I think the best Butterfly rubber is Tenergy 05. And it will keep on being the best rubber for long time i think...

Sadly, all the reviews are in Japanese. What happened to that one kid that was translating Japanese videos?

I just glued a sheet of D09c and also found the topsheet not sticky at all.
I did see that Japanese youtube review where it could lift the ball for 1 second. I'm guessing it might be due to QC or temp/humidity variations, but I could NOT lift the ball even slightly. The "tackiness" can be felt when doing a ball bounce test like Dan from TTD in his review. Also it can be felt if you are cleaning the rubber using your breath and the palm of your hand-- has a very grippy feel.

After watching Dan's review on TTD, I feel that D09c is just an one layer boosted H3 rubber. Just alot more expensive. TBH, I was hoping for it to be faster than what I saw on the bounce test. However, this is a PROs rubber and they practise alot more intense and more in general than us. I will give this rubber a pass and keep my Dignics 05. In additionally, I believe when its humid the rubber will be VERY bad to play haha.

Funny you mentioned that about bad play with humidity. That's why I stopped playing with Tenergy on the FH -- the play just got awful with high humidity. On the other hand, Dignics has played very well with humidity. I actually expect D09c to play really,really well with humidity. Also, whatever D09c might be, my interpretation of Dan's review from TTD didn't really sound like boosted H3. But I think we need to see more reviews.

I almost feel like D09c gets tackier as time goes on. I’ve only been at home hitting around with it in my living room, but now I can pick a ball up for about one second. However when I first put in on 10 days ago, I couldn’t lift it more than a fraction of a second. I don’t know if there is some tiny bit of oil residue or something that wore off.
But I think it is a very good rubber. I’ve played T05Hard for over a year, and I already like this better. I’ve played unboosted H3 Provincial Blue Sponge for a few months before and the one thing I didn’t like was out of position and flatter shots had no power. D09c seems to fix this. Can’t wait to play an actual match with it.

Someone said in this post best rubber is Tenergy 05, I would say it was! If timo is using 09C on both sides then definitely 09C is currently the best Butterfly rubber! Based on some of the reviews and it being slightly improved T05H in my opinion, dig09C is probably a phenomenal rubber it just that it might take longer time to adjust and truly unleash its playing abilities etc. Just like 05H was different to me from all tenergy series, seems as 09C is different from all the Dignics series. If so many players are switching to it I would say it definitely is a great rubber. As far as looking at butterfly players both Timo & Ovtcharov are playing much better, hey not long ago Ovtcharov took down World #1 FZD using 09C I think that speaks for itself! I will buy it as soon as the Quarantine is over so I can play with it not just look at it :-)

here is a nice comparison video between 09c and D 05
has English Subs I am not a Butterfly guy (only equipment I have ever bought is a sheet of Speedy PO, Bryce, and a VSG-3000 Blade) but, this has me intrigued.... I might have to try a sheet of 09c

Any rubber that is tacky is bad against humid weather IMO. But ofc its best to try it to get the best idea of it.

I wonder if other people feel the same as you? My experience is the opposite: all rubbers lose traction in humid conditions, but tacky rubbers do better than non-tacky rubbers.

Moisture on tacky surfaces reduces the tack of rubbers because it acts like a lubricant on the top sheet. Hence, why I believe tacky rubbers are no good under humid weather. I tried commercial H3 (I have no care about national or provincial because they are all fake except for the ones the pros use) and I felt under humid weathers it just isn't reliable. Additionally, Chinese rubbers are not consistent anyway so IMO they are the worst rubbers under humidity. In regards to D09c, I assume (I haven't tried the rubber yet so I can only make vague assumptions) it will be better than Chinese rubbers under humid conditions because of the consistency of Butterfly products. However, I suppose its all down to personal feeling at the end .

I thought the 09C was shipping April 1.
Anyone receive and use? Can not find a review anywhere.

Dan at Table Tennis Daily posted a preliminary review. The problem is that since all the club around the world are closed, you can't really test it. The most you can do is hit against a robot, which doesn't tell you much about a rubber. I don't expect to see any serious reviews (in English) until clubs open back up again.

I bought a sheet on the 4th of april and received it a few days later. I have only practiced against a robot so I can only give some first impressions:
- the sheet I received is not really tacky. I would call it hybrid. It has not the tackiness of H3neo or Battle 2 but it’s grippier than mx-s or tenergy 05 - It’s a very hard rubber and quite dead on soft contacts but it’s easier to generate speed than traditional chinese rubbers. - It feels like a very spinny rubber but I’ll need to play against a real opponent to verify this.

I tried it for 1 week. It is nothing you played or tried it before. It's name is dignics but does not have anything in common to the dignics series. It is fast very fast not any like Chinese rubber not even like spinart. It is very spinny specially on serves. It is super easy to lift bacspin. Counterlooping is a dream, you will feel yourself a pro just ripping anything that comes your way. Unlike Chinese rubbers it is very high throw that if you loop straight to the net you will have an arc with the ball. Control is bad specially if you play a dead ball or just put your hand without moving your wrist, it just goes down to the net. It is difficult to play with coming from tenergy. you will feel that if your shots that were escaping the net with tenergy would go long off the table with 9C, and balls that are supposed to go to the net just land on the table on the other side. Really a mind cracker if you played tenergy or mxp for a long time.

Hi,
[As reported.]
Among the very helpful observations from Dan at Table Tennis Daily was a fine comparison he made in the written comments. He stated that Tenergy 05 Hard is much closer in playing characteristics and feel to Tenergy 05 than it is to Dignics 09C. The feel and play of Dignics 09C is very distinctive among the three rubbers. Dignics 05 has a tackier topsheet than Tenergy 05. Dignics 09C has a tackier topsheet than Dignics 05. Thanks. |

Thanks. Embracing the assumption that Tenergy 19 will come to market (unlike Tenergy 09C which did not), it does prompt to mind the commitment by Butterfly to extend the Tenergy line in the Shiny New Era of Dignics. With the clear trend of harder forehand sponges in the sport, it was reasonable and intelligent to release Tenergy 05 Hard to provide a Butterfly participant in this trend. Were I have guessed, I would have guessed that Butterfly would not further extend the Tenergy line. The Tenergy line is very rich right now. With the Dignics arena open for expansion, it would be my thought that the major new product energies would be applied there. [Again, assuming Tenergy 19 comes to market] The above discussion only reveals that I do not know Butterfly's strategic thinking. In recognizing the standard retail marketing philosophy of targeting particular consumers with particular tastes, it reveals the Butterfly thought that a significant customer base exists and will exist for the Tenergy line, thus justifying yet another appealing option for them. Thanks.

Tried the 09c for a few days on zjkszlc blade I’m a 2200 level player and played a few matches with it against 2400 level player. Here are my observations:
Not sticky but very grippy. Needs some impact for the ball to move Definitely better spin than d05 or d80 Blocks surprisingly well when used on the backhand Serves better than all current bty rubbers ( except spin art imho) Arc is very similar to t05 Overall very good rubber from bty. I will probably switch to it on both sides Btw, I had boosted d80 on the other side. D80 is faster but has less spin quality. My first loop with d09c gave more problems to my opponent compared to the boosted d80. Edited by kunglao - 04/25/2020 at 12:22pm |

Used it now - 1.9mm on both sides of a Carbonado 245 (which is a bit faster than my usual 145 and 45 blades where I use Tenergy 05 hard) - it definitely releases the ball more slowly than Tenergy 05 Hard. That said, it enables you to hit a wider variety of shots with deceptive spin variation - I can play dummy loops and pushes much more effectively with this. I suspect at some point Ma Long is going to stick this on his backhand. I think a lot of good players are going to switch to this on their forehand because it just enables much better countering. when taking the ball early. I think the big deal here is that the Dignics sponge makes this work really well. I suspect that Tenergy 09C would be faster and you would lose some dwell that the Dignics sponge gives.
I would say that if feels like those less tacky Provincial or National hurricane rubbers but with a tremendous sponge. Maybe a true Chinese tacky rubber lover will not like it, but someone coming from a Tenergy but needing a short game boost will really love it after some practice.

Hi,
There are some subtle yet interesting things here. I think the big deal here is that the Dignics sponge makes this work really well. Isn't it the case that what we understand indicates that the Dignics 09c sponge is different than the Dignics 05 sponge, thus promoting in the above statement the qualification by stating ". . . is that the Dignics 09c sponge makes . . ."? I suspect that Tenergy 09C would be faster and you would lose some dwell that the Dignics sponge gives. The information we had available concerning Tenergy 09c suggested that it was in a earlier product development process than Dignics 09c, yet it was Dignics 09c that was released, not the Tenergy version. This strongly suggests that Tenergy 09c will never be released, perhaps due to the phenomenon mentioned in the statement above. Also as an extrapolation of the above line of thought; if Tenergy 19 does see the light of day, it will play distinctively from how Tenergy 09c did. Thanks.

I'm contrasting Dignics and Tenergy - while the Tenergy 05 Hard sponge is harder than the Tenergy 05, it is still a Tenergy sponge. Same with the Dignics 05 and Dignics 09C. The thing is that even with Dignics 05, when I tested it, I felt I had a speed issue - it is almost as if the ball wants to sink into your rubber even when you crash it really hard and you never got pure speed and power - you always got something that was controlled and spin oriented. For a harder sponged tacky rubber, this behavior is more logical as your spin/power threshold is higher. So with a Dignics sponge, you don't need as much tack to get a similar response to what you desire in a tacky rubber. Hope that makes sense.

If you are used to playing with Hurricane 3, Dignics 05 is quite fast in comparison. I'm currently playing Dignics 05 Backhand and boostedH3 Provincial on the forehand. The difference is quite a lot. If you use h3 technique with Dignics on your forehand, its honestly a monster with loads of power. Im imagining D09c to be a beast. However, being jobless, I'm not even going to consider it. Rakza Z however, is in my budget. I wonder how it compares?

IMHO, from my limited experience (7 months and 2 blades), while looping, D05 feels more powerful when you use a harder blade that promotes spin generation by penetration of ball into sponge (like TB-ALC) than a softer blade that promotes more brushing (like HL5). I am going to try D09C / D05 combo on something a bit harder than TBALC. This is D09C reviewed by a high level H3 user. They mention in the notes below the video that H3 BS Provincial 41(!, presumably boosted) is faster than D09C. |
