Butterfly Dignics 80

Very good looping and brushing rubber. Not for hitters and blockers. Found it very ineffective for blocking with pace or redirecting and is a bit sensitive to spin. However, really good for opening, 4-5 meters off table looping and countering and pushing. I found it’s hard to be defensive and aggressive when on the defense or get back into the rally effectively. Overall a really good rubber who continues with pressure, if you find it hard to keep pushing and spinning, it can be a bit ineffective a detriment. Spinny and fast tho.

Dignics 80 is really fast if compare it to dign05 and 09c. Medium to low throw angle. Kinda need to adjust after 05 and 09c but can be used really dangerous for the opponents. I’m using it on 90 grams apolonia on the backhand side in 2.1 thickness. I was not impressed with first shots, it lack some power and energy on the ball vs dign 05 and 09c, its is rubber with softer feeling and bigger catapult. But after an 30-40 min of adjusting i was able to produce really good spiny and fast shots. Gonna practice my serving today, will see how it works for backhand types of it. Actually for serving it has a lot of spin, it really surprised me. Pendulum, tomahawk, backhand - all works fine with a lot of rotation. For now im just interested but not very impressed, will post my final conclusion after playing it for some more hours . Good luck on the table, guys ! After playing with it for a year - it’s my favourite backhand rubber. It has it all - control, speed, spin and power when you really insert into the shot. So the best rubber is the one, that you played and used to the most

Feels a little softer than the listed 40 degrees due to the very supple top sheet. I think this is the "do everything" Dignics option. Loops, blocks and drives very well. Lots and lots of power and spin when you hit hard. Not overly fast on soft touches due to the hard sponge.

It is closer to Tenergy 05 than Dignics 05 in terms of the combined hardness of the rubber and sponge. I found it more controllable than both, especially for blocking and punch shots from the backhand. The low arc and long trajectory create problems for my opponents as balls land near the white line. Other than lacking a bit of spins, it is almost perfect for me. I use it on Viscaria.

I've decided to write down a post after reading reviews above bcs my impression of D80 doesn't coincide with them. I've been playing it for a year mostly on the Xiom Vega Tour (hinoki/zefilium-carbon) but I tried the rubber on my other blades too: Xiom Vega Euro (koto/zefilium-carbon) and Yinhe Purple Dragon D607 (a clipper clone, walnut top ply). I've been playing D05 on those 2 blades for a year and a half, my normal forehand rubber is Hurricane, so all the Dignics' are being used for backhand. First of, D80 is noticeably faster than D05 bcs its catapult shows itself much earlier. From my point of view that's the biggest difference between the two defining their playing specialties. D05 is better for counter looping particularly close to the table, D80 is better for blocking, smashing, driving and counter driving. The closer to the top end, the lesser the speed/catapult effect difference. Although D05 is a tad more spinny which is better for bananas and slow opening ups and D80 feels a bit softer bcs of pips shape, all those things don't affect their performance as much as catapult timing. Even control feeling may be affected by that, bcs D05 is just slower before some limit despite being a bit harder in feeling. All the Dignics' work the same for me with all my blades
