I'm currently using the red max-thickness version on my backhand.
I used to run Tenergy 80 and decided to make a bold switch, but this turned out to be a completely different rubber rather than an upgrade — it makes more sense to think of it as an evolved version of the 05.The sponge is on the firmer side, but the way the ball sinks into it is excellent as expected. That said, the topsheet is very strong (hard), so Tenergy actually grips the ball more, and the feel and sound are more satisfying with Tenergy. Still, just as Tamasu heavily advertises, the arc is high and the spin is really strong — probably because of how strong the topsheet is. I don't feel like I lose out even against topspin. As long as your timing isn't off, whether hitting forward or back, the ball won't catch the net. But if you can't sink the ball into the sponge properly, you get a flat, fast ball with no spin. The "automatic" feel seems to have dropped a bit compared to Tenergy.
Blocks also come off high, so it's easy to go into counters too.
It doesn't fly off wildly on light hits, so you can manage okay over the table too.
Honestly, I didn't have the skill to bring out its full spec on the backhand. I had a better impression of it on the forehand. But since its durability is worth about two rubbers, I'm thinking an FX version for the backhand might work — somewhere around 36 or 37 hardness.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I borrowed this from a strong player near me and got to try it out.
My first impression was that it flies far and has a high arc. Overall, it's just on a different level compared to run-of-the-mill rubbers.
I really felt "this is Butterfly for you." It combines spin and speed so well that it's become a staple rubber at national tournaments.
That said, one downside is that control is tough even for advanced players.
Aside from that, I think it's a god-tier rubber that lets you hit high-level shots in every category.
If they ever release an FX version, maybe even I could use it, lol.
If a middle schooler is using this, you'd think "oh, this kid's advanced."
In high school, you'd think "oh, this guy's pretty strong, huh?"
It feels like a rubber that's still way out of reach for intermediate players and beginners.
Put another way, if you run into someone using this rubber, you might just think "game over," lol.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I normally use German rubbers, so please keep in mind this review is written from that perspective.
Whenever I've test-hit other rubbers in the Tenergy line, I always came away with the impression that they were too soft, dropped the ball, made it hard to lift the ball, and were weak against backspin. But this rubber felt like it could appeal to just about everyone — even as someone used to German rubbers, I thought "this Tenergy is actually usable" for the first time.
Of course, since I'm more used to German rubbers, I still get more spin and speed with those, but this one felt usable enough once you get used to it.
So if you're thinking about switching from a German rubber to a Japanese one, it might be worth trying this rubber as a stepping stone first.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I was using this on my backhand, but the feel was so good that I tried it on my forehand too — maybe going 80 on both sides isn't a bad idea... (lol)
Out of the whole Dignics series, this is the most stable rubber, so mishits drop way down.
If you want to factor in all-out attacking play, go with the 05, but for all-around use, the 80 is definitely the right choice.
It's been a while since I found such a versatile rubber. (o^-^o)All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I have this mounted on the reverse side.
It doesn't really fly with a high arc.
Blocking is especially easy! I'm surprised I can do topspin rallies this well even on the backhand.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I used to use Dignics 05, but with my level of skill, if I made too much contact it would overshoot, and there were a lot of times the ball would bounce off before really gripping the rubber and slam straight into the net, which was frustrating.
Looking at the spec sheet, the Dignics 80 seems to trade some spin from the 05 for more speed.
And indeed, it does bounce a bit more than the 05.
That said, because of how the pimples on the topsheet are arranged, it feels a bit softer than the 05.
Maybe that's why I can control the ball firmly — even though it bounces more than the 05, it's easier to keep shots short and controlled.
The 05 probably has the edge in maximum spin and potential ceiling, but for my level, overall, the 80 scores higher.
The feel and flight are close to Tenergy 05, but the arc is a bit lower. Because the arc is lower, the ball reaches the table faster, so it feels considerably faster in practice.
It's a wonderful rubber that strikes a great balance between ease of use and power.

I borrowed a friend's racket to try it out.
The ball just flies.
Even with a little bit of power, it naturally lands deep on the table.
If you really sink the ball into the sponge, you get an insane drive.
That said, it's hard to handle, and for a casual player like me,
I just couldn't get the hang of it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
