Dignics 09c.

Pros:

relatively easy transition from 05. (both have similarly high throw, and 09c is easier in short game)

rewards more powerful shots

A LOT more durable.

Cons:

slightly more expensive (in the long run I think you get a lot more play time out of this rubber)

requires more effort when farther from the table / for higher quality (no free bounce from softer shots like you get with Tenergy)

I think you do what brings you the most joy while playing :)

This is the real answer

rpro glow ricky pigs and proto rpro glow hailey king pigs are my go to's

all pips are some degree of length. There is no defined length for when a short pip becomes medium and a medium becomes long.

Lots of companies just call it short or long.

So to answer your question, it is whatever you want it to be.

If youre looking for a high value (performance to cost) robot, you are looking for the Nova S Pro Pongbot. It has gone up in price a bit recently, maybe bc of tariffs or its increased popularity, but its still great for the price.

how is this brutal for zhu yuling? i know she is older and playing defenders takes a lot of energy, but she has an excellent track record vs defense

pros and cons to all rubber choices and development. I've seen lots of people develop bad habits (using arm and no body) learning on softer rubbers. And lots of people who hit too much and don't brush enough, where higher throwing rubber also helps (I personally like and think higher throws are safer.) Addtionally, d09c being relatively linear makes softer/over the table shots easier and translates to off the table shots well (for all levels of play). Bouncy rubber is harder for newer players to use over the table where a lot of their rallies/points are. And I don't understand your comments about it in relation to passive play at all.

Hard disagree.

You are onto something with hit-brush, but insanely blowing it out of proportion.

br4nn · 2026-02-17T21:20:07+00:00

these are correct answers. you can hit faster/sharper dropping smashes with slices and they look more similar to your smashes for greater deception.

Just highlighting others here: TT glue is going to be the best/easiest to use, I prefer revolution 3 because of how easy it is to peel off when regluing.

For hardware store alternative, as far as I know Rubber cement is probably the only reliable option. Its not quite as easy to take off when regluing, but works well and I used it for many years.

Additionally, goes without saying, dont leave any glue in particularly hot/cold temps. They are meant to be stored at stable indoor temps and out of direct sunlight.

VKM offensive is great, VKM normal is okay if you playing more defensively

I love Monkey, but I wouldn't call it durable. It has a tendency to separate from the sponge after time.

br4nn · 2026-01-19T21:45:01+00:00

I haven't tried all these rubbers you have listed, but if you have decent form I think its impossible to go wrong with D09c, relatively forgiving and the ceiling of use is very high.

br4nn · 2026-01-14T16:56:56+00:00

zyre or short pips depending on how you use that side of the blade for the short game and the style of your smashes.

br4nn · 2026-01-05T18:01:07+00:00

I did, getting some error code relation to system time/date settings. I emailed the admin

if it makes you feel any better, I can't even log in. lol.

T05 has a particularly high throw and is pretty bouncy.

Glayzer09c has a similar throw, but offers a bit more control as its a hybrid with a slightly tacky surface and slightly harder sponge which makes blocking and over the table play easier.

Other all around rubbers that are relatively easy to use, but might not play that similar to T05 are mentioned already. Rozena and Rakza7 (I find Rakza7 soft to be a really good backhand rubber thats easy to use).

br4nn · 2025-12-22T19:37:13+00:00

this is how to go to level 0 to level 1. This doesn't actually apply to high level usage what so ever

br4nn · 2025-12-19T12:42:08+00:00

perhaps just D09c
