Today I tried hitting with some mates' rackets. One was a D09c that was some months old and all the tackiness had worn out. Another was a brand new Dignics 05. Based on reviews, I was expecting that 05 would be faster.
Both were excellent, fast and responsive. Compared to my normal rubbers (using $13 Moon Speed ATM), there are a pretty big difference in performance.
However, I felt that the 09c sponge was a lot faster, more powerful, more penetrating. The 05 felt softer and more forgiving, but didn't have as much authority as the 09c. The 09c really had a strong, authoritative feel and sound.
Anybody else feel this way? I was thinking, why don't they give this same 09c sponge on the 05 topsheet?
