Customer review for Butterfly Dignics 05

Review by quinndavis (Verified Customer) for Butterfly Dignics 05 on January 8, 2022

This is possibly the best rubber I’ve ever used. I put this rubber on the backhand of my Lin Gaoyuan ALC and instantly fell in love with it. I am very used to Tenergy 05 on the backhand of my Timo Boll ALC and initially this felt very similar and quite easy to adjust to. However after a few weeks of playing this rubber there are some noticeable differences that really make this rubber stand out. Firstly, it’s the grip and dwell time. Dignics 05 really grabs the ball superbly well from literally any position. This makes opening up extremely easy. With Tenergy 05 you really need to be precise and have a lot of upward motion. With Dignics 05 it’s much easier to do. Another difference is the speed. Comparing the two rubbers directly, Dignics 05 is slightly slower than Tenergy 05 but it produces more spin and has much more control. The added dwell and control really gives you the confidence to rip into the ball and attack with power. Flicks are incredible with this rubber and touch shots are also an improvement to Tenergy. Counter topspins are where this rubber really shines. With very little effort, you can counterspin with quality and instantly take control of the rally. This rubber is also fantastic at blocking similarly to Tenergy 05. Dignics 05 pairs extremely well with outer Carbon blades because it gives you the dwell and safety you need for your backhand stroke while not compromising on speed. The price is the only downside to this rubber. If you don’t want to spend this sort of money on a sheet of rubber, I highly suggest Nittaku Fastarc G-1, or DHS Hurricane 3 37 (Boosted) as a cheaper alternative. However, I do think that Dignics 05 sits above these rubbers by a solid margin and fits my style almost perfectly. I have seen my game improve noticeable since I started using this rubber and for the enjoyment I get out of playing it makes it worth the price.
