    I've used this on both forehand and backhand, but I'd especially recommend it for the backhand.
    The reason is that it's not that hard, so it's easy to sink the ball in even on the backhand, and even someone with mediocre backhand technique like me can handle it and still produce decent shots, with fewer mistakes too.
    On the forehand you can generate your own power, so there are plenty of rubber options, but for the backhand, where you want to produce decent shots, I felt this was one of the few real candidates.
    Put another way, I think it offers irreplaceable performance on the backhand.
    I myself couldn't settle on a backhand rubber and tried a bunch before finally landing on this Dignics 09c.
    It's classified as a "tacky tension" rubber, but it leans more toward tension than tack.
    Compared to Tenergy, the automatic spin generation is a bit weaker, but the maximum amount of spin you can produce is higher with Dignics 09c. (It doesn't have that "auto" feel, so I felt it was a completely different animal from Tenergy.)
    In other words, you can use that range from knuckleball-like shots to heavily cut spin to draw mistakes out of your opponent, and I've actually beaten higher-ranked players in matches with it.
    Honestly, I'm convinced that's down to Dignics 09c rather than my own skill.
    It's pricey, but it definitely delivers more performance than the price tag suggests, and I think it's absolutely worth trying at least once.

    This is my review of Provincial Hurricane NEO3 blue sponge, 2.15mm, 40 degrees.
    The spin performance is amazing in every situation.
    Over the table it stays compact and controlled, just like you'd expect from a tacky rubber, and when you swing through it you still get a decent amount of bounce and unpredictability for a tacky rubber — it really is a rubber that gives you the best of both worlds.
    When you swing through it properly, you get a heavy ball with a lot of movement on it, so I'd recommend using it on the forehand.
    Also, bringing out the best of this rubber takes power, so muscle strength and core stability are essential.
    It's easy to handle for a tacky rubber, so I can confidently recommend it to tension-rubber users who want to try tacky rubber for the first time.
    For blades, I tried it with DHS's own Hurricane Long 5 and a Butterfly outer-carbon ALC blade, and both matched it wonderfully.
    By the way, if you use it on the forehand side of a Hurricane Long 5, I'd recommend also putting a tacky rubber on the backhand (something like NEO3 blue sponge 37 degrees).
    When I had a tension rubber on the backhand, even with the exact same forehand setup, the ball left the racket too quickly for me and I couldn't bring out its full performance.
    That was the first time I experienced how much the rubber on the side you're not hitting with can change the feel of the rubber you are hitting with.
