I think that opinion is valid @Der_Echte and as I have mentioned other times, children under training of coaches and good practice can learn with anything and on anything. The same works for adults but it takes a bit more time, children are like sponges that absorb anything. That aside, I...

Yes @MORTtheORT in matches it all changes, it's only possible to realise this when you are under pressure, 2-2, last game, 5-5 or 7-7 or 9-9, that's where you realise, damn, I can't fully trust on my gear in the most difficult moments, and that moment of doubt can make you lose games.

I agree with you here fully @golden_son , you are not alone, that's why I mentioned in my article the word 'most', there is plenty of nuance and I'm happy that this nuance exists, it's the beauty of the sport. Yes that can be for sure Big +1 to this, it's also my experience. Another +1 to...

Yes this is exactly my same experience @ChientoLi , and I play H3N for years now, with 09c on my BH so I could compare them pretty well for a year. It's the moment that you have a certain speed with it when it stops being linear and goes hard, so for me it was not worth it due to that exact loss...

+ 1 @joshmak10 , I want to think that the beauty of this sport is in the diversity of opinions and preferences <3 I also agree to this @NextLevel :)

Yes @NextLevel this is why I mentioned to Josh that I understand his perspective but to give it a second chance, my training partner uses G09c and he is very happy about it, I have tried it enough to say is a good rubber that I would recommend to people looking for a more controlled, cheaper...

It is very possible that with some people this is the case @jk1980 :)

For sure @Tyce , the topsheet is devilish on a good brush, but it's important to be intentional about it :) And hey, if you can pay the Ferrari, why not drive it? Just dont crash it like afrojack 😅

This is a very good analysis of the situation @Der_Echte , as per usual when it comes from you, thanks for sharing :) And hey, there is nothing wrong with the Aurus or Rasanter on FH. I did some little shoppings (got totally out of hand quickly) last week and got a C48 (plus 20 other rubbers...

I will for sure agree to the 8-80 feeling, it's my current BH rubber of choice :) And yes on blocks I struggled a lot, it really forced me to counterloop, but I'm just not good enough to always be in position for a strong counterloop, now with 8-80 I can block more consistently when needed...

I wonder @joshmak10 if you have reached the sufficient technical level to activate the D09c sponge constantly through shots, as I think (from previous posts that we interacted together) that you use a chinese forehand and thus seem to properly understand the hit-brush technique. Because in...

Ah yes, this is what I mean with different perspectives, great argument here, and it's not wrong, just a matter of perspective, so I'll give you my two cents on how I see this situation: Since the Tenergy series, particularly T05, but also Dignics 05 are faster and wilder than 09c, it feels...

Hey everybody, I come today with a (possibly) controversial topic after having tried 3 sheets of Dignics 09c (1.9 and 2.1) for about a year on 3 different blades (Nittaku Violin, DHS PG7 and DHS Wang Chuqin). My testing was done approx 80% of the time on BH and 20% on FH, as for my forehand I...

What is your current level and how do you play your BH? Hard to say with more details :)

From a theoretical perspective, you would say that your setup is too fast and that Zyre doesn't need to be boosted at this level of play (plus it's not linear with SALC), but I very much agree that every person is a world on their own with playstyle, skills, gear taste, technique, etc. This is...

Yeah I'm of the same school of thought here, I find it way too high throwing on FH where the body provides the arch already :) It's not a slow rubber (but slower than like Zyre or D05), you just need to activate it as @Tyce said, but it plays very nicely on slow gears as well for serve and...

I started using the DHS blade sealer after having a great discussion with people in here and it has been going all fine. Just in case you were looking at water based sealers :) And yes, most cheap, weak or very fine top layer blades need to be sealed, from bad personal experiences ;)

Just a constructive thought, if you mostly block on backhand, I'd say Zyre 03 is not the optimal rubber for BH, since it much faster than G09c :) And for the FH, in order to answer that, do you prefer tensors or tacky overall?

Correct! :)
