Dignics 09c longevity

[TensorBackhand]

Let me guess, the 3 rubbers are not glued on 3 identical blades

I can do you one better. They have been glued on the same blade at the same time.

The miracle of having 2 sides to a single blade.

I personally disagree. Right now, I have LAC, D09c, and Dragon Grip glued on 3 separate blades.

Well, make up your mind 😂😂😂
Maybe it was about time that somebody invented the 3 sided blade, congratulations.

I played 09c for about 2 years. It's easily my favorite hybrid, but the top sheet wears out fast. IMO faster than T05 and very much faster than D05 (by far the most durable rubber I've used). For me, the extreme grip of 09c lasts about 10-15 hours, during which time it plays something like boosted H3 with a higher throw. It remains really good for another 20-30 hours, after which my loops start flying off the end of the table and I have to get a new sheet or adjust my strokes. I played K3 for a month, and the top sheet was no more durable than 09c, maybe less. Also, the K3 booster effect wears off quickly (unlike with the 09c sponge which easily outlasts the topsheet).

ok thats just not economical. I never even considered D05 before. ill look into it.

10 hours per week, D09c 6-8 months. D05, 4 months. I haven't play D05 over 2 years after I change my blade. But if you want something last really long and cheap, G1 , DHS 8-80.

 

[iamsancezz]

I wonder if how D09c compares with H3 on durability

Just do the math.

This is like a very basic job interview question.

just get Loki Arthur China or Dragon Grip

and boost?

 

[TensorBackhand]

and boost?

i haven't boosted them yet. I don't think they really need boost, and I don't think Dragon grip really reacts too strongly to boost anyways.

I've been using my dignics 09c since october....i haven't noticed any significant drop off in performance. If i were still using tenergy 19/05....the rubber would be dead by now. i think I can go another few months at least with this rubber.

Funny how switching from Tenergy 05 + 19 to DHS Hurricane NEO 3 + D09C has saved me a lot of money already and improved my game!

It's tempting. My clubmate got a well used 09c sheet and able to just sweep a backspin ball over the table without going down and using his legs to lift it. I tried his bat, brush loop works really well but couldn't figure out how to powerloop it like with my BD

30 hour life time for a D09C? Not sure how you use it, but for me, D09C can at least last several months like 100 hours +. Wipe the rubbers gently with sweat will help clean and maintain the rubbers.

Do u boost H3 neo ?

I do try to take good care of the rubber, but never got to 50 hours with a sheet of 09c. By 40 hours at the most the sweet spot looks worn and is losing its grip. It's not like it suddenly turns into anti, but at that point it's an essentially different and for me a far inferior rubber. 100+ hours of play doesn't compute for me, but of course ymmv. I know a few players who prefer worn out rubber.

I know someone hits consistently on one small spot on the paddle and that actually wears the rubber out pretty quickly.

The other factor is how hard they hit or brush. Loopkills kind of destroy rubbers much faster especially on the FH.

09c loves cover foil

 

[dingyibvs]

I think the fact that the D09c LOOKS really worn very quickly plays into people's perception of it as well. I've also heard some people say that the red sheet doesn't wear as quickly as the black sheet, which IMO is probably just because the red side doesn't show wear as readily as the black side.

 

[SlowPower]

That is your valid opinion.

I personally disagree. Right now, I have LAC, D09c, and Dragon Grip glued on 3 separate blades. I find them extremely comparable. If I'm just being totally honest, I actually prefer LAC as I feel the arc is better.

Just ordered a sheet for 18€ shipped.
Did you boost it?

I haven't boosted it. It doesn't really need booster, but some people may benefit from the booster.

 

[Jslick89]

Do u boost H3 neo ?

Yes..search my posts for what I did when I transitioned to H3 neo. I played 3 weeks without booster, then I did two layers of booster.
I’m going to try another thin layer very soon…
