Customer review for Butterfly Tackiness Drive

External Review for Butterfly Tackiness Drive on May 1, 2012

At a time when good rubber choices were not that many, Tackiness D was a top option as a backhand rubber. For many players during my time, it was Robin and Sriver was Batman. Great combo then as the tackier Tackiness D allowed you to set up for a Sriver forehand.

What I distinctly remember with the Tackiness D is that it helped me developed a consistent backhand loop and even a backhand jab block like the ones Waldner and Primorac used a lot.

However, when I tried using it as a forehand rubber, Tackiness D was a disappointment. After getting used to the faster Sriver, I somehow came to realize that it is not, for me, a forehand rubber. Sure, you can loop it consistently but the speed is sorely lacking.

Had it on my Butterfly Grubba and Stiga Legend. Never tried it on a carbon blade. Overall, a great backhand rubber.
