I was wondering how this rubber is compared to TG3? Any opinions or reviews will be appreciated.

i am not sure about the weight, but i think 999 is perfect for looping all types of shots. i find it a little hard to loop underspins with the tg series. if you want to kill an underspin, then you should go for a 999 nat. cause it's much easier to loop with. i have to say that 999 nat. is bouncier than the tg series.

i don't think there's any rubber that would outbeat the quality of 999 nat. even a regular 999 plays better than a H3.

black is a fair bit more tacky... red is only mildly tacky.

The sponge is quite dense, making it quite heavy, but this is probably what makes it unique. It's heavier than cream trans, not sure about skyline 3. I personally don't like heavier rubbers either, but I can't get the same feel with other sponges, so that's the price I pay...

You might have already answered this, but how does this rubber compare to a commercial version of H3?

Does this rubber glue up well? Does it react better than H3?

Would g999Nat red have better control for use on b/hand than black, considering i play over/close to the table?

i think they have both the same speed and control ideally with only a little bit of difference on the spin favoring the black one.. i weighed the 999 black national against the tg3 and its heavier by 5 grams
