Personally, I think this is one of the best backhand rubbers. It’s fast, spinny, and it has good control. You can perform all technical elements with it.

It’s a little faster than Tenergy and Rozena, but I don’t feel any difference between 09c and 05.

I’ve tried Dignics 09C on my forehand. This 09C is from my friend; it is already used and cut from Viscaria ALC. Its tackiness is about 70%. I play like Tenrgy 05 Hard without tackiness. My spin drastically improves with this rubber, my precise shots, and especially my CONFIDENCE. I will definitely buy a brand-new one for my forehand. It is a pricey rubber but it gives me confidence every time I play.

Amazing rubber! Blade: Viscaria, FH: D09C, BH: D05, it’s a deadly combo for sure. Previously using Ma Lin Carbon, FH: Hybrid K3, BH: T05.

D09C looks like a tuned Hybrid K3, also a little bit harder. Speed is good, spin is amazing, and control is reasonable too. With proper technique D09C is deadly, I feel that sometimes I can’t activate the rubber enough (due to my technique) but higher-level players will definitely take advantage of it.

About the price, it’s too expensive IMHO, I’d first use a Hybrid K3 for a while (it’s cheaper and very similar) and then I’d switch to D09C. Overall, really good rubber, I hope it lasts long.
