Review of Butterfly Dignics 05

Tried RED 2.1 DIGNICS 05 on Sanwei CC Carbon glued with Butterfly Free Check glue.
Pros:+Control is amazing +Almost Tacky +Durable +Amazin for backhand +Easy to lift backspin
Cons:-Somewhat Slow - Too soft for me -I think it's made only for backhand unless you play really spiny loops -Can't hit the low balls with full strength top spin like with T05 HARD or hard Chinese rubbers like Battle 2 and H3 NEO.

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 05

Tested black 2.1 mm on Viscaria blade (2022) on the backhand. T05 is great it has speed, spin, and decent control for the backhand. You must have a very good technique to use it properly, it is not very forgiving Rozena but it's more rewarding when you can handle it. I've tried a lot of rubbers similar to T05 and Gewo Nexxus EL PRO 50 seems to be closest to it but no other rubber has that feeling of catapult like T05, not even Gewo. It's too soft for a modern forehand. Still very good but there are rubbers very similar and better like Gewo Nexxus 53/50 for half the price...

Review of Donic Baracuda Big Slam

It's too soft and slow for "new" plastic balls. Extremely spiny with brush-like strokes. Edges break really fast and it's not very durable at all. But I have never encountered spinnier rubber and I've tried hundreds of rubbers.

Review of Friendship/729 Battle II Provincial

I used rubber in 2.15mm, 40° hardness on DHS Fang Bo B2X Blade. Rubber is great for powerful looping on fh, control is great, when it needs to be slow on low energy shoots it is, when it needs to be fast and spiny on high power strokes it is. Durability is the best out of any rubber I have ever seen, I've been playing with it for about a year and the top sheet is almost new! It can be used unboosted but I prefer 2 layers of Haifu booster on it, I've even tried Baby Oil but then the rubber lost power and became too soft. Compared to H3 Neo it feels softer. Overall it's closer to hybrid rubbers than Chinese Hurricane rubbers. If you can hit hard it will reward you but the arc isn't as linear compared to other traditional Chinese rubbers.

Review of Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 50 Hard

I've tried this rubber on a few different blades, in max thickness, and I will compare it to TENERGY 05 2.1. It feels softer than 50°, in terms of speed it's a little faster than T05, a bit harder, and more direct than T05, spin is slightly lower than T05, control is about the same in my opinion, and durability is also very similar, throw angle is lower than T05. For me, this rubber is more of a forehand rubber and T05 is a backhand rubber (mainly because of the throw angle). The price is almost half of Tenergy 05 so gewo is a brainer if you're on a budget. It also feels better for "new" plastic balls than Tenergy. This is a review of unboosted rubber.
But when you put 2 layers of booster/tuning (or baby oil) it becomes a monster, speed, spin, and control increase substantially and the sponge becomes softer around 1-3°.
