Any rubber keeps charasteristics for 4 months?

Have you ever discarded a ball not because it cracked but because it's surface became very smooth and polished?

You should try T80. You will have a pleasant surprise!

Is there solid offensive non-tacky non-soft rubber which keeps characteristich for at least 4 months?   How much do you play and at what level? I am about 1850 on bad days and can take down 2100+ (non pips) players with ease on good days and I tend to practice for about 15-18 hours a week and my newest gen tensor rubbers last me a good amount of time. I have had a Rasanter R47 that I had put on sometime last year and it still plays very well. I think the key to keeping your rubbers playing great is a methodical cleaning regime. I always clean my rubbers thoroughly (with water and wipe down dry with a microfiber or dry fit cloth ) after each playing season to remove any dirt etc and always apply a sticky protective sheet for my tensor and a plain plastic sheet for my Chinese rubbers and that keeps them lively for a long time. Most of the people that I have seen complaining about rubber life tend to not clean their rubbers with as much obsession as I do. If you have complains about your sponge losing juice after some time and all you want to do is bring it back to life then i have found that FTL booster does a great job at it with a very thin layer.  Hope this helps!  With all due respect I find that rating range a bit hard to believe, but a good reminder to clean more diligently...

I'm currently playing 20+ hours a week. Tenergy 80 lasts a heck of a long time. I can get at least 3 month out of a sheet. After the sponge starts loosing its ooomph, you can put a thin layer of booster on the sponge to bring it back to life. I can get an additional 3 months by doing this, so 6 month or more you can make it last. I would like to note that the topsheet chips around the edges, but that doesn't impact the performance of the rubber. Also, if you boost it right out of the package, it wont last that long. If you don't boost it super heavily, it last about 3 months from the point you started boosting it.

After this it become slightly  mushy, loops are slower and has less spin, passive returning became harder because rubber spreads balls more, no forward kick. I play 2 times a week, almost never practice, only tournaments and low level league. Loop both wings. T05 is best rubber for me, but abovementioned is mostly expressed for this rubber. Also for rhyzm, vega pro, aurus... Is it maybe due to gluie lost elasticity, how often you reglue rubbers, do you peel off old glue? I use revolution no3 or donic water glues. Or up to blade, i use korbel/treiber k/yinhe mc2?

Depends on how much you play though and how well you keep the rubber.

But I've not seen any of my rubbers hold even near to 4 months

Xiom rubbers, DHS rubbers (once they're broken into) even the non-tacky ones, generally a lot of tacky Chinese style rubbers, and Tibhar rubbers are often 3-4 months.

of course I removed glue from blade, but not from rubber. Do you always remove old glue? I have feeling that as sponge loses juice with time more glue is needed for retaining similar behaviour, this is why I just add one layer om rubber every month.

I think rubbers have already 4-5 layers of old glue. You think it adds mushy feel?

Tenergy 05 or 05 hard!
