be a bit unpredictable at times. Pairing it with a medium-fast control blade is recommended for optimal performance. Blocking is not its forte, as it favors an active playing style.

Regarding throw angle, it’s perfectly suited for a wide range of shots. While it doesn’t provide the extreme arc of a chopping rubber, it remains an effective backspin aggression tool.

The only significant drawback is its price, which may be a consideration. Nonetheless, its exceptional lifetime makes it a worthwhile investment.

I can play only with new tacky, which has short durability.

This rubber is a bit difficult.

I guess it’s the same rubber as Tackiness C, but the sponge is much harder. You can’t play topspins away from the table. You can just swat the ball.

I don’t think that Joo Se Hyuk really plays this rubber.

A good rubber for close to the table topspin, very sharp angle with loads of spin. Hard to counter-loop off the bounce due to the hard sponge and tacky nature.

Tackifire-C has a good defensive side with it, because it is slower it provides better control with chops from close to mid distance. I would suggest a somewhat fast blade due to the rubber’s low speed.

Expensive, yet durable.

It’s a very spinny Japanese rubber that feels similar to Hurricane. It’s also slow without glue.

However, it’s costly and heavy, with sheets weighing around 50-60g when cut.

For a control-based offensive game, it pairs well with a carbon blade due to its low speed.
