C-touch next gen tensor rubbers

Hi! I need some advice, recently I just discovered that the DONIC Bluegrip c2 uses a new technology called “c-touch” developed in Germany by ESN tensor, I’ve already known the concept of an “euro hybrid” rubber but today I looked after the stiga dna dragon grip and it uses “c-touch” tensor technology, being the latest launched in mid 2021 and the c2 in q4-2020 . Does anyone know which other hybrids uses this latest generation “c-touch” tensor technology? It has an special “logo” and couldn’t find any information about that… btw does anyone know if the xiom omega VII china guang uses this technology? 

Maybe we can make a list 

🏓🙌🏻

It's another fancy-futuristic name to draw the attention of potential buyers. Sometimes, cardboards rubbers are plenty of stupid icons to impress you but in the end there's nothing really noticeable between rubbers from one brand to another since all are made in the same factory....

mmm it seems that c-touch tensor are only 55 degree sponges. Bluegrip c2, stiga dna and the most recent jekyll and hyde from xiom, they had the c-touch logo at the bottom right, except the H one which stands for “hybrid touch” but they are 47.5 to 52.5 degree so maybe there’s something customized about that…like the donic bluestar coming in late August, tibhar k3 is 53 degree… for being more accurate c-touch is 2.3mm sponge + thin topsheet with high density small pimple structure combo

C-TOUCH. NO MYSTERY AT ALL.
It feels c-lammy, very grippy topsheet made in c-hina.

Be happy.

Bluegrip C2 is my main rubber, I have also a Bluegrip C1. It's just marketing, don't fall into it. Great rubber for sure, it plays more like a tensor than a chinese rubber. Stickiness is okay, it can lift up the ball for ~0.5 sec, but it is hugely dependant on the ball. With Nittaku 3* and Victas 3*, the ball sticks to the rubber, but with some other balls like DHS, BTY, etc, it doesn't stick at all...

Maybe to compare them  Not at all. I've tried Victas Triple Double Extra, Xiom Tau 2 and Donic Bluegrip C2 is more on the tensor side than the other two. If you want maximum stickiness but don't want to boost, go for Victas Triple Double Extra. C-touch is only a marketing scam. It doesn't make any sense, Donic, Xiom, Andro... they are all made in the same factory: ESN. Therefore, they use the same technology for every brand.

About the kick, I don't know, but TDE is a bit spinnier imo. About the High tension topsheet, I suppose it has one since you don't need to boost it. I've also played with Rasanter R47 before, C2 isn't so different in feeling, it is obviously harder, better spin, but it's still a tensor made by ESN like R47. About the speed, I would say it's easier with R47 to create speed. Top end speed is about the same, maybe more for R47.
