About Tackiness Chop II
Butterfly Tackiness Chop II is a 1995 inverted (pimples-in) sheet made in Japan. It belongs to the Tackiness series, is ITTF-approved, and is aimed at defensive (DEF) players who want defensive chopping, fishing and disruption.
Tackiness Chop II 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 35° (Chinese tacky); a cut sheet is about 45 g. Factory sponge thicknesses: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX.
On the TableTennisReview 0–100 index the Combined figures are speed 72, spin 92 and control 90 (official mapping 71 / 91 / 89). 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 8.7 / 10 from 380 reviews. Indicative European street price €30. Compare Tackiness Chop II 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.
