External Review for Butterfly Dignics 05 on August 8, 2025

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.
