When moving from Tenergy 05 to Dignics, most people go for Dignics 05 or 09C, but unless you're a hard hitter with strong impact, the sponge and sheet hardness feel off, and it's hard to really feel what's good about Dignics...
Then I happened to try Dignics 80, and it surprised me...My impression is that it feels closest to Tenergy 05, like a Tenergy 05 with more power, and it's now the ace rubber on my forehand.
It draws a proper arc, closer to Tenergy 05's "automatic feel" of easily drawing an arc,
and I wouldn't really call Dignics 80 an evolution of Tenergy 80 either.Personally, my sense is:
Dignics 80 is an evolution of Tenergy 05,
Dignics 05 is an evolution of Tenergy 05 Hard.If net misses rather than long misses are your issue with Dignics 05 or 09C, Dignics 80 is hands-down the one I'd recommend.

I normally use the Viscaria, but after about six months without practice due to COVID, I picked it up and thought "wait, was it always this wild???"
So I dug out my Innerforce Layer ZLC, which had been sitting unused for a while, and thought "wow, this is so easy to use!!!" The short game doesn't scatter, smashing feels great, and on topspin drives the ball grips into the rubber and sinks in nicely, letting you put strong spin on it. It's really the best of both worlds between a pure wood blade and an outer-carbon blade. I don't notice much difference from the ALC in outer versions, but with the inner version the ZLC has more of a burst of speed on hard shots. I guess that's what the price difference is for. Outer carbon blades also feel great and exhilarating in practice, but once it comes to an actual match — especially against an opponent with an unusual style (a chopper or long pips) — you need a racket with good control, and this easy-to-use blade is truly a "god blade."Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

When people say this blade feels hard, they're probably talking about the effect of the hard top layer, and I also felt it was a bit hard at first, but after using it as a secondary blade for about a month, I stopped feeling any hardness at all - if anything, the ball-holding quality you'd expect from a 5-ply blade really shines through, and at the same time, the top layer kicks in for things like smashes and absorbing shots on blocks, giving it just the right amount of snap. It's turned into a real all-around top performer of a blade. Swedish-made blades also vary a lot between individual units, but my 90g unit is a huge favorite of mine. The flat grip will probably split opinion, but for someone like me who used to sand down the corners of angular grips every time, it's the best fit. Coming back to a blade like this after using carbon blades, the drive really grabs the ball with a satisfying snap - it feels great.

No other rubber can beat Tenergy 05. Because of that, I can't even write a fair review of other makers' rubbers anymore — I end up only being able to list their downsides.
It's easy to get topspin going in a nice arc, and it clears the net and lands in your opponent's court more easily than any other rubber. There are plenty of other rubbers that make it easy to hit aggressive topspin drives, but their arcs tend to be flatter, which leads to more net mistakes than with the 05. That's why I can't let this one go.
Its only real weakness is that the topsheet wears out easily. The delicate part is that the edges of the rubber get chewed up and ragged before you know it.
People often say Tenergy's lifespan is short, but I think that's just because the "peak period" you can't get from any other rubber is short — even after heavy use, it still holds up at a higher level than other rubbers.
Dignics has come out too, but I don't feel any need to try a rubber that's even more expensive than Tenergy. Though if Dignics "FX," with its slightly softened sponge, ever comes out, I'd like to give that a try...Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I'd used high-performance, high-bounce rubbers like Dignics and Tenergy, and while I loved the exhilarating feel of them in practice, in actual matches the ball wouldn't stay on the table, or I'd get overpowered by my opponent's spin... that's where this Glayzer 09C comes in. That said, while tension rubbers work with pretty much any blade, this slightly tacky rubber does better when you rely a bit on the blade's own rebound to bring up the speed. It really suits stiffer plywood or ZLC-type blades much more than softer plywood or soft carbon ALC. The short game is easy, and serves really bite. Durability also seems quite good for a tacky rubber, and the value for money is great too. It doesn't feel as stiff as Dignics 09C — this is truly a tacky tension rubber.
