Amultart x dignics 09c/05

[Noslez]

Hello everyone,

I've been using timo boll alc for a couple of years now FH t05 BH d09c.

Decided to upgrade my blade as I feel that the Tb alc is not fast enough for me. Got an amultart eventually but could not decide on the rubber to get. Should I stick to t05 and 09c or should I use the dignics 05 on FH.

Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

I am now using the TB ALC with D05 FH and 09c BH and it's a really nice setup. I actually moved from T05 to D05 because I find it a bit more stable and bit better spin. The Amultart is hinoki on the top if memory serves so the harder dignics indeed might be a better option for you with the blade choice.

Yes, the top ply is indeed hinoki. Thanks for the input.

Maybe I'll switch to d05 for FH & 09c for BH to try. My only worry is that the blade will be too fast sacrificing alot of control????

 

[Ghostzen]

it might be a bouncy setup with the hinoki so your short touch might need some change. The blade is a good blade. actually both are really good!

Amultart is soft and fast. I tried it with T64. I suggest you put whichever Tenergy/dignics that gives you most stability.

Actually, when table tennis resumes, I may just try some different rubbers on it.

Does anyone know how it would play with Rakza 7 / Baracuda / Mark V ?

Personally I've not tried dignics 05, and I'm wondering whether the feel will be close to the t05.

I guess I'll just go for d05 and test it out this weekend.

I play with Amultart and Cornilleau Hinotec OFF+ carbon. I played many seasons with those blades, testing many rubber combinaisons.
In short, my best choice up to now is D05 1.9mm on both sides. It is a question of compromise between speed/spin/control/touch/smash/gears/serve/chikita/chopping/short game/nid-distance/flicks.

D09C 2.1 is a good option for those who are looping from beginning to the end, but racket gets heavy.
I hope some day to see Dan testing Hinotec OFF+ carbon ...

D09C 2.1mm

Hello everyone,

I've been using timo boll alc for a couple of years now FH t05 BH d09c.

Decided to upgrade my blade as I feel that the Tb alc is not fast enough for me. Got an amultart eventually but could not decide on the rubber to get. Should I stick to t05 and 09c or should I use the dignics 05 on FH.

I am using Amultart 87g with 2x D09C 2.1mm and it is controllable.
On BH, D09C is quite hard feeling and it is better to replace by something else

With 2.1mm , you can play as defense too (chopper, smash also !).
At long distance, it is effortless to send the ball on the table.
In block, 2.1mm controls the ball, it is less the case with 1.9mm.
Smash are excellent with 1.9 and 2.1mm.
Amultart has a large sweet spot, it is good for looping, smashing, chopping , but not for shopping cause it is expensive ! ah ah !

How would you compare Amultart and Cornilleau Hinotec OFF+? Are there any significant differences?

Amultart is thicker and weight ranges from 87 to 92g. Hinotec OFF+ carbon is Hinoki but it is very thin (weight is 81~85g), then carbon. So the sound of the ball on Hinotec blade, without rubbers, is in the high harmonics ... Both feel soft ... Darker Esteem is also Hinoki carbon, but the Hinoki is between Amultart and Hinotec. However, the weight is 75g, and the feeling is totally different. Maybe wood quality is different. I will say that weight depends on the weather too. Humid --> a bit heavy. I tried also Donic Waldner blade Hinoki carbon (yellow and blue handle) with T05 both sides 2.1mm. Feeling is different. Amultart provides a kind of longer dwell time, which is good for looping. It does not pair well with D05, cause it becomes too fast. It pairs well with D09C which has high arc, like T05, but it is slower, t omet more control, and spinner, which is good also. D09C is more demanding for the arm compared to T05. D64 2.1 is not good on Amultart. D80 2.1 feels super hard. Anyway, Amultart is expensive, not so much players are using it, but it gives me a super good feeling, so I continue to use it, even it is difficult to control. With T05 2.1, I can smash, loop and counter. It is difficult to block and push short. Serves are good. Plays well mid distance and close to the table. It is soft feeling, not so bouncy, and it can preserve my arm (total weight is 185g with T05 bot sides).
