External Review for Butterfly Dignics 05 on April 14, 2019

Blade : Cornilleau Hinotec OFF+ Carbon (Hinoki-carbon) 82g - D05 1.9mm black + D05 1.9mm red - Total 174g - D05 1.9mm is not very fast, not very spinny, does not have the best control. But the overall is well balanced. Can play any style. BH is fast and very spinny. On FH, spin/speed are not the very best, but flat smash is a dream and effortless, especially on heavy spin incoming ball ! Easy to play at 2-3 meter away. Good grip for chikita and short pushes. I think it is a good rubber for BH. The durability is better than T05. Throw angle is lower than T05. Not so heavy for a quite hard rubber.
Update: I just confirm that D05 1.9mm is excellent on Hinotec OFF+ carbon and also Amultart, both hinoki-carbon. However 1.9mm is too slow on TB ALC, Darker Esteem (even Hinoki also...), BTY inner force ZLC, Viscaria. For those latest blades, 2.1mm is far better. 2.1mm on Hinotec OFF+ carbon is not bad, but smash is tricky.
Update: speed 8.9 is totally under rated. The sponge thickness is important. For 2.1mm, the speed is closed to 9.2, I feel it faster than D80. I tried it on Hinoki-carbon Donic Ovtcharov Carbospeed (86g), it was really good in term of speed, spin (normal top spin, active counter, spin against choppers). I think D05 2.1 had better control on Viscaria (koto) and TB ALC (koto). Rating a rubber depends strongly on the blade and also the thickness of the rubber. So it is important to specify the blade (+ weight) when rating a rubber.
