  1. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Data is always open to interpretation. 1. The reddit link doesn't work. 2. I will take his word for it when he has played a few more weeks with H3N and says he stuck with it for the long term. Most people experience positive feelings when switching equipment, but after the thrill of...
  2. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    I have not played a pips player with a softer rubber in a long time but for me, I don't know how to push or serve with soft rubbers. I get that the lower spin thresholds on a softer rubber might help, but I find the top end spin also troubling for the pips players, especially on service and...
  3. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    And I suppose you do? Educate me. Someone who can loop better with Tenergy 05 than with Hurricane should know this. Most of the Hurricane I have used in recent years has not been that much tackier than my 09c. That the 09c is more catapulty, sure but that makes it actually play softer than...
  4. Equipment Advice

    If you are playing 3 times a week, Dignics 05 or 80 on both sides is more than fine. I think it is better if you play regularly to use what you usually use and gove yourself grace. At most if you block kore, I would recommend 80. That said, i could be wrong. Take some one else's advice and...
  5. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    I probably confused the video with highlights with being a video of different matches. so I was wrong. I will fix the reference. My apologies.
  6. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    Not going to argue with you over your videos. Just tell us who Peter Schillinger is. You posted the ratings at the beginning of the video and I go with that. And I have watched enough of these videos to be relatively confident about who the players are, but if I am wrong, they are not my...

    Don't add to the "slime"...
  8. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    He has changed his playing style significantly. It's a borderline miracle. This is the highest level player he has been able to beat so far. Not perfect, but a clear gap vs what he usually did. EDIT: Had the player wrong - this was the player:
  9. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    So you don't think the way he plays right now in his videos is a significant contrast to how he played in his prior videos?
  10. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    So you mean there are no young kids playing with hurricane on forehand right? And it is harder to play with 09c than 39 degtee Hurricane?
  11. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    So who watched 15 secs analyzing your videos? Can you name these people? I was a poster before I became a moderator. I have posted on various forums since 2011 (some people have posted even longer than that). Your opinion is similar to some. My own thing is simple - I largely follow thr...
  12. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Which are these non-butterfly rubbers that give intermediates and beginners more value than 05 and 09c? Genuinely curious since I obviously don't meet people using them. The DHS ones you recommend in your reviews?
  13. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Not sure which kids you are talking about. Everyone who is focused on topspin rallying begins to struggle with the no spin ball unless they are kept in contact with it. It isn't a property of the rubber
  14. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Thin brush is not what people think it is and it isn't necessarily a bad thing either.
  15. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    So who are these people spreading toxicity rather than trying to help? The people who recommended that you switch to a rubber like T19 a year ago? The people who have posted lots of recommendations based on their experience? The people who have analyzed and watched your videos and posted lots...
  16. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Her backhand rally play was really an exploitable weakness and it was easy to take her out of the game just rallying with it because inverted gives fuel to the opponent and she couldn't cover the whole table with the forehand at that speed. It is interesting how her performance with anti brings...
  17. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    The forum is not about you, lol. The forum is for everyone to have conversations about whatever is posted on it. You can post anywhere. Anyone can post here. It is good it doesn't bother you anymore since it obviously did enough just a few days ago. The reason why a swinging with power is...
  18. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Thanks for the clarification. I am unconvinced that D09c is not a reasonable possibility for coaching intermediate amateurs simply because H3 is and can be. The main issue is price. And of course how one intends to develop the player. In fact, I think the price of Butterfly rubbers very...
  19. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    He is improving so it doesnt matter. He can give the credit to himself, even open minded people don't always learn and success is about results not attitude. He is putting in the work, traveling out to play better players and making changes to his style. Don't confuse his attitude with his...
  20. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    The key word is "blindly". He is allowed to challenge the advice he gets. And as @ThePongCommenter pointed out, he can sometimes accept it a year later when he is more experienced and wiser. As one example, @MORTtheORT asking him to play some powerful backhand openers. I will be watching...
