I have used D05 2.1mm on my bh for 2 months, on an Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC, so I will review strictly for the bh side. This is the first time where I've felt that it is too much for my level. On bh I've used so far Rakza7soft, RakzaX, Fast-arc G1, J&H Z52.5 and now I have recently changed to T19. D05 rubber has unlimited power but it is very hard to maximize it's potential. The speed is somewhat subjective because of its linearity. Its base speed is lower than a Tenergy, Hammond Z2 or J&H Z52.2 for example, but it can reach higher speeds with enough power and excellent technique. The grip is impeccable. There is zero slippage of the ball and the amount of spin that you can generate is comparable to a hybrid rubber. It is the grippiest non sticky rubber that I have ever tried. The trajectory is long and direct with a medium, even medium-low arc. The combination of speed, spin and power is unmatched. However, all of this comes at a cost(and I am not talking about the price). It is very demanding and unforgiving. Because of it's extreme grip you need to be very aware of the angle of your bat on every type of shot and very precise, otherwise you will make a lot of unforced errors. If you perform a loop with an open bat the ball will literally fly up and way, way over the table. If you don't put enough power or don't have good acceleration the ball will go straight into the net because the topsheet and the rubber are very hard to engage. In my opinion this rubber is for elite and pro offensive players with a strong bh. If you have perfect timing and technique, then this is the rubber for you. I will not downgrade it due to my lack of skill, but I will give it an 8 for control since I've tried other hard rubbers that felt more forgiving and easier to play with. Hopefully, I will reach the level where I will feel comfortable using it on my bh.

Best rubber for me. fast. good control. spinny.
I use it now on both sides for a long time.
I use it now on both sides for a long time.
bought this for the hype that some top pros are using it for their BH, so I'm using it on my BH and like it. Thought it would break/crack easily if bumped on the table, but it is durable enough where I feel I can make it last a long time and get my money out of it. Bought a couple more for future use as it's now my permanent BH rubber.
This is a great rubber. The speed is good but not too mutch and the control is very nice, especially for counter topspins which i think is the main strength of this rubber. I think that it fits really nice on the backhand side and fits good with a reasonably fast blade because the rubber has good control and feedback. I used to have this on my JO Waldner Gold Edition. The price is high but the quality is even higher. Its a bit easier to use than tenergy 05.
Using on Dynasty Carbon BH (cpen). Flicks and opening loop is so easy. Block is hard because D05 is very explosive, need to angle racket down otherwise it will go over the table. Very good feeling. Topsheet starts chipping off after ~2 weeks of use, with and without side tape.
