Missed this, apologies. I think you can create a ton of spin with Zyre03. Just as much as D05 and D09c. It is, without question, a very spinny rubber. But, and this is the key thing for “real world” play…. I think the extra speed/appearance of less dwell time would contribute towards the...

I think lower level players generally have less ability to be able to interpret just what they are getting out of the equipment and evaluate it. Likewise, unlikely to be playing consistently good quality shot to be able to compare. Yes, 99.9 might be an exaggeration, and a more accurate...

I can’t believe I’m going to disagree with our lord and saviour…. Butterfly….. but…. IF (and that’s a big IF), Butterfly did indeed test this in scientific like conditions and proved it was their spinniest rubber, it would have been done so in such a way that is incredibly unrealistic for 99.9%...

I close my eyes and hope for the best! Let's not derail the thread too much..... But it's very hard to gauge table tennis technique from words - It would be great if you could do a video demonstrating how you personally do it (there's a "video safe" thread if you didn't want others to comment...

Just to add some context to all of this Z03 discussion….. Because I really do believe that “ability” is massively overlooked when discussing equipment. For clarity, me (far side, large human), is playing with an inner carbon ALC blade and D09c on both sides. Near side has a ZJSALC (yes...

OK, take this with all of the pinches of salt in the world…. I tried Z03 tonight on a Jike Super ZLC blade. The Z03 was boosted….. although I don’t know how/what etc. Initial impressions - Extremely underwhelming with this set up. It’s just too fast to get any real spin - The ball comes...

I have a few mins before I get to play with it, so thought I’d reply to this…. I think your comment is unfair In this instance. There are certainly “reviews” that are sales pitches, but this review had direct comparisons to D05 and D09C (in terms of commenting on how it’s different). To me...

I’ll be having a knock with it tonight. Although…. It’ll be on a Jike SLZC blade…. So I’m expecting it to be fast!

Amazing - Great review as always. I could listen to Dima talk TT all day long.....

I think for all Dignics rubbers in general. Yeah, 05 is speedy, but the lack of spin reception vs Tenergy still makes it easier for beginners I think (not that a beginner should be anywhere near it). Tenergy was just brutally unforgiving - So bouncy, soft and received spin like the Tasmanian...

Don't confuse price with ability. I personally think Tenergy is a much more difficult rubber to use for most people (compared with Dignics). It's typically much more reactive to incoming spin, very bouncy and makes short touches and "feel" much harder. Dignics might be more expensive, and you...

I love your optimism! Good luck with the sale :)

I'm sorry to say, but the majority of this thread (with a couple of exceptions) is a great example of why not to take random advice from the internet (and often, why giving uninformed advice is worse than giving no advice) If anyone is describing themselves as a beginner/intermediate, I think...

Shall we charter a plane from the UK?!

TTD Family..... Your once in a lifetime opportunity has arisen! After the WILDLY successful tour of @latej 's homeland a few weeks ago, we are looking to go even BIGGER for 2026. @backspacer posted this thread a while ago -...

I'm sure we can make you an honorary Badger for the day......

I think it's just myself and Latej who post on the TTD forum!

Hello TTD! Some of you may remember this thread from August last year….. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/badgers-on-tour.34869/ Well, I am very happy to say that with the excellent help and organisation of @latej, 3 of the Bugbrooke Badgers flew out to Vienna, drove the 3 hours...

I’ll not keep going back and forth on this, because quite frankly…. I just don’t care! 😂 But your argument is exactly what I was saying. You are just trying to use the grey area to justify something that is intended to be against the rules. Your own post states that this rules official said...

I'm back on the computer so it's much easier to respond...... Appreciate there have been a few replies to my initial comment! I fully appreciate people all over the world will do it - But as I said previously and as you've said here.... It's the minority of the minority in a lot of places...
