The Dignics 09C was my first rubber on a custom racket. It served me well as I was initially trying to find a Hurricane 3. It wasn't as tacky but did do its job. It was a bit heavy to start off with, but you can get used to it. The main drawback was that the spin for looping or heavy spin chops just wasn't enough. This is still a good rubber overall but lacks large amounts of spin which sometimes is needed.

Even for backspin looping, your technique is just not good enough. D09c has with hurricane the most potential for spin.

I can say I haven't played as long as you guys, however I do feel after playing with Dignics 09C that the feel is more grippy rather than tacky giving it a slight difference in the top spin that comes out it than the Hurricane 3.

I agree with your reply that the O9C is only lightly tacky with lots of grip, particularly compared to an old school H3. It does give a different feeling to the rubber. Comparing to a Neo H3 I would say the Neo H3 is still tackier but not by a lot. One thing I noticed between the two is the maintenance to keep them Tacky. It is easy to bring it back on a H3 of any type with the old bit of water and a non adhesive coversheet. But you can't do this on the 09C. So if the owner skips Cleaning after a session the rubber will be impacted. For the 09C I religiously use the Butterfly spin refresh cleaner and the adhesive cover sheet as they advise and my blade has actually become a little bit more tacky but nothing like what you can do to a H3. I can pick the ball up with my 09C but I can't walk around the room like a H3.

This rubber is amazing. I have been using this rubber for a little bit now and I must say that this is way better than the Dignics 09C. The spin is incredible but lacks speed, so I recommend pairing it with a fast blade to help boost it. The downside is it's really hard to find out of China.

I went into the Rozena for my backhand which is weaker and slow than my forehand as my first racket. It worked for a while until I got better and more experienced like when in training I was training for chopping and blocking, it lacked the spin and speed that I wanted. I would personally recommend just saving up some extra money for a more expensive rubbers in maybe the Tenergy series.

I have been using the Stiga Cybershape Carbon for a little while now pairing it with a slow and medium speed level with the National Hurricane 3 Neo on forehand and Tenergy 80 on the backhand. The hardness of the Cybershape help boost the speed of the Hurricane by a bit and is holding pretty well. The only draw back I found was how heavy the head was and the CWT did its job and helped a lot.
