I was wondering what is the advantage of tacky rubbers ober non tacky ones?Will it help to return the ball with a loop from a lower height than usual non tacky ones?Does the ball spend more time on the bat in tacky ones? What kind of sponge should accompany a tacky rubber for mad spin?thanks.

Hi Dhruv,
It is just a matter of preference. You can do most of the things with non sticky rubber as with sticky rubber.
Usually the tacky rubbers have harder sponges. Again it is a matter of what you like. I quite like a tacky surface with a softer sponge.

Are tacky rubbers recommended fr beginners
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 10 years ago
They are OK for beginners. The more important thing is the speed of the rubber.
