Tackifire Drive is a well-balanced rubber suitable for a variety of playing styles. The sticky and soft top sheet makes it possible to create lots of spin on serves and loops, while the harder sponge makes it easier to keep serve returns short and difficult. Coupled with an allround or offensive blade, Tackfiire Drive would a solid choice for players seeking controlled attacks with lots of spin. It is also very effective for players seeking to defend with lots of spin, then quickly switching to attacking. Surface: Inverted Speed: 9.0 Spin: 9.25 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.
