The Butterfly Glayzer 09C rubber stands out as an appealing option for players seeking a balance between spin and control. This rubber employs technology akin to that found in the esteemed Dignics 09C, yet it caters specifically to those looking for a more manageable playing experience. With a speed rating of 75, a spin rating of 87, and remarkable control at 9, the Glayzer 09C is especially well-suited for developing players who wish to refine their techniques while retaining the ability to execute effective plays.
In terms of tackiness, the Glayzer scores 4.2, presenting a texture that allows for significant spin generation during serves and topspin shots, albeit slightly less than its more advanced counterparts. Players have noted its softer feel—which contributes to a catapult effect, making the rubber forgiving and responsive during gameplay. Weighing in at a medium 4.5, the Glayzer offers a lightweight profile that enhances maneuverability, essential for fast-paced rallies.
Durability is rated at 7, suggesting that while it is resilient, players may find it wears down relatively faster than harder rubbers under extensive use. Those searching for alternatives might consider rubbers like the Hurricane 3 Neo or Tenergy series, though the Glayzer provides unique characteristics that could suit a variety of styles, particularly when matched with faster blades. Overall, the Butterfly Glayzer 09C incorporates an admirable mix of spin, control, and ease of use, making it a valuable contender in the realm of recreational to semi-professional table tennis.
Have just tried it on the Lin Gaoyuan with 2.1 mm thickness and D80 with 1.9 mm on the other side. Both rackets have one layer Kailin and one layer Falko on both sides. My normal rubbers are Hurricane 3 Nat BS 40 and D05, so I got used to boosting all the new rubbers. I also used D09c for more than a year. I decided to leave a comment because I have a totally different impression compared to most of the comments here.
I don’t understand what you guys are complaining about. It’s a really good rubber, especially for those who have trouble controlling bouncy tensors but don’t have enough footwork, twisting movement, and legs-body-hand synchronization for using typical Chinese tacky rubbers. Firstly, I don’t think D09c is similar to Hurricane 3 Nat in any way. In my opinion, it bears much more resemblance to Friendship Battle II Gold, particularly in terms of feeling and spin trajectory. G09c actually has a higher spin trajectory than both of them, comparable to Hurricane 3, which helps a lot in opening up looping. Yes, it’s not that speedy but has a lot of spin and is absolutely controllable in terms of length unlike that of D09c which tends to go long. Controllability is what allows G09c to shine at forehand close-to-the-table counter-spinning. In this department, it’s much closer to Hurricane 3 than D09c.
It’s a bit bouncy on the table if you just push or try to make a dead ball by tossing the incoming backspin up. However, if you make a sharp swing under that ball, your long push turns into a deadly counter-backspin. And finally, it’s just as good as D80 in blocking, smashing, and flat hitting. So, safe opening up looping, strong backspin long pushing, blocking, smashing, and flat hitting. Do you recognize what kind of playing style we’re talking about? Yeah, it’s actually a typical amateur game style. Additionally, you get reliable close-to-the-table counter-spinning. Just for growing on.
I have had this rubber for two months in 2.1mm thickness.
I tested it for both my forehand and backhand with a Ma Long Extra Offensive Blade, but it’s too slow for my forehand.
However, for my backhand, it’s perfect! Topspin on chop balls is very easy. I can use a lot of force, and it always lands on the table. The same goes for blocking; it always stays on the table.
It’s not the fastest rubber, but it feels very secure.
I recently reglued and stretched it a little bit more, and it gave me the perfect speed, a lot of control, and very low spin sensitivity.
On topspin, I can really feel the rubber’s tackiness gripping the ball. On flat punch, the now-stretched sponge gives me good catapult effect.
This rubber is too slow for backhand play, and not quite hard or powerful enough for forehand shots.
It’s comparable to a softer, slower, and less tacky version of Hurricane 3. In my opinion, the rubber requires some booster; otherwise, it is simply too slow. With booster, it achieves sufficient speed for 90% of typical match shots. However, on the hardest top-end power shots, it falls short of the power output provided by harder rubbers like H3 40 or Dignics 09c.
While not a complete failure, it is far from a resounding success.
