Customer review for Butterfly Dignics 09C

External Review for Butterfly Dignics 09C on December 2, 2022

Update on Sept. 25: this rubber is still the most versatile and "easiest to play" high-performance rubber on the market. ... definitely spin resistant and superbly controlled. - even though it generates a lot of rotation itself! My first black one weighed 49 g., with a thickness of 1.9mm (at 150 x 157 mm) and is minimally sticky. The sponge hardness of this rubber is given as 54 to 56 degrees (internal level), but in my opinion it feels significantly softer. (approx. 50 degrees) This rubber feels most comfortable on (- not too hard!) fast blades! What I can't understand is, that it is described everywhere that this rubber requires an adjustment. - of course it has less catapult in the short game, but is otherwise easy to master. In the short game, this rubber is a real bank. Retourning your opponent's short serves (close to the net) is child's play, cause the rubber has little catapult! However, I always lack a little speed in my topspins. ( - which could mean, that my arm stroke is too slow or the the thickness to low! ;-P) Ball placement is essentially very easy as the control and grip are extremely high. After a short time, I unfortunately realized that I was making minor mistakes when playing over the table. - the balls got stuck in the net too often !!! Increasing the sponge thickness to 2.1 mm was the solution. MORE Facts: black rubber in 2,1 mm in orig. pack., 102 g., uncut incl. foil 78 g., cut 48 g. Red rubber in 1.9 mm 45 g cut. - all by 157 x 150 mm !!! Addendum: The differences in the speed ratings in the table between the Dignics 64, 80 and the 09c are definitely too large. I played all three with a 1.9 mm sponge (... on the same blade!) and believe me, the difference is significantly smaller.
