Play both C52.5, C55 (briefly) and D09C on BH.

C series had way more control without lacking power.
Do you prefer C52.5 or C55 for BH more? Also how’s the durability for both?

Prefer 52.5 more stable.

Durability same as other ESN rubbers, early signs of skiding after about 2 months (24 hours). Poor value considering the price

Thanks for the insight. I see you still continue using the C series though. Is the performance that good to justify keeping it despite its poor durability?

I've tried D09c and C52.5 on BH, each tournament I used one and can compare between them:
Bounciness: C52.5 > D09c
Throw angle: D09c > C52.5
Spin: D09c > C52.5 (both seems to have the same tackiness)
Durability: both are good, each lasted me 3-4 months (lost half performance but then I gave it to a lower level clubmate and he can still play for 3 months more)

I've started to use the C52.5 for the backhand. The break-in period takes a while for me, I prefer when the topsheet starts to soften up on the C series for outer carbon. Blocking feels really stable on the backhand. I have a sheet of max C55 on forehand and switching the two seems like the 52.5 has a slightly lower throw angle which I found to be interesting.

Wish I could find a max sponge for the 52.5 cause the max C55 is fun to play with on the backhand.
