Tensor 45 reviews
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.
I like the Stiga Cybershape using 05 backhand and 09c forehand. This rubber provides deep spin balls and great control. It is less sensitive to spin from the opponent, offering more control than Tenergy 05. I also like Tenergy 05, which is great for backhand strikes with a closed frame.
The 09C forehand rubber is excellent. It produces deep spin balls and provides a trustworthy feel. Blocking is also good. This rubber’s versatility and reliability make it a great choice for players with a good forehand swing.
D09c has a good balance between spin and speed. Blue sponge 40 hardness Hurricane 3 is a bit slow and harder than D09c. If you are a Hurricane 3 user searching for a booster-free alternative sticky rubber, D09c is a good option.
Very good forehand rubber for professional players. It requires all strokes with excellent technique and power, making it unsuitable for beginner and intermediate players. It has a hard sponge and produces high spin but not as much speed, with a high throw angle.
When combined with BTY Viscaria, it offers some forgiveness for minor mistakes. However, for use with an Innerforce type blade, ensure your strokes are perfect beforehand or consider BTY Harimoto Innerforce ZLC or Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC. Other Innerforce blades may not generate sufficient speed for this rubber.
Compared to other BTY rubbers, it has more spin but not as much as DHS Hurricane 3.

I made the switch back to Dignics 09C after switching to Provincial H3 Blue Sponge. If you are tired of boosting like me, this rubber plays pretty darn close. My forehand attacks are on point, and my shots feel safe and confident.
This rubber is very good. Pressing the sponge is quite hard, but it does not feel hard when playing. If you are used to Chinese rubbers, 09c will feel soft.
Compared with Mantra H and Big Dipper 38 using the same blade:
This is the best rubber I have used so far.
I am delighted to share my D09c review. As a USATT 2100 level player with a decade-long experience using D/T rubber, I find D09c exceptional. My strategy often involves backhand openings with strong low spin, followed by a punch at the next ball and two swing loops.
In the world of table tennis rubbers, I compare them to cars with two gears. T/D rubbers offer tremendous speed but limited short ball control, while sticky H3 rubbers provide extreme spin at the expense of speed.
With T/D rubbers, I generate strong spin in my initial open, leading to soft touching blocks from opponents. However, the speed often results in short balls that are difficult to punch. D09c excels in this scenario due to its sticky surface, allowing me to control the ball longer and utilize the spring sponge for optimal speed.
Unlike T/D rubbers that lose their potential due to excessive speed, D09c enables me to fully exploit the sponge’s power, resulting in superior quality. Additionally, its sticky surface enhances short game pushing and serving compared to T/D rubbers.
Therefore, I enthusiastically recommend D09c as the only rubber that offers both gears in one. It is a game-changer for players seeking versatility and control without sacrificing speed.
Just want to say this is a one-try for backhand. For forehand, it’s decent and average. It has almost no spin even on a strong stroke, only power on the backhand. I will be switching to T64 since it has better reviews.
It feels okay and medium tacky but is not spinny enough for backhand loop. I recommend it for forehand for intermediate players. Do not buy it for backhand; otherwise, you will waste your money.
Update: Turns out I was just not used to the rubber yet. It works perfect for me now, with a great balance of spin, speed, and control. The only exception is that I’m not very strong, so I can’t produce enough speed, especially with the high arc. But that should not be a concern for you guys because you are all so strong.
I also might switch to a lighter blade since my rubbers are already heavy. Can someone recommend a lighter inner force blade that works with hard rubbers, please?
Update in the 7th row, 2nd update in the 9th row. I’m leaving the first impressions here to give you an idea of the “struggles” at the beginning.
Using it on Yasaka Ma Lin Soft Carbon. I’ve been using it for a month now and my game is improving rapidly. The price is insane, but I’m not arguing with that.
As for features, I’d say these:
This rubber shines when you use big swings and hit the ball really strong and fast (as opposed to Tenergy, where you get a high amount of spin even with smaller moves). I think D09C is going to be a one-try for many players; it’s good if you already have it, but I’m not going to purchase another one.
Update (2 months in):
I now find it better than Tenergy05. Control is definitely higher, I think even the spin is higher (you can hit insane shots, even from heavy backspin), and the sponge is harder, so if you can hit it harder, you get more speed and power. It’s very difficult to play against. Good for both FH and BH.
2nd update:
I now use it on both sides and I probably won’t change either for a long time. As I mentioned, blocks, serves, pushes (both short and long), service return are all better than other popular high-end rubbers; looping is crazy; drives are consistent. 09C is quite insensitive to the incoming ball; therefore, I would recommend it to low-level players as well.
Dignics’ durability is just great (after the first few trainings, the topsheet starts to look a bit different, but that’s not altering the rubber at all). I’d recommend the rubber to anyone now after 3 months; in the long run, it’s going to step up everyone’s game, I think.

I switched from Tenergy to Dignics, looking for something more than the classic catapult effect of European rubbers. First things first: Dignics 09c is not even remotely tacky; it’s much grippier than Tenergy, but calling it a euro/chinese hybrid rubber is far-fetched.
I would say this: DURING PRACTICE I immediately fell in love with this rubber: counter loops are a breeze and it’s very easy to play attacking shots.
However…I said DURING PRACTICE… The problem is that when you’re playing a game, and the pressure is on, the incredible high arc of Dignics does not give you the confidence you need. Or that I need. It’s easier to return serves and touch around the net compared to Tenergy, but it’s super spin-sensitive and passive blocks are not easy. You need to always be ON IT, playing active shots, or you’re toast.
The rubber definitely teaches you how to play correctly: if you don’t use the right technique, you won’t put it on the table. But $90 is way too much for a learning rubber!
Long story short: after a few months I switched to a proper Chinese on my forehand, and to a softer European on my backhand.
No lies, this rubber is pretty good. I’m not a fan of Dignics and Tenergy due to the hype and price, but this rubber is actually good. It wasn’t hard to adjust off a TG3Prov.
An honest comparison would be an improved Rakza 7 soft in all aspects. I actually want to buy a sheet for BH soon. Hoping I might attain an FZD backhand someday lol.
Hola! Empecé a retomar el tenis de mesa y siempre he sido un jugador de control dentro de la mesa. Ahora veo que el juego va mucho más rápido y el que ataca primero tiene más control (no siempre), pero en general.
Opté por comprar el Dignics 09C para experimentar, ya que estuve consultando y viendo revisiones en YouTube. No es lo que esperaba; encontré una goma pegajosa y un poco difícil de controlar en cuanto a control se refiere.
Los puntos destacables son que tiene buen efecto catapulta y buen giro. Esto dentro de la mesa, pero al momento de jugar fuera de la mesa es el problema: encuentro un poco de variación en los golpes, no es consistente, por lo que es difícil de jugar a distancia. Es buena para efectos en saques.
En general, se me complicó el juego. La goma no es mala, pero no es lo que estaba buscando. Sugiero probar si tienen a alguien con esa goma. Probé un Dignics 05 de un compañero y me pareció una maravilla. Sin duda, la goma interfiere en el juego de cada quien, y deben buscar la que mejor se ajuste.
1400-1500 USATT. Penhold - Two-wing looper.
I’ve been playing with this rubber for about 3 months now on forehand with a Fangbo BX2 blade. The price is ridiculous and unjustified in my humble opinion, but you do get something quite unique. I’ve previously played on boosted Hurricane 3 Commercial, and the transition to this was no problem. Counterloops are like the H3, and opening against backspin has a bit more pace and lands deeper. Keep in mind this means you’ll still need good technique and acceleration to use the full potential. Serves are just as spinny, and blocking is much better than the Hurricane 3. Surprising how spinny this rubber is given its relatively low spin sensitivity to the H3. The weight is slightly lower than an H3 unboosted. For many, though, including myself, I’m sure there are comparable rubbers for a fraction of the price.
Review
One of the best medium-hard semi-tacky rubbers available, Dignics 09C is slightly more expensive than Rakza Z and Sieger PK but offers greater speed, punching power, and arc. Despite its 44 degrees of hardness, it feels less firm and is well-suited for players who prefer hard rubbers. A coach was impressed by the player’s performance using this rubber on a Butterfly Timo Boll CAF blade, requiring minimal adaptation after transitioning from Rakza Z and Sieger. The spin is comparable, but Dignics 09C excels in delivering hard balls and provides greater speed and accuracy due to its higher arc and Spring Sponge X technology. Overall, it is a high-quality product that delivers exceptional performance.
Versatility and Performance
Over a six-month period, Dignics 09C has been used effectively on various blades, including Apolonia, Innerforce ZLC, Harimoto ALC, Long 5, Nittaku Acoustic, and Timo Boll CAF. It performs exceptionally well on carbon fiber blades. Its spin is among the best in the market, especially for players skilled in using hard rubbers. When hit with force, it generates incredible power. Dignics 09C is well-rounded and suitable for serves, looping, counter-looping, and blocks. Players transitioning from softer rubbers like Tenergy 05FX or Tenergy 05 may require some adjustment time but will ultimately be rewarded with its performance.
Conclusion
Good luck to all players on the table!
Blade: Freitas ALC
Yesterday I switched from Rakza Z to Dignics 09C. My previous rubbers have been Xiom Vega Pro, Vega Europe, Tenergy 05FX, and Dignics 80.
Rakza Z is a good rubber. However, 09C is amazing. It serves short or long with great quality, and the rubber is very grippy. Topspins (forehand) require some time to adjust your stroke, but for the first day they are faster and spinier than Yasaka. The short game is also on a high level.
The most interesting thing is that 09C allows you to make a stroke forward during a topspin with a pretty arc, which produces tons of control on the table.
Among many tests of D09C on many blades, the best balanced combination for me is D09C 2.1mm on both sides of the Cornilleau Hinotec OFF+ carbon blade (82g; outer Hinoki + carbon).
This combination offers a huge amount of spin, enough speed (due to the blade), and enough control in blocks/counter (due to the rubber). It allows for aggressive shots close to the table and mid-distance, along with a lot of variations in the game (serve, push, smash, chop, chikita, …). I highly recommend this combination with OFF+ blades.
(This combination leads to rating Speed 9.2, Spin 9.5, and control 9.3. However, the rubber itself is very slow on OFF/OFF- blades, and even slower with 1.9mm. I recommend 2.1mm on OFF+ blades.)
D09C is quite linear: short top spins with huge spin are OK, and with good technique, you can get very fast shots at mid-distance. There is no spring feeling, and it does not feel hard. It can be used for All-round play with many variations in rotation and speed, or for very aggressive play if you engage more power on every shot. I mean it can cover a wide range of play styles, but in 2.1mm. Do not purchase 1.9mm; it is too slow (maybe that is the reason for the overall low speed rate in REVSPIN).
Very good, but the 100 euro cost trades for a spin. I can get that much spin from 1 Nittaku Sieger and 1 Yasaka Rakza Z. It also doesn’t have a lot of gears. The bad durability doesn’t save this, even if I like the rubber.
If you want the most spin in the world right now, go for the above-mentioned rubbers. I kid you not.
Great rubber, perhaps the best Butterfly rubber ever made. It requires active play with complete swings - no lazy half strokes. It is less sensitive to incoming spin than any other Tenergy or Dignics rubber.
Crazy expensive compared to other brands with similar characteristics, like Nittaku Sieger PK50, which I have been playing with for the last year. The 09C does have an edge over the Nittaku, but not by much. It is also a bit harder, a bit faster, and less sensitive to incoming spin. However, with the PK50, it is easier to generate spin from slow, dead balls due to its slightly softer sponge.
Overall, I love the rubber, even if I don’t think it justifies its high price. In the end, remember, it’s not the bow or the arrow, …it’s the Indian! Equipment does not matter if you do not train consistently.
A disappointment.
There are at least five to six better rubbers with the same configuration.
After switching from T05 to D09C, my control was visibly improved. I lost a little speed, but it was barely noticeable. Overall, the D09C gave me a lot of confidence in my serves and attacks on the 3rd ball.
The first thing I noticed when I tried the D09C was the superior control it provided. Not the speed (on distance play) or the huge spin.
Except for the price, the D09C is the ultimate “uber” rubber for my playing style.
Butterfly’s response to boosted Battle 2 or Shining Dragon. It is definitely slower than Dignics 80 and other “normal” rubbers, making it suitable for players accustomed to faster boosted Chinese rubbers who prefer Butterfly.
Spin on serves is comparable to Battle 2. The induced spin is profound and can be misleading.
To preface this review: I am an average table tennis player, playing around 3-5 times a week for 3 hours each. I still train with a coach every week to correct my strokes and improve my gameplay. My forehand (FH) is said to have a very high topspin.

Pros:
(It’s worth noting that these pros may result from my improved strokes. Your results may vary. However, my coach and friends have noticed a significant improvement since I started using this rubber.)
Neutral Concerns:
Cons:
Conclusion:
I believe this rubber is suitable for players who can afford it and want to generate a lot of spin. However, it may not be the best choice for those who focus on smashing or are new to table tennis. While it provides excellent control, its weight can increase the risk of injury if the player’s technique is not sound. I plan to continue using this setup for the foreseeable future.
First impression of d09c was bad. I was really disappointed. It was slow and had a high throw angle. I felt unsafe in my game and wanted to change.
But I gave this rubber a chance and played a while… After the rubber was broken in, the beast was awakened. If you play with full power, the ball will explode on the other side of the table. The feeling is like Tenergy 05 Hard, but the spin is higher.
The short game is good. Topspin on backspin is very good. The serve has not so much spin because of the hard rubber. When you block, you have to close your racket angle.
Downside: After one week, the surface looks worn, like a tacky Chinese rubber. Butterfly has to do something about this point! It costs 80 euros!!!
Overall, it’s a very good weapon for offensive aggressive players who like to attack on the third ball.
UPDATE: After three months, the kick effect is gone! Not worthy for that price!.
It’s an amazing rubber, I must say. Your control and spin will improve a lot if you were using Tennergy 05 before like me. I’m using it in the FH with Timo Boll ALC and even being a hard and fast blade, this combination is killer.
The grip is the best I have ever tried so far, and the sponge is really hard, but somehow it doesn’t feel hard when you hit softly. When you hit hard, you can feel the hardness; however, the curve is really good to make the ball cross the net and touch the table.
Comparing with Tennergy 05, the speed is not that different, but Tennergy has way more catapult, and this is where the control is affected. I assume that is why 09c gives you much better control.
The downside is that you need much more effort to hit the ball for attacking and also need to brush the ball a bit better than you would do with Tennergy because there is little or no help from the sponge for it; however, after a bit of practice, I got used to it and now I feel that is really difficult to play with Tennergy and very easy to play with 09c because of the control.
The price is really high, but it lasts way more than Tennergy, so I think it compensates for the higher price. I am also planning to change my backhand to this rubber as after trying a little bit, I felt a big improvement in my control; however, you need to have a good technique to hit good shots with BH, which is not my strongest skill.
Expensive, but worth the money.
For forehand play, it enhances your ability to attack with accuracy. For serves, it provides a powerful punch, and for returns, it opens up a wide range of possibilities.
However, it requires some time to adjust to its optimal technique.
For real! Play Nittaku Sieger PK 50 INSTEAD, INSANE! It provides far better spin; the strokes are even, and it offers a level of spin that I have never experienced. A backhand loop is a kill in the next coming shot, and the serves are extremely effective. It is not as sensitive to incoming spin, and you get two for the price of one. However, I only bought one because the price was good. It is €44 for the best money can buy. I bought a Yasaka Rakza Z, which was also very good but ended after playing two hours five days a week. The Nittaku seems to be just taken out of the cover for gluing! Extreme anything. This is a whole new level of TT. People who have followed my recommendations have already stepped up one or two levels. Butterfly is also good, but far from the Deutsche Sieger!
Disappointed.
I’m falling in love with this rubber. It has changed my playing style a lot. It’s a very spinny rubber. I use it on the forehand and this rubber is perfect for backhand too.
The only problem is the weight. I’m a penholder and use Stiga Mantra on the backhand. My blade weight is now 195 grams with rubber. I hope Butterfly can make it more lightweight so I can use it for my backhand too.
Update: After 2 months, it became very hard to play. You need to buy a new one to get that “feeling”. This is not worth the money. Just buy Donic M2, you’ll get a similar feeling.
Rubber Review
The rubber is slightly tacky, making it easy to block and execute drop shots. It’s a remarkably spin-oriented rubber. I use this on the forehand of both Timo Boll ALC and Zhang Jike ALC blades.
The rubber behaves differently on these two blades. On the ZJ Alc, it’s more direct, while on the TB Alc, it provides a bit more safety when hitting the ball.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with this rubber, but it’s important to note that I’ve only played with it for 5 hours so far.
Update (2 months of practice)
The price is indeed high, to the point of being almost unbearable. However, the serves are incredibly spinny. Currently, I’m using it on the Zhang Jike blade, as the TB arc is excessively high.
Table Tennis Rubber Review
Hi table tennis lovers,
I’d like to share my experience with playing close to the table with forehand and backhand looping. As a former squad player who participated in the German championship in my youth, I recently returned to the sport after a 12-year break. I currently train 3-4 times a week and consider my technique to be good, with a fast enough arm swing to handle most rubbers.
However, I have recently tried a particular rubber that I believe is not suitable for beginners or even amateurs. While it offers excellent spin and control, especially over the table, its heaviness is a major drawback. After playing with it for two weeks, I noticed a significant impact on my backhand due to the weight of the blade going into the head. I tested it on both the Viscaria and Infinity blades, finding it more enjoyable on the Viscaria.
Ultimately, I believe that investing in a cheaper rubber and a training session with a proper coach is more beneficial in the long run. While this rubber is undoubtedly high-quality, it’s important to remember that professional players may be sponsored or have different playing styles. As such, it’s essential to consider your own level of play before making a purchase.
Got one second hand, nearly new from my coach and I’m loving it. It replaced the T05 on my forehand and the arc is clearly higher on D09C, however you really need to do a bit of extra effort to your stroke for that extra topspin.
I feel that the serves land a bit shorter on the table with it and I also get a bit more control out of it. I will admit, it’s expensive, but you should like it once you give it a go.
FH (Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon, Chinese penhold):
H3:
D09C:
Conclusion:
Over time, I have used many rubbers. My favorite was Tibhar Hybrid K3, but it doesn’t last long. After just 2 months, it becomes more like a regular good Tensor rubber. I ordered several cheap Chinese rubbers, trying to find something similar, but to no avail.
I decided to bite the bullet and ordered the extremely expensive Dignics 09c, as I was told it would last maybe 6-8 months if you take good care of it. I played it for the first time today on my Viscaria. It’s very similar to K3 in all ways. I only used it for 3 hours today so far, but as it stands right now, I can hardly tell a difference. It’s a little heavier. (I play all rubbers in max).
I won’t get into how amazing the spin and control are, as it’s described already plenty in the other reviews. Basically, this is the best rubber I have ever played with. (Same as K3, but lasts longer).
Already after 1 hour, you get used to it. The throw angle is maybe a bit higher than K3. I had to find confidence to play sharper angles. But this also results in insane spin.
I know I’ll be back here to update the review as I can already tell as the weeks go by it will “open more up” and I get more used to it. The same happened with K3. The love was complete at week 4. But then you only got 4 more weeks before you need to change it again. Not with 09c, this will go on much longer according to many people I spoke with.
I am happy about this because honestly, it’s a bit retarded for amateur players to change rubbers too often.
Consistency is Key:
I’ve been playing with this rubber on an OSP Martin Pro Off all-wood blade. With this rubber, there is little room for error, particularly when blocking, looping, or executing fast and long pushes. It takes a while to adjust to its high arc, but once you master it, you may never need to purchase another rubber.
Comparable to Booster H3 Neo:
However, there’s a big caveat: this rubber is not significantly different from Booster H3 Neo. The only notable difference is its high arc, which some players may find undesirable. To explore its potential further, I’m planning to pair it with 729 Blue Alc. If the results are not noticeably different, I’ll regret spending 80 euros on this rubber.
Amazing spin, control, and loop! This rubber provides excellent grip, enabling players to generate powerful spins and precise loops.
Review
Updated (09/23):
I initially hesitated about purchasing this rubber, but I managed to acquire a used one for a more affordable price. My black rubber measures 58 g and is 1.9 mm thick (at 150 x 157 mm).
Despite being stated as requiring an adjustment, I found this rubber relatively easy to master. While it lacks some catapult in the short game, it excels as a “bank” for responding to close-range serves due to its minimal catapult. However, I noticed a deficiency in speed when executing topspins, which may be attributed to my technique. The ball placement is effortless thanks to the exceptional control and grip of this rubber, although it carries a high price tag.
Conclusion:
The sponge hardness is estimated at 54 to 56 degrees, but it feels notably softer (approximately 50 degrees). This rubber performs best on fast blades with moderate hardness.
Addendum:
After using Dignics 09 C for six months on Btfy. Z.JK. Tamca 5000 and Stuor Nobilis ZLC Hinoki, I have become thoroughly convinced of its merits. However, I have recently noticed an increase in balls getting caught on the edge of the net in the short game, which I attribute to my delayed reaction time. I discovered that increasing the sponge thickness from 1.9 to 2.1 mm effectively resolved this issue, enhancing both speed and control. The weight of the black rubber in 2.1 mm is 59 g (on 150 x 157 mm).
Addendum:
The discrepancies in speed ratings between Dignics 64/80 and 09c seem exaggerated. Based on my experience using all three with 1.9 mm sponge, I perceive a minimal difference in speed. I consider Dignics 64 and 80 to be approximately equal in speed.
I’m using this Butterfly rubber on my backhand and I have to say that I love it. It has very good control despite the speed and spin that Dignics 09c generates. My backhand flips have improved a lot thanks to the high arc. I love the feeling that this rubber gives me. When I do a backhand, I feel secure to give all my power in that shot.
I recommend this rubber to people who are more interested in spin and control.
Tensor effect is reduced by a lot after 2 months.
The spin is still really good after using it for 2 months, despite playing on average 4-6 hours weekly.
I am currently using this for backhand on the Lin Gaoyuan ALC blade, as I did not like this rubber on forehand.
I am currently using Battle 2 National Blue Sponge for forehand.
I feel like the arc on this rubber is on the higher side.
Backhand smash is really fast with this rubber. Serve receive and backhand spin are great.
It is very hard to find an alternative to this rubber at the moment. Rakza Z Extra Hard is the only rubber that I could think of.
I tried Sieger PK50, but I did not like it compared to 09c.
You should pair this rubber with a faster blade if you want to take advantage of it.
This rubber is really hard to tame and requires a lot of technique.
Serve receive is not that good with 09c.
It is a good rubber if you play far from the table.
If you try to loop from mid table, you should consider looking at other rubbers.
This rubber is better on the backhand, not forehand.
Do not listen to negative reviews and over-analyzing. Find a used Dignics 09c and you will be amazed on the right blade. It lasts much longer than Tenergy — much longer.
It also spins much more. If you have a proper or Chinese stroke, you will get unreal spin. And the spin lasts for a very long time.
The control is simply superb.
It’s a 44-degree Japanese scale, so it’s around a 54 ESN scale (if I’m remembering correctly). So inner carbon or 7-ply wood is best for it. On the DHS Hurricane Long 2 blade, this is the beast of all beasts that I have ever had. I cannot go back to other rubbers now. It’s excellent on forehand and backhand.
Off-speed rubber that provides good spin, but tends to be quite stiff and has a high rebound speed for close-range play (approximately 8.5-8.6 from a relatively low shooting angle). However, it offers excellent ball grip for medium and long distances. This rubber is considered less effective unless paired with an off-style racket.
Dignics 09c:
The Dignics 09c is my favorite rubber. However, for players rated 1900 or lower, other rubbers may be more suitable, such as the Loki GTX Pro or Yinhe Jupiter 3 Asia. Triple boosting these rubbers will provide a significant advantage.
Technique and Engagement:
The 09c requires a high level of technique and full engagement with every shot. This explains why many players struggle to master it, dismissing it as mere “hype.” Learning to play effectively with this rubber has been challenging for me. However, it has exposed my technical flaws and forced me to improve.
Control and Improvement:
Once proper technique is acquired, the 09c becomes surprisingly easy to control. It highlights areas for improvement, accelerating your learning process.
Player Level Considerations:
It is important for players to be honest about their skill level. Those who criticize the 09c may not have the necessary skills to use it effectively. Conversely, professional players rarely express dissatisfaction with this rubber.
Personally, I’m not a fan of this rubber because I am inexperienced and not very good at utilizing everything this rubber has to offer. I’m a very offensive player, and I feel that this rubber is way too fast for my play style, however, the amount of spin I can get is insane.
My blade is a Radak Attack Plus, and I feel that the rubbers are very unforgiving with this blade. As I am already a fast player, the power I get from both my blade and the Dignics 09c is mental, but not needed. Due to this, I am very inconsistent with this rubber and it has caused me to lose several games. Additionally, my lack of experience has made my time with the Dignics not as enjoyable compared to my time with Yasaka Mark V rubbers (with the same blade).
I would recommend this rubber for people who have a slow-playing style because of the power if the blade is offensive. Though I play for fun, this rubber is too powerful for people who have an underdeveloped or undeveloped technique, as the rubber is very unforgiving if there is a small discrepancy in a player’s technique. The spin is out of this world if you can manage to handle the power, however, I would not recommend this for beginners, amateur, or intermediate players.
Take into account that I went from Yasaka Mark V to Dignics 09c & Evolution MX-P due to the bat being a good price.
