Butterfly Glayzer

I'm gonna make this one quick:

Been using Glayzer on FH on Innerforce Layer ALC for a month. Found myself twiddling it to my BH too, so now I have it on both sides.

It took a few sessions to get adjusted to the activation, which to me felt like I needed to break the rubber in. But after adding a second Glayzer to the BH and instantly getting the right feeling, I'm sure it was me breaking in rather than the rubber.

This one does it all as an allrounder. It's not excellent at anything, but it works well for everything. It pushes, chops. loops, drives, blocks, and smashes with good, Intermediate player level quality.

Who is this suited for? Allround and OFF- intermediates who play spin and placement over power. I also see OFF+ power players being able to learn a lot with this rubber, but they will likely be moving on to something more powerful when they've been playing intermediate levels for a while.
I found this to be playing much, much more dead on a 5ply and I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to learn to generate good power and have the ambition of moving on to fiber later on. On Innerforce, this is an easy rubber to play.

Just an idea from my subjective experience.
For outerforce alc on forehand try 2mm Hammond z2, or D 05 (1.9mm).
They faster and just as controllable and less overshooting the table than 2.1 Glayzer.
On backhand Glayzer 09c (2.1) or Nittaku c1 (2mm). - G09c more control though. I found I can hit hard, as the blade has plenty of dwell more than normal carbon blades. Found its a bit more direct than innerforce and therefore can attack more. I used that combination (Hammond and Glayzer) on outerforce this week in competition and it went okay.

I missed a perfect opportunity to test someone's Innerforce ALC with G09c and quite regret it - I've only tested it on weaker blades and it was just as dead/dampened as regular Glayzer felt on weak blades.

Appreciate the suggestion, but at this point I need to build mileage with my current Glayzer/Glayzer/Innerforce, as well as work on technical consistency and proficiency. The weird "double-gearshift" sensation I had when I was using Fastarc G-1, and with H3 Neo, is gone, so I don't feel like I need to eliminate the blade's own gearshift right now.
Also, I'm not going back to Fastarc C-1. The balance on it is all wrong. It's sensitive when I don't want it, and then goes dead when I want it to be dynamic.

Just played with a guy about an hour ago who has an outerforce - rubbers - glayzer 2.1 FH and c1 backhand, he changed glue from butterfly chaulk to DHS glue. He was getting more catapult for some reason with butterfly chaulk glue. DHS glue he found made C1 a lot more balanced. He puts two thin coats on rubber one on blade.
I personally like a firmer rubber on the backhand - G 09c or Battle 2 (39 degree). I found to much catapult when I used Rozena rubbers on the outerforce. It was better on the backhand than the forehand though.

Glayzer is a great rubber, it feels like a Dignics 05 but a little softer and more controllable. The feeling on touch feels quite similar to Dignics 05 but I feel I have more confidence to put full power into the ball. Though this isn't exactly my type of rubber because I like a fast rubber

I love linear rubbers, so this rubber is a good one for me. It does it's job well without high catapult. It's quite a hard rubber, so it can go fast as long as you hit through it. It can also play short, chop and spin pretty well. It is balanced, but it does nothing exceptionally well, and it's price is quite high for what it is giving. There are other rubbers out there that have a higher value, but you cannot go wrong with this rubber. One thing bad about this rubber, the bottomsheet is badly affected by regluing. The Glayzer's spring sponge is durable AS LONG AS you keep it on the blade you glued on when it was new. If you reglue it, it'll crater like the moon.
