Is D09C the ultimate, the holy grail of rubber?

[ander999]

Was so good I got rid of mine after a week and sold my remaining ones! All jokes aside it just isn’t for me.

Considering its price (390 PLN here) is more than both of my current setups COMBINED.....I will pass on that one. Also, I am not at the level to use it properly anyway

i agree, i just can't put speed on the ball when i want to, its a hardcore looping rubber with gr8 spin but u need to adjust to get the most out of it.

If you put your back into it, engage your whole body torque, stabilizes your core, tighten it, explode upon contact, feel the ball bite into your rubber and leave with spin ( listen to the sound ) = pure ecstasy! It can be addictive!

isn’t National topsheet softer and thinner than Provincial? Blue sponge

Ultimate, holy grail? No. D09C was invented so that non Chinese National Team players can have something that could compete with player version National H3 blue sponge. One of the best rubbers you can actually buy that approach National H3 performance and not have to boost, probably.

I bet you are an over fifty silver haired Asian Uncle.

T05 is still popular even among the youth (not that you might know hahaha).

Seriously tho, D09c trend was sooo last yearrr. It's time to use Chinese rubbers on both sides now

Can you defend using it over Hurricane 3 neo?

I also like Tenergy a lot. It feels so good far from table.

Of course it is you sillies! That was a rhetoric question.

It is a loopers' paradise.
Close to table - checked!
On the table loop - checked!
Mid distance loop-a-loop - checked.
Far distance - not sure coz' not my game style.

Couple with flexy all wood blade; one reaches TT heaven.

I disagree. I tried it for a month and it’s just too demanding. Every stroke with dignics 09c has to be precise with good body mechanics and power. I know a couple of other players of high level (around 2200- 2300 USATT) who also tried it and told me they were unable to consistently produce quality shots with it because the hardness made it too demanding for them when they were out of position or had limited time to do their stroke.

So yeah, it’s probably the holy grail for a lot of professionals or players with a very agressive serve and third ball attack but not for 95% of us. In my club there is not one player who plays with dignics 09C, not even the guys who play at the highest level. All of them use rubbers between 42,5 and 48 degrees hardness.

I like it everywhere, I can counter really good with it, and rallies are decent too. Even short game is good, the only bad thing is price.

T05 users

D09C users

NatH3 users

• D09C is for the thrills. You play, you go home, shower and recall those wonderful memories of stupendously spinny shots you executed.
• NatH3 is insane; but if they get paid to do it for the potential abuse of their body, let them decide the risk to reward.

and this is when we get popcorn and watch how a T05 user drives in circles over the D09C user
D09C may look pretty, but it aint auto driving

 

[Lizh with skVII]

I prefer European rubbers because Japanese ones are more difficult to buy in China,only a few shops offer butterfly's equipments.

I am a tacky rubber enjoyer. its too bouncy for me.

Highest level and using 42,5 to 48 degree hardness? Sorry but they won’t be „real“ high level, at least compared to Asian or European players/clubs.

thinner - not as far as I know.
the quality is better, not sure if you would call that softer though.

with these prov and national versions, you also have Professional edition (one step below players edition)
