I've always (or at least since its introduction...) that Dignics 05 was considered a safer and easier to use rubber than for instance T05?
I'm sure I've read threads and reviews praising its play out of position, its ease of use in the short game although a bit slower than previous generation of rubbers. This thread feels like an anomaly, but my memory may not serve me right!
It’s all relative though. And the ability of the person is question is more important than any analysis of the rubber here.
Let’s take a decent UK Local League attacker (I use this example as I can speak from first hand experience).
If they asked me what I thought between Tenergy 05 and Dignics 05 I’d be able to tell them that I thought D05 was a much safer option, similar top end speed with a lower throw angle and tons of deceptive spin (the same level of spin produced by both rubbers comes off the bat very differently).
T05 is so obviously spinny, that it’s easier to block because you can see that big arc coming your way.
D05 is deceptive, and comes through much flatter, so it doesn’t look like it’s as spinny as it is.
However, would I recommend either rubber to someone who might struggle with consistency, technique or control?
Absolutely not. It’s a complete waste of time if you don’t have the ability to back it up, and if anything, is more likely to have a negative effect on your TT progress than anything else.
Which is why it’s impossible to really advise the OP here without seeing how capable they are of using the rubber.
The 2 answers are:
Keep using it and see if you improve (ignore the whole “break in” thing, if you can’t use it now, you won’t be able to use it in 3 weeks time).
Or, swap it for a slower rubber, which is 99.9999% going to be the right answer I reckon 😊
