O9C Durability

[jammmail]

For me after about 100 hours there's some slippage with more brushing shots. I clean the topsheet with the Paddle Palace cleaner regularly, a few times per training session or after each match, as the slightly tacky topsheet collects dust/powder easily. I use the Yasaka adhesive rubber cover when not playing. The sponge still feels OK. I'll be changing to a new one soon so I'll have some more comparison.

Thanks @dingyibvs – Im thinking mine are probably approaching 100hrs maybe 80-100 (probably need to keep a better record! )
I am intrested in trying either Stiga Dragon Grip or Rakza Z EH/H on a spare blade - but hoping they are closer to D09c than K3

I haven't used D09c but I can vouch for Dragon Grip. It's an awesome, awesome rubber. It requires a solid stroke foundation for the best performance (i.e. getting the maximum speed, otherwise I can understand why some might think it's "slow", but it isn't at all). It was much, much easier to play with than I expected compared to traditional chinese rubbers. Only thing left to see is how long it lasts.
