RITC 729 Tack Speed (Friendship/729)

729 Tack Speed has many advantages since it comes with a sticky surface to counter spin many of your opponents shots!

High friction and elasticity, for loop drives and fast attacks and all of that for a super low price.
Use a damp sponge to clean the surface when necessary.

I bought this rubber for my brother but ended up using it myself, it's quite good but I always find that rubbers with such a tacky surface inevitably lose their initial stick no matter how well you try to keep the surface clean either with product or with water. Either way, it's a cheap rubber that allows you to be very offensive and although it may not have the best control, for the price it gives you good spin and speed and is great for serves and over the table play.

I used this rubber 2.1 with a Stiga Alround Classic.
It is my first rubber and I learn to play with it. In general I'm quite happy with it, especially for the price.
Great for serve and generate spin by brushing the ball. I found it hard to play short game (block, flick, push) as the sheet is very responsive to opponent spin.
I found it a bit slow (probably due to the blade I use) as my top spin attack never really surprise a blocker.
I think, it is a good rubber to start with if you like to play with spin but if you're ready to pay the price you certainly can find better.
