Hi , has dignics been commercially released yet:https://shop.butterflyonline.com/dignics-05-dig05p
Í think that at this price Dignics is aimed for sponsored and for rich enough players only.
And here are two main questions:
- is it really a fantastic rubber worth the price
- how many of the really good, but not sponsored players will be able to afford it
And an assumption - if its really worth and fantastic, it will widen the gap between the players who can afford it and those who can't. If its not so fantastic it will be placed in the pretenders stuff group like JM and ZJK Super ZLC, aimed for lower level, but rich enough players.
reposting the youtube video which was posted by upsidedowncarl a week ago and I just happened to bump into it a couple of minutes ago. Maybe somebody didn't see it, so it's worth your time. It's hilarious and suits the to the topic:
I think Btfly is just releasing D05 for now or maybe they won't release the other ones at all. There's also D64 and just plain Dignics on the LARC, neither of which have been released. It could be that just like how T05 was way more popular than the rest D05 will be the same so it won't make much sense economically to release the others.Hey! Wait just a minute! Where is Dignics 80 available? Jun's got it.

100USD? WTF
"- is it really a fantastic rubber worth the price" -didn't try it, not planning to buy them, but I am pretty sure -no ....
because it won't widen the gap between players who can afford and can't, because the gap in essence depends on the skills, not on the rubbers... so it will definitely be popular in "pretenders" group. I personally know quite a bunch of such players. They buy rackets if there is super turbo written on them, but can't keep the ball on the table
Yeah, there is only one guy like this in our club. He is around 60, plays with JM Super ZLC, he is visiting the club once per month and always plays with a coach only. He is changing his T05 on every 3 months, everytime carrying a new bottle of BTY glue. After every third rally /2-3 balls usually/ he is cleaning the rubbers with something special, don't know what exactly. I'm pretty shure he will be the only one to come with the Dignics in the club.
cleaning after every third rally takes it to a completely new level
