New Dignics 09c no longer tacky?

[Tiber1337]

Has anyone bought a recent 09c?

I just glued a new 09c to my blade, the other side has a 2 year old version.

The new 09c has ZERO tackiness, while the old one can still lift the ball.

I understand that hurricane 3 are produced less tacky nowadays in order to have more speed, are they doing same thing with 09c?

Can anyone confirm?

I have the same experience. I bought about three weeks ago.

What is going on? Do manufacturers know something we don't? Do they think non tacky is better? What about the people who still want tack? Why can't they make both types? Tacky and Non tacky.

There must be some chemical toxicity in tackiness that causes cancer or something. They just won't advertise it because they want to quietly make it go away.

CNT 09c is still tacky and it does not cost that much more. Commercial 09c was a bit random in this regard, i had a lot of old 09c that also had zero tack, it's not a modern problem, it was like this from the start

I messaged butterfly, they claim their quality control is awesome and there was no change in the manufacturing of the rubbers.

Funny

If you like the D09c sticky and it isn't then you should return it back and ask for your expenses (product(s) price and posting & returning costs) They advertise it as sticky!!! This is what I would do if I was in your place!

Japan can be funny , they will never admit that there is a problem but once you prove to them that THERE IS a problem they will be very very apologetic , compensate you and you might even get a box of chocolate on top. 😂

So a not sticky one is faulty? I just assumed they changed like DHS.
M
The last one I got was not sticky either.
Damn next time I will go for the refund. 🙄

Some rubbers actually do get tackier over time I've noticed, esp if you keep plastic on them. I can't speak to dignics

Myself and a few friends just bought some new 09c because ours were near the end of life. Fresh out the box they had zero tackiness

really interesting to see more of this feedback... only heard it a few times and would have expected to come across it more by now but it certainly isn't just a few people feeling this way...

and i gotta get new sheets soon... maybe they want us to buy ZYRE...

 

[sebi]

If zyre is only 10€ more expensive and as they say more durable it might be valid to change.
It sucks that they change products without speaking about it.
Sticky 09c is the one i want

 

[ThePongCommenter]

I have not noticed this...

I agree. My current sheet of 09c can even hold up the ball for a second or so and its almost a month old with intensive use

 

[sebi]

Did you by your sheets directly from butterfly?

Not directly. I bought off a very reputable FB marketplace seller. Been buying from him for years

I just think is is a very light tasky rubber with good grip. You may have created more tack with your maintenance and the sponge getting a bit softer over time?

I wouldn't buy a butterfly product from FB. Lacks supply chain quality control.

my new ones are fine
