    Unusually for a chopping rubber, both the sponge and the pips are hard. If your blade's top ply is on the stiffer side, this might be a bit harder to use.


    One notable feature is that the surface doesn't slip. That makes it easier than other long pips to control how much spin you take off yourself. I especially liked that pushes don't slip. On the other hand, I think it takes some skill to really cut a heavy chop with it.


    Chops come out with a lower trajectory and don't travel far. If you want a slow, deep chop, you need to brush the bottom of the ball a bit.

    Maybe because it's hard, attacking is also relatively easy with it (when using thin sponge).


    Overall it's a rubber that really shows the user's skill, so I think it's better suited to a somewhat experienced chopper rather than a beginner. It's a long pips rubber with a "manual transmission" feel, so if it clicks with you, it'll really click.

    This rubber is positioned as a budget version of Dignics 09C, but I think it's a rubber that a pretty wide range of players will find easy to use. I mainly used it on my backhand.


    It's a harder rubber, but it doesn't feel as hard as I expected.
    It holds the ball quite a bit, so the short game and returning spin are both easy. My impression is that this suits people who are still developing those skills or who prioritize consistency, more than people who are already good at them.


    While it handles every technique competently, the speed and spin aren't that overwhelming. If speed feels lacking, pair it with one of Butterfly's special-material blades.


    It's light in weight and reasonably priced, so I really want beginners and intermediate players to try it. The shots you hit in practice might feel a bit lacking, but I think this is a rubber for people who want to land shots consistently in matches and care about winning.

    Good design, nice and light, speed that's close to a 7-ply all-wood blade, and a good feel too — this is a flawless product.

    The grip isn't especially thick or thin, but for kids with small hands, I'd recommend the flared version.

    Compared to the beginner-favorite Swat, the trajectory feels a bit more flat and direct. If you're looking to pair it with a rubber, something like Rigan Spin that's easy to get spin on might work well. Since it's lightweight, you don't really notice it even if you put on a slightly heavier rubber, which is nice.

    I've been using this for about half a year now. I think its appeal is a feel that even 5-ply wood users can be happy with, combined with overall high performance.

    It does contain special material, but I don't feel it's all that hard. About the only thing I notice is that flick-type shots are easy to do.

    The spin level is plenty, not much different from a 5-ply wood blade. On top of that, the bounce is even, so you get stable returns.

    There's no one standout point I'd call outstanding, but it simply has very few weaknesses, and I think players of intermediate level, whatever their style, could use it without feeling any discomfort.

    Compared to Butterfly's Innerforce ZLF (discontinued), this one is a bit heavier but harder to push back, and it gives an impression of better power on blocks and drives. The ZLF was probably better in ball speed and maneuverability.

    I think this is a blade that can be recommended to a wide range of players, from those who've played for about a year to those who've recently come back to the sport, and it isn't picky about which rubber you put on it.

    It's ridiculously hard and heavy. On the other hand, if you put it on a lightweight outer-carbon blade, you end up with straight, spinless shots, and it becomes harder to bring out its strengths like tricky spin and sinking drives.


    I think its strengths are the power of your third-ball serve attack, the short game in general, and the amount of variation you get on light drives close to the table. On the flip side, I don't think it suits other techniques, like rapid-fire forehand hits close to the table or topspin rallies from further back.


    I think this is an extremely specialized rubber for players who like to drop their contact point a bit and keep grinding out light drives from close-to-mid distance, players who value stability and have the grit for it. If you're going to use it, I think you'll start to see its true character if you stick with it patiently for about six months. Its lifespan is also among the longest out there.
