I think he used to play with Butterfly Gionis Carbon ALL+. now he has Xiom AZXi Ice Cream Pro with Tenergy 05 (had this on the old blade, too) and Yasaka Rakza PO. he is really satisfied. AZXi was mine but sold it to him because it was too heavy with my setup but with short pips it is much...

thanks for this, was thinking of pulling the trigger and trying Harimoto ALC, but now I will rather either invest in new pair of D09c or try the infamous Zyre 03. also, I played with HAL yesterday after not playing for month and a half - this is really a blade that helps you, that makes it...

if anyone needs an advice - my team mate went with Yasaka PO and had no problem with transition, says it play really similarly speed wise and control wise, but can dictate what kind of a ball he wants to return - more rotation, less rotation, dead or put some rotation back. he is satisfied. he...

I mean, I do have Omega VII China Guang on practice blade and then Double Dignics09c on competition blade, but yes, Butterfly does have something extra, to be honest.

yes. H8 is much more forgiving. but … there is always a but … it is still quite a demanding rubber to play with. but since you are already used to playing with chinese rubbers, it shouldn’t be a problem. also - H8 and boosting, in my experience, doesn’t go well together. I preferred it...

that's why I asked @ripctt2 how good he is and how good his technique is ... ;) because, as good as Dignics09c is, it is also quite demanding. but there are several times when I hit the ball, I can hear that speed glue sound - not everytime, but when I am 100% with timing and the whole stroke...

I mean, I don't know how good your technique is, and how good of a player you are - but for me, speed and control are not an issue, problem is dwell time, because a lot of times I have a feeling like I already made the stroke, but the ball is still sitting in the sponge, if you understand me ...

you won't really overshoot, but they play quite different.

I am playing with Dignics09C on FH and Dignics05 on BH. but of course, also tried vice-versa. Dignics05 is faster and way bouncier than Dignics09C, but D09c has more gears, mostly because it is not as bouncy and you can play nice and easy, slowly. you can with D05, too, of course, but more care...

how is stickiness compared to Dignics09c?

sorry, I haven’t played with this rubber, yet …

why not? I love his content (and your’s, too, to be honest), but his reviews helped me so many times …

well, I didn't play with AZX Pro but with AZXi Pro and Dignics09c is really good on this blade, the only problem is that the blade is ultra heavy, and the whole combo goes up to 200g ... and then I grab a blade that has 188g and everything seems so much easier ...

yes, I agree … the C5X.X range has really poor durability. I had C55 for maybe 10 days before I tore it on misjudged stroke, but it was looking already quite bad. I don’t think it would survive more than a month more of playing. C52.5 is the same - got it exactly to see, if I maybe got a bad...

again ... you don't play much table tennis, do you?

with all due respect, and I have a lot for your work (which I am very grateful for) but ... you are a bit wrong here ... at least when speaking about 2.1 thickness rubber, D05 has tons of dwell. more than D09c. I love a good dwell rubber, but, at least on BH, D05 has too much. might be blade...

in apparel department, there’s nothin like H&M sport t-shirts. and a local firm making mainly leggings for ladies, but also make awesome men’s shorts. and that is my combo. I also prefer subdued color schemes so … table tennis apparel is quite shiny colourful happy people style. 😂

I did try Rising Dragon, but it need some boosting, but after boosting sponge cracked - literally. I gor Rakza Z EH now to try, will put it in backup blade with regular Rakza Z. main blade remains to be Dignics09c on both sides.

ah, ok, that changes things a bit ... 😁 I would still say all-wood is still a must for beginners, exactly from the point of what I said - to learn to produce your own power. but I do agree that switch to carbon blade could be happening earlier in modern table tennis than it happened when I was...

uf … to be completely honest with you - we shouldn’t be having this discussion … you need an all-wood blade with some slow(er) rubbers. so you can learn how to create your own power. own speed and spin … i.e., a kid in our club, 11 years old, plays with Petr Korbel, Tibhar MX-P on FH and...
