Which booster is better for old gen tensors?

E.g. Hexer, I use it on FH now. Speed is not my main concern, I`ve got a fast blade (Nittaku Tenor) and a lot of my own power. I need to soften it up to  help the ball sink deeper into the sponge while looping and gain more arc and confidence. I play in open-air - dust, humidity, cold weather... Rubbers become noticeably harder an lose 'grab' and dwell, ball doesn`t penetrate into the sponge as easy as indoors. So I need to soften it up just a little to regain dwell and control.

Which booster is the best for this purpose?

I think Falco Long is like the gold standard for rubbers overall,

Dianchi works amazing on Chinese but honestly I would just give Falco Long a try! Works well for my H3 Neo and my T05 :)

Slightly off topic but has anyone here tried boosting speed glue rubbers e.g. classic Sriver or Bryce? Is the effect the same but longer lasting?

I remember trying my Falco temp long on a sheet of Mark V. The effect wasn't that great. Whatever effect it generated though, lasted the same time as it would have on tensors.

in the past, i've tried to restore speed and spin of worn Tensors (Samba +, Joola Energy)...

The problem is that you get the speed back, but not the spin. And the speed hurts on short game.

I haven't found an old gen tensor that felt like it was really "booster friendly".

Ideally, boosting should restore spin and therefore control.
