External Review for RITC 729 Tack Speed on August 26, 2020

42deg blue sponge, medium tack, lowest profile of pips i ve seen - quite wide as well. I played this on FH of a Sanwei Fextra (6mm 7ply). It is controllable and dead in the short game and it has some lively rebound at medium speed, excelent grip on flicks and serves. Hitting hard gets you a low throw shot that is also spinny. I prefer this to faster forehand rubbers, as you can hit at max speed and the sponge can store the energy and load more spin, resulting in faster shots but trajectories that are only marginally longer. On a slower blade this might not apply.

It is a forgiving rubber and thus suits better for beginners. No insane spin or speed. It is controllable and pretty cheap, making it easy to be bought by beginners.

External Review for RITC 729 Tack Speed on April 29, 2016

It was my first rubber on a preassembled racket.
Good conventional rubber for beginners who are learning PP.
average speed and control, good spin and durable. It works better on stiff blades.

for 10$this is amazing. the sponge is medium, allowing for looping with high spin but is hard enough to givr a little kick of its own while smashing. a classic chinese rubber, although not as tacky as DHS hurricane 2. suitable for utility style allround style and strategical or technical attack. you can get a no packaging version at zeropong if your trash can is over flowing : )

I haven't tried this one with a thick sponge yet, as i played it for fun with a 1mm sponge. of course i played some defence with it and it was awesome. well i'm far away form being a defender, however i could chop on loops so that the ball almost touched the edge of the net. and yeah it had tons of spin thanks to the tacky topsheet. i just had problems to chop slow and spinny loops, because they were hard to keep low.
anyway, i guess i will try this one tuned with a 2mm sponge or so, and redo my rating. by the way: getting this much quality for such a low price is absolutely amazing

I used this rubber 2.1 with a Stiga Alround Classic.
It is my first rubber and I learn to play with it. In general I'm quite happy with it, especially for the price.
Great for serve and generate spin by brushing the ball. I found it hard to play short game (block, flick, push) as the sheet is very responsive to opponent spin.
I found it a bit slow (probably due to the blade I use) as my top spin attack never really surprise a blocker.
I think, it is a good rubber to start with if you like to play with spin but if you're ready to pay the price you certainly can find better.

729 classic is an older tech chinese rubber. I paired it with a harder sponge to make it much faster. I have to attack to use the looping ability. It lost some of its touch and control though. When new it loop well cause it was tacky but once it lost its tackiness, I had to hit it hard to make it loop well. Its very durable. I kept its tack using a grip spray.

External Review for RITC 729 Tack Speed on February 26, 2011

I bought this rubber for my brother but ended up using it myself, it's quite good but I always find that rubbers with such a tacky surface inevitably lose their initial stick no matter how well you try to keep the surface clean either with product or with water. Either way, it's a cheap rubber that allows you to be very offensive and although it may not have the best control, for the price it gives you good spin and speed and is great for serves and over the table play.
