Should i replace rubbers? (for new sheets)

[pedro.dantas]

Hey i'm using rakza Z and dignics 05, both with 6 months of use, rakza Z still tacky, dignics grip is ok but not really close to a new one. I had to boost both of them with haifu seamoon, cause one piece from dignics 05 was cutted after a table hit (edge of wood was visible) and rakza Z shrunked due to reglue. Now rakza Z feels a bit bouncy and dignics 05 lost the ''click'' feeling, but honestly they still play great. I have new ones in package, and will play a minor competition next week (honestly i don't cara about results), does new rubbers can make the game more enjoyable?

My level in this sport still not great, so boosted rubbers sucks to me.

What gives you more confidence? I know what I would prefer but that doesn't mean it's the same for you. In the end, the less you have to think about your equipment, the more you can think about playing.

Also, if you have the means to do so, put your old rubbers on a backup blade and get some more training hours out of them. That way it feels like less of a waste, but also less risk of damage during training.
