Why do I still feel more comfortable with T05 on FH instead D05?

[jonyer80]

I recently purchased a couple of D05 for my IF.ZLC. I'm a really experienced player that has been playing for almost 30 years, and can't adapt to D05 on the FH, despite being spinner, easier to handle at serves, pushes chops and blocks due to the less bouncier sponge. I cant deny D05 is an impressive rubber that its definitely second to none. Its undeniable that it overcomes T05 in many ways, but unfortunately it requires even better timing and perfect technique in order to take advantage of it's potential at its fullest. In other words: its such an advanced product which is too demanding for most amateurs skills.
Furthermore, the low throw angle it requires some time to adjust If your coming from more lively/higher throw rubbers such as T05 or MXP which are indeed more suited for any amateur.

Just my two cents.

Not everyone can admit this

Just because D05 is a more recent rubber, doesn't mean it's superior in every way compared to T05. If T05 works better for you, stick with it, it's an excellent rubber.

It seems to me that your strokes are adjusted for T05, nothing wrong with that. D05 requires harder swings to get the benefits. Which doesn't mean that a person has better skills. It's more of how a person practices and plays. Some amateurs swing harder and can use it better than more advanced players. That's why there are so many rubber options, because everyone plays differently.

Tenergy 05 and Dignics 05 is like polar opposites of each other, but made with the same sauce.

I has similar problems when changing to H3, but T05 was just too demanding in the short game. I stuck with H3 and now I don’t look back.

t05 > d05 on fh. ttd dan have similar review. D05 tops out from away from the table while t05 have better highend. T05 also have better curve and dwell compare to d05 on forehand. D05 is really a BH rubber close to the table rally. Once it gets far table its just not as good.
