Rubber Technologies

The pursuit of flexibility and bounce

Following an extensive nine-year research program, Spring Sponge X was developed to generate more power. Its response was increased by 14 %, with impact resilience enhanced by 3 % compared to the current Spring Sponge. The result is a big difference in the level of power produced. Spring Sponge X is the key to bringing high performance to Dignics.

Ball bouncing back

Spring Sponge technology increases flexibility of the sponge. Like a coil spring, the Spring Sponge absorbs the incoming energy of the ball and releases it as additional power for the player’s own shot. Rubbers with Spring Sponge technology enable shots with high amounts of spin.

High resistance to abrasion

High Tension technology augments the reaction and spin potential of rubbers by increasing tension inside the sponge and rubber surface.

The more you hit the ball with the rubber, the more its surface gets worn down. The surface condition when the ball is continuously hit in the same area the same number of times can be seen in the following pictures*. The pictures show that although the surface of the current rubber is very worn, the surface of Dignics 05, 64, 80 and Glayzer is much more intact, proving its resilience to abrasion on the sheet’s surface.

Bryce Highspeed is a rubber that enables a high speed and spin performance. It has been developed thanks to Micro Layer, developed by Butterfly. The base of the top sheet is very thin, visible to the naked eye. The rubber compresses and the surface is depressed by the ball on impact; thus enabling a high degree of rotation to be imparted on the ball.

Dignics 05

Dignics guides your game to a higher level. The combination of a new and improved Spring Sponge X technology with an advanced surface sheet and “Code 05” pimples structure provide increased grip with the feeling of literally “holding the ball” on impact. Dignics 05 features additional elasticity, precision and spin performance of the highest order. Recommended for the most modern offensive table tennis with focus on spin – Dignics 05 will raise your game to new heights.

Dignics 64

Spring Sponge X combined with pimples of code no. 64 – which are also used in the popular Tenergy 64 – create a rubber with highly dynamic capabilities. Dignics 64 offers a softer touch and a flat trajectory during topspin resulting in high speed and more pressure for the opponent.

Dignics 80

Dignics 80 offers balanced playing characteristics situated between Dignics 05 and 64. The soft touch helps during passive shots while the all new Spring Sponge X produces spin and precision in offensive situations. Its high resistance to abrasion results in a durable, long-lived rubber that is easy to handle.

Dignics 09C

With a sticky surface, Dignics 09C offers immense friction and grip leading to high spin value and a curved trajectory during topspin if sufficient power is generated to impact the 44° hard Spring Sponge X. The requirement in power, along with the comparatively low speed makes Dignics 09C a choice for players of higher skill range and ambition, looking for the benefits of a sticky rubber.
