I've always been using finezip until recently where I changed to free chalk II. I can't say I have had the same problem or to the same extent as shown by the photos. That is some serious sticky force to be able to tore a rubber in half like that and the residue on the blade! When I remove my...

Today I drove back to the city. It was a rough drive, through thunderstorms where the visibility is so poor that I had to slow down. It was already a long drive to start off with, 400+km, now with poor weather, driving slower and more stops etc. Anyhow, I got there in the end. The main reason...

I won't have any TT training and gym sessions until I get back to city on Wednesday. During this weekend, I went to gym instead. Work and job applications have been taking alot of my time and it makes it hard to attend the already seldom table tennis sessions and gym times. Because of that, my...

Lots of excellent replies in this thread already. I'll share my experience. It is a common situation, usually for newcomers to a club. I am also not an extrovert but I find that when I go to a TT club, everyone has something in common: they want to play TT. This makes it much easier to start a...

Hi blahness. Yes that is what I’m finding too today. I had a hit today at the club doubles day. I’m liking the topspin side of things, receiving topspin or no spin serves. Still getting used to looping backspin. Need to get myself out of the mindset of hitting the same stroke as H3. Otherwise...

I played with old coach for an hour today. It was a good one as always, and I appreciate his time to do it for me. I had more practice with the dignics 09c. I don't have issue with its speed now. One thing I noticed though is in my looping of backspin, when I try to do a thicker contact, it...

So close.. I was hoping he would have succeeded.

How did you manage to get that fracture? (Weber B ankle fracture) I'm not an orthopaedic surgeon but I found this patient info sheet online. https://www.esht.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/0578.pdf All the best with your recovery!

I mucked around in the social doubles club this morning. I knew I would not be able to practice/train, but I needed the hours playing with the blade. So it was not that fruitful but at least I am spending time with the rubber trying to get to know it. I don't have good control of it yet...

Yeah I know D09c isn't the bounciest, as my dignics 05 is much bouncier :) The point of the thread is more about comparing my dignics 09c vs my friend's version. I have tried it on his blade, and I know what it is capable of, and my understanding of the nittaku acoustic carbon inner is that it...

Yes I think that is what I will do. The fact that it felt better after I hit some balls really hard into the barrier was very strange. My friend suggested it to try 'break it in', but I don't believe dignics require breaking in.. maybe it was removing some tackiness.. I don't know, but yeah...

I am not really inclined to re-glue it. I was very particular in my gluing. I made sure the glue is well dried before sticking. The whole gluing process did take an hour. It took ~30 min for first layer of glue to dry, then i applied 2nd layer on and then waited. The glue on my bat had waited 1...

I am not really inclined to re-glue it. I was very particular in my gluing. I made sure the glue is well dried before sticking. I even used a roller after a few times in all directions firmly to ensure no bubbles etc. My other friend also mentioned that as I left the transparent film on when...

It wasn't a good session today. Trying out the dignics 09c, but got the issue where my rubber feels like it is 'dead'. Full details on the other thread: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/dead-dignics-09c.31831/ Thinking if I should reglue it or would that make a difference?

I came from H3neo. It is slightly faster than my H3neo but I was expecting more punch like what I can feel on my friend's blade.

I got it from a person that sells rubbers to our local area, I would doubt he sells fake as he is one of the more well known guys around that sells tt equipment.

Hi everyone, I recently changed to dignics 09c on my forehand. In my gluing, I used butterfly free chack II, 2 layers on the rubber, 1 layer on the blade (Harimoto innerforce ZLC) Today I played it the first time. It felt like it is 'dead', not bouncy at all. I let my friend tried it and he...

I would say @OldschoolPenholder was my inspiration lol!

Nice one NL. I really like the story telling. Good read after work.

So basically, need more $$$$$$$$ to go full Gozo mode
