Mine is around a month old, like Airoc's, and I don't think it's changed much in that time. Too early to say how long it lasts.

This is a good way of putting it! I find D64 to be more uniform overall, less of the split personality feeling. I'm still highly curious about D09C though. For the time being, I can live with 5 missed close-in shots if I get 1 amazing winner from 20 meters away. I won't win many matches...

I agree with yoass's caveats above. Dignics rubbers have a pretty unique feel IMO and are hard to compare with other options. R53 is brilliant (the best of the current ESN "hard" wave), but is more of a variation on previous ESN themes. Both fast with really good top-end power. Something...

We get ours from Pawel at ppong.co.uk. He's got a good range of base styles and can support all sorts of logo and text placement options.

That was a really impressive change in momentum. Dima looked out of it after game 2.

As Yogi said, they are quite different. The DF range have unusually soft topsheets. Vega X has a harder sponge and topsheet, is faster, and is more spin sensitive. Control and feeling are very subjective. Vega X is a solid example of what a middle-of-the-road ESN rubber is these days - not...

Dima and Dyjas had a right old ding dong on table 3.

I feel a great disturbance in the force. As if millions of wallets cried out in terror, and were suddenly empty.

Timothy Bill - when will the reign of terror finally end?

It's about the same as the Grip overall to a finger press test, but it feels...stiffer...in use. Lower catapult, more linear. I guess that difference comes from the much smaller pores. Grip does genuinely feel like a softer Powergrip, but Powergrip SFX (at least the one I have here) seems...

I was surprised by that Powergrip SFX when I got it - really small pores in comparison to the rest of the new Hexers. It feels much harder than 42.5 as well. Plays well though.

Got a sheet of R53, black, ultramax today. Top-to-bottom: Hexer Powergrip SFX 2.1 Hexer Powergrip 2.1 Rasanter R47 Ultramax Rasanter R53 Ultramax Sponge porosity is very close to R47, but smaller than HPG. Topsheet looks very similar to R47, maybe the pip spacing is slightly wider for R53...

Any chance of a direct comparison between D05 and D80?

Is the only difference between R53 and the older R models the sponge hardness? It's the same topsheet, sponge porosity and so on?

The Falck / ZZ match is incredible. edit - the last game got away from Falck, but the clutch points at the end of the previous games were special.

P7 is my all time favorite rubber. I'd definitely give it another go in the poly era.

Hey all, Selling on behalf of a clubmate - silver tag, I series TBS (I think that's 2008?). FL handle, 94g, good condition for age with a few minor bumps but overall it's a good one. One single owner from new, full service history, low miles and so on. Free shipping in the UK, contact for...

It's obvious that yogi has some informal arrangements with the manufacturers which results in some bias. And I don't say that to knock him - it's just the nature of the beast. Most people who receive products regularly from suppliers in return for reviews will have some sort of pressure on...

Stiga's press release says that they will be available on Stiga's own webstore on 1st October, but will launch worldwide later in October. A little bit of hype building I guess.

I'm a fan of 45 too, but I've always assumed it's just down to sales volume. More people wanting hardnesses at the outer edges rather than the happy middle. Until I see a pic of them using one at an event, it's always dubious. Didn't Stiga also used to say that FZD used Mantra? When they...
