This was a strange rubber to use. At first, I really was confused as to where the spin comes from because this rubber really is not tacky like Chinese rubbers (which I most often use), but it still produced great spin. After exploring Butterfly, I concluded that the spin comes largely from the dwell time of the ball on the rubber. This rubber has great spin and great control. It has a comfortable speed -- not too fast, not too slow. Tackifire Special-Soft is a good rubber for anyone to have. It's not really all that great for any specific kind of shot, but I think the beauty of this rubber is in it's versatility. Loopers, allround attackers, counterdrivers, basically anyone with a more offensively-oriented style can make good use of this rubber.

A very good rubber. Great spin , great speed and good control.

PROS: It has lots of spin, and is great for both forehand and backhand usage! It also has great control and lasts a long time!

CONS: Lasting a long time doesn't mean it is effective for a long time. I find that if I don't clean the rubber with Rushawa Foam Cleaner often, the rubber will play dead. It is also heavy and a little bit slow.

a very good allround or off- rubber. I currently use this on my backhand with 1.7 mm thicknes and it allows me to chop drive serve and has great control and touch and much much more. I suggest this rubber to a person who is not all out attack who is a player like off or off- and i would suggest this to a allround player

This rubber is very versatile. It Produces good spin at a controlled pace. It is not fast, but not slow. It used the 2.1 mm on my backhand for 7 months, and it played very consistent. looping backspin is a breeze! Looping sidespin serves is not as simple, as it has a slightly high throw angle. Overall this rubber is for a person who is looking for good speed, and powerful spin.

Great spin and great control with this rubber. It's got a nice tacky feel to it when you touch it. It's not as fast as most of the rubbers I've used, however has a decent speed to it.

I use this rubber for backhand and my chops have improved many folds. I love this rubber. Theres good control with blocks and attacking shots. Not too fast but good overall for intermediate players like me. Highly recommended.

Excellent control-oriented tacky rubber from BTY. It's not as tacky as Chinese rubbers but its soft sponge and tacky topsheet gives nice spin generation. Decent speed with a fast blade. Very nice all around control and just a very good all around rubber with enough power to finish points.

The speed is signicantly lower than the speed of the Palio CJ 8000 Biotech 39-41!!! The catapult effect is very low, therefore the control is very good! For forehand it's imo only a rubber for lower class player or beginner...

I use it for my FH and I must say its a very controlable rubber with good spin. It is not fast but it's fast enough to finish points. Its worthed the price. Also you must pair it with a harder blade.

nice for chopping with sufficient speed for attacks.
