Hi Piao Piao,

The Tackiness-C is a slower rubber with good grip on the surface. If you feel comfortable with it then it is right for you.

Personally I like grippy rubbers because I like the throw it give me off the rubber. Tackiness-C would be slow for my game but may suit you.

I haven't played competitively with them but I have hit with them.

Just a clarification- Tackifire C is very different to Tackiness C- the difference between Zhang Yining who uses the former and old fashioned choppers with the latter. Tackifire C is Butterfly's attempt at a "Chinese" rubber- heavy, hard sponge, fast and spinny.
