Doubt.. Dignics 05....

[BIGMOMJR]

This season I’ve been using Dignics 05 and it has worked really well for me. I’m a player who uses reversed pips and attacks with a lot of spin on the forehand, playing in an Asian-style approach. However, I’d like to try a rubber that makes it easy to lift heavy spin balls while giving me an extra boost of speed when hitting.

With Dignics 05 I’ve been able to generate a lot of spin, but I was missing that extra bit of speed (it’s easy to lift the ball).

I’m looking for the same characteristics, but with a bit more speed.

What would you recommend?

If You can't get enough speed with Dignics05 You need to train more...

Isn't the D05 a explosive n fast rubber?

maybe consider nuzn 55? according to pingponglab

A few things.
Dignics 05 has a relatively hard sponge and it needs good racket speed to extra it's a speed. When you do this properly, it is not a slow rubber.

But 05 does benefit in terms of speed with outer ALC or Viscaria, as compared to an inner ALC.
Have you considered a different blade?

If you really want a different rubber then have you tried Tenergy?
Its probably the obvious rubber choice for more speed.

Dignics 05 is plenty fast, but you have to reach the speed first. Perhaps you brush too much and need to learn to hit through and make use of the sponge and blade?

D05 + Super Vis = rocketship!

Same opinion. You won't find anything faster than Dignics 05 to your human perception. Pay a coach for 1h and you'll have a lot of hints to improve the speed of your strokes. It will cost less than a new rubber.

To really unlock its ridiculous top-end speed of D05 on the FH, I felt like I had to swing insanely hard, almost like my arm was going to fall off. Only then did I experience its speed.

D05 on the BH was nice. But I didn't like that I had to be cautious of contacting ball perfectly on power shots when I am little late to the ball, which resulted very flat curve, unlike T05.

Hammond Z2, on the Forehand on FZD Alc - I went from D05 (1.9) to Hammond Z2 (2mm), not as spinny but faster and better control.
