About Tackiness Chop
Tackiness Chop uses Chinese-style tacky build — high grip, often used with booster in Europe and a tacky topsheet that grips the ball for spin-heavy loops. Manufacturer sponge hardness is 32° (Chinese tacky); a cut sheet is about 44 g. Factory sponge thicknesses: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX.
On the TableTennisReview 0–100 index the Combined figures are speed 68, spin 90 and control 92 (official mapping 67 / 89 / 91). That is a control-first inverted profile for defensive chopping, fishing and disruption. Hardness, weight and thickness above are factory facts — not lab tests.
Community score 8.6 / 10 from 420 reviews. Indicative European street price €28. Compare Tackiness Chop with other Butterfly Tackiness and inverted rubbers on the same scale, or open the catalogue filters for DEF inverted sheets.

Factory thicknesses
Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.
- 1.8
- 1.9
- 2.0
- 2.1
- MAX
- 1.8
- Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
- 1.9
- The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
- 2.0
- Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
- 2.1
- Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
- MAX
- Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
