Tackiness Drive is a high-friction pimples-in rubber. This is a versatile rubber that can be used effectively for a multitude of playing styles and levels. Attackers and defenders alike can benefit from the high spin rate, while also taking advantage of how easy it is to control during the point. Designed for the controlled spin player, Tackiness Drive is equally at home for the steady looper or blistering chopper looking for more speed in his or her attack. For players not yet ready to make the jump to High-Tension rubber, this is a great transition rubber. Surface: Inverted Speed: 8.5 Spin: 9.0 Hardness: 38 Made in Japan To get the most out of your rubber, it is recommended that you clean it after each use and store it properly. Using our Racket Care Kit, use one pump of the Spin Refresh on each side of inverted rubber, then use the Rubber Care Sponge to thoroughly clean it. Once it is dry, apply your protective sheets and then place it in your case. Ideally, store your paddle in a climate-controlled space and avoid extreme temperatures for extended periods of time.
