"Speed glue" is a misnomer
Because research by well respected Professor / coach in Croatia had established that the process produces more spin than speed ( though speed is also increased & for pros only , control is also increased)
So the right phrase would be Speed_Spin glue or spein glue
Speed+spin =spein
Of course spein gluing is common law illegal (due to serious health hazards, according to ITTF, not me) & also ITTF unapproved under Rule 2.4.7 and Regulation 3.4.2.2 of the click link > ITTF statutes
