Is it a ridge in the rubber, like is it a deformity you can feel when you touch it? Or is it just cosmetic?
Yours might be something else but I had similar looking marks on my rubbers a few mths back that turned out was from the plastic protector sheets I put on when storing the racket - they must have gotten wet or dirty or something and left cosmetic marks on rubber.
They didn't come off with gentle cleaning either (I didn't want to rub hard) but they just wore off after a few weeks of play.......🤷‍♂️

No its not only cosmetic. I feel little whole in those lines. I accidentaly hit yesterday blade to table so i was checking blade if its ok and not broken and maybe i streched rubbers too much when i was control it. Dont have any explenation with this situation. So i think my only solution is take rubbers away from blade,remove old glue and try glue it again. Its new rubbbers, i played them maybe 10-12 hours total

It looks like something has been pushing on the rubber for some time, maybe in a case against a second bat? I would leave it for a couple of days and see if it returns to the original shape.

You probably put 1 paddle on top of another

Yeah its true, on last session i bring my old racket for friend and i was in rush after session so i put both blades to bag without case and i let it like that until morning. So it was rubber to rubber.Ok how i can fix it? I glue off one rubber yesterday evening remove old glue and left secondd rubber on blade. I think after nigh its little bit better but still see some hole. I dont see diff between rubber on blade or glue off rubber. I think i jus need to wait and let rubbers fix alone

Those impressions are usually permanent. I think you may have a really small chance to improve this by using something like spin refresh, or another product used to revitalise the rubber. The chances are small though.

Another creative idea, if the other option is throwing it away:
Get a sticky protection sheet and apply it to the rubber. Make sure it sticks well in the dent. Then apply some kind of suction, like a vacuum cleaner. Start on a low setting and see if you can gently pull the dent out.
None of this will give perfect results, but it might make things playable again.

OK.
I suppose you could try cooling it and heating it, gently so the expansion and contraction might help it find it's original form.
Put into the freezer, then very gentle heat?

So gyus, from all advice best was with freezer. First i started only with fridge and after i heat it up with hair dryer. It helped little bit so after i tried freezer. Same heating with hair dryer. I freezed them maybe 5-7 times. Now its ok rubbers fix alone. Maybe i see small line on black rubber but its only visual. I played two times after this fix. It ok, no issues. Thanks for advice
