  2. Backhand rubbers? Is d09c too much for a beginner-intermediate player?

    As for 09c on a backhand its a really good and controlled rubber, if you know how to spin, and building on your strategy on spiny serving. It’s easy to control in comparing with other bouncy rubbers, buts it’s kinda new style, most people prefer softer and bouncier rubber. I played for few...
  3. Backhand rubbers? Is d09c too much for a beginner-intermediate player?

    I know a coach that goes the same way, like his students don't learn how to spin, till they get about 2000+, but if you get to that level by playing mostly flat or no spin, why you should be motivated to change it to more looping oriented style? Many of his students plays for 5-10 years, and...

  6. Is body type giving any form of advantage?

    It can be very arguable comment since you don’t know what are diet of FZD and LJK looks like. How much calories per day they intake, what is the quality of those.

    Dignics 09c sheets quickly lose their shinings, i got a lot of them so i can tell the difference, but it’s almost have no influence on characteristic of a rubber. Actually it’s one, if not the best, butterfly rubber in terms of long lasting performance. And i tried them all besides softer...

  14. Backhand rubbers? Is d09c too much for a beginner-intermediate player?

    I think 09c is good for backhand, for types of shots like: shirt game, serve, openup loop, counterloop; even it’s little bit on a harder side, it’s doesn’t feel too much hard, and since the grip of it is one of the best on the market, it’s easy to lift underspin besides of a hardness. But anyway...
