T05H vs D05 ?

Does anyone have experience with t05h/d05 on a defensive blade like defplay? How is chopping, looping, counterlooping?

My clubmate plays with T-05-H on one side and D-05 on the other. The setup is quite heavy but he is a very muscular guy so he doesn't care. I tried it a little and it plays fine in the attack, however, when you need some touch and careful ball handling, it is lacking, especially on T-05-H side. D-05 actually felt quite good and reliable to me but paying $95 for a rubber is something I am not going to do in the nearest future. It is not too tacky, just very grippy. However, I should notice that when he power loops against me, I have much less problem with the spin coming from his Dignics compared to what's coming from T-05-Hard - also the fast loop from T-05-H is indeed very fast and the ball dips considerably lower than with regular T-05 and D-05.

I have used both dignics 05 and Tenergy hard. With my style of play i feel at home with tenergy hard right away am close to the table kind of player. My forehand is short pips or long pips but my backhand is inverted. I had the dignics 05 on the harimoto blade at first. Service is quite spinny and low throw, easy to flick but my problem is the consistency of my flat drive it tends to overshot same with the blocking and punch drive but to give the benefit of the doubt i put the Dignics 05 on my Zhang jike szlc it still the same and i even move it now to joola quatro carbon. I should stay with hard or medium hard kind of rubbers.
