This is one of Butterfly's ultra high-end blades.
As a comparison, both set up with Dignics 80 on both sides, versus the Jun Mizutani ZLC:
- The feel is harder than the Jun Mizutani ZLC (ZLC from here on). On hard hits, it feels close to a plain wood paddle, which personally I found pleasant.- Compared to the ZLC, serves and the short game are harder to control, and you need to practice not to overshoot.
- Backhand blocking to keep the rally going was quite a bit easier than with the ZLC.
- In topspin rallies, I don't feel like I can lose. The backhand is also more stable, so you can trade shots much more comfortably than with the ZLC.
- The blade itself releases the ball quickly, and since I was using Dignics 64, you can more or less ignore weak incoming spin. On the other hand, strong pushes and similar shots are difficult, so I felt it's a bit less versatile than the ZLC.
That's the simple comparison.
I felt this is a blade packed with everything a player without much muscle strength needs to beat a stronger opponent.
If you can master it, it's a gem on a level where nothing beats it.
If you're interested, I'd recommend buying one early and putting in a lot of practice with it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Hard

I put this on both sides of a Jun Mizutani Super ZLC and used it.
The thickness is UltraMax.
To sum it up in one line,"Tenergy 09C FX"
is what it was. Ha.
It had a softer hardness than regular Tenergy, slight tackiness, and a feel like hitting a spring sponge.I've also hit with C53 and C48, but this one feels like a completely different animal from those two.
Those two are rubbers built to finish the point in one shot, whereas C45 is a rubber that wins through changes of pace within a rally.There wasn't a single technique that felt like a struggle, and I barely saw overhits or net misses even on hard shots.
It varies by person, but if you're using C45, I think a fairly hard outer ply (ZLC or something close to it in hardness) will bring out more power and give you more stability.
For thickness, UltraMax should be fine for anyone at an intermediate level or above.
I haven't tried the 2.0, but unless you're really confident in your power, I'd worry about the ball sinking in too much and dropping off.
When I can't decide on equipment, this is the rubber I can confidently say to just put on both sides - it was that close to perfect.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I used this on the forehand of an Acoustic Carbon.
Going in, most of the buzz was things like "really hard," "for advanced players," and "amazing if you can handle it," so I bought it basically ready to throw the money away.
But once I actually used it, I found a level of settling onto the table I'd never experienced before, spin beyond what I imagined, and overwhelming ease of use.
I've used various rubbers from the Dignics and Tenergy lines, but this one gives me the fewest net misses and overshoots, letting me swing all-out without worrying about my touch.
People often describe rubbers as having an "auto" feel, but this one had an "auto" feel on the level of "AI-equipped."
I also tried flipping it to use on the backhand, but I felt it had trouble with control when things got cramped, so personally the forehand suited me better.
I'd especially recommend this for anyone who lacks confidence driving against backspin or chopping.
As for the blade to pair it with, if you're confident in your power, go for wood or an inner-type blade; if you're not, a springy outer-type blade would be better.

I mounted it on a hard outer-ply SZLC blade and tried it out.
My overall impression was that it's like the old "Chuck + Spinmax" combo, so to speak.
Above all, the feel and grip on the ball are great, and it gives you a real sense of security that the ball will land on the table no matter what.
The feel is especially top-notch when you hit hard.If I had to name a downside, it's that this pleasant feeling can make you a bit greedy and go for too much. (totally my own fault lol)
With a hardness of 48 degrees and a weight of roughly 50g, it's a slightly heavy, slightly hard rubber, so it does require some arm strength.
I don't think it's a rubber for beginners at the very least, so I'd recommend it to players who already have a solid foundation.
Comparing it to Tenergy 05,- Tenergy 05 is softer and lighter
- Tenergy 05 is easier to handle (C48 settles onto the table more easily)
- Since it's a slightly tacky rubber, you can tone down the opponent's spin a bit before hitting your own shot (Tenergy 05 is quite sensitive to the opponent's spin)That's how it felt to me.
This rubber makes table tennis fun, so if you're on the fence, definitely give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Unlike the Tenergy series, the Dignics series really tests a player's skill, but out of the whole lineup, this one had the handling feel closest to Tenergy.
Especially on the backhand, even a fairly loose swing tends to land on the table.
Being light and soft, it's also a rubber I can recommend for women and junior players.
