I switched from Tenergy 05 looking for more hardness and power. I also tried Dignics 05 and 09C, which let me hit heavier balls than 80, but I gave up on them because the connecting shots were too hard to control. This 80, on the other hand, has a slightly flatter trajectory but a feel close to Tenergy 05 and good stability. The "automatic" feeling is reduced, but if you swing through properly, both power and spin exceed Tenergy 05. The connecting shots are also softer and easier than with the other Dignics rubbers, so it works well on both forehand and backhand. Rather than dropping your contact point and swinging low to high, you really feel how great this rubber is when you take it at the top of the bounce or early with a forward swing. Even against heavy backspin, if you hit through it firmly, you won't lose to the spin and can punch right through easily. If I had to list drawbacks, it would be that the short game flies a bit too much, loop drives against backspin are difficult, and straight drives tend to go long - about three points - but none of that is a problem once you get used to it. Compared to Tenergy 05 it's harder to use overall, but it also lasts longer than Tenergy, and while the other Dignics rubbers are for advanced players, this 80 is easy to use even at an intermediate level. I'd highly recommend it to players who want both stability and power.

Being an outer blade, this thing really flies. For how much it flies, it still gets good spin, and the feel on contact isn't as hard as carbon usually is, making it an easy blade to use.
In practice I could hit really satisfying shots, but in tense match situations it flew too much and I'd end up with block misses and receive misses, so I ended up switching to an inner blade.
That's simply an issue with my own skill level, though, so if a skilled player who wants speed uses it, I think it'll be the perfect partner.
And here's an unexpected use for it - as a test, I put on some rubber made for large ball and entered a large-ball tournament with it, and the spin, speed, and control were all just right. I got results right away, and since then it's become my main blade for large ball. It's actually a great pick for people who play large ball too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

Needless to say, this is the monster rubber that conquered the world (though the sponge is different from the pro version).
I admired it too and gave it a shot, but I gave up. With that in mind, here's my review.
First, tacky rubbers have an image of generating spin, but the accurate way to put it is: it's a rubber that lets someone who can handle it generate tremendous spin. Not everyone can immediately put insane spin on the ball. And the nasty spin and variation on drives — where you open the racket face, sink the ball in, and brush it — won't come out unless you've properly mastered that tacky-hitting technique; otherwise it just turns into a dead, spinless ball.
The short game and countering are very easy, thanks to how hard the rubber is.
As for why I gave up: if you hit every single ball at full power, you can definitely produce shots that surpass Tenergy, but for a rally-style player like me, you need to hit in quick succession, and I judged that I didn't have the stamina or muscle strength to keep that up. There's also the downside that shots you're forced to scramble to hit, like balls to the middle, almost always end up as dead, spinless balls. It's also weak against humidity.
Given all that, I think if someone who can actually use it uses it, it's a one-of-a-kind, top-tier rubber, but unlike Tenergy, it doesn't generate spin automatically, so it's a genuinely difficult rubber that never lets you take it easy.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I've finally found the best rubber for me.
I'd been using Dignics 09C and was mostly satisfied with it, but I felt it was too hard at crucial moments, and that was the one thing that worried me.
I kept going through my days thinking, "I wish there were an FX version of Dignics."
By the way, I tried the Glayzer, but the quality of the ball dropped, so that didn't work out.
I also tried the New Zone 55, but it was too hard and didn't work either.
So this time I tried the 50, and it's softer than Dignics 09C, exactly the hardness I was looking for.
As for performance, the speed is overwhelmingly faster than Dignics 09C, and the spin is on another level compared to other speed-oriented rubbers — about on par with Dignics 09C. The trajectory is lower than Dignics 09C, giving it a more aggressive flight path.
And since there's a faint tackiness to it, it settles nicely over the table too. Serves spin well too.
What I especially liked is that hitting against backspin is incredibly easy. As long as you hit through the ball firmly, everything goes in.
The only remaining question is whether it'll last long, and if it does I plan to keep using it. The price is pretty steep, but it's the best partner with performance to match.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It was sold out everywhere I looked, so I'm writing this review now that I've finally managed to get one. In a word, it's an amazing blade, and I plan to make it my main one going forward.
Just like advertised, this blade has a wide sweet spot, so even when your contact point is off or your form gets broken, you can still easily hit a satisfying, powerful shot. Thanks to that, it really shows its strength in rally exchanges.
On top of that, the short game and receives are incredibly easy to do. Chiquitas, flicks, and sliding shots all feel several times easier than usual. It's almost an illusion that I've gotten better — really it's the blade doing the work, lol.
The drawbacks are that the frame gets hit a bit more often now, the serve spin takes some getting used to, and even though it's an inner blade, it bounces quite a lot, so control is a little tricky. But I think these are drawbacks you can fully cover with practice.
Lastly, as proven by a world No. 2's results, I think this will become everyone's best partner on the table.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard
