Is the D05 the best in its league?

I think, he can buy national Orange sponge.

It says the provincial is worth to buy rather than the national, besides i'm not a very high level player

As an afterthought, I would not even bother with Neo but go straight for the orange sponge commercial H3.
Apply the booster sparingly and give the layers plenty of time to dry and over night for the last of the 3 layers.

Why commercial? and why not neo provincial? isn't the commercial qc a gamble?

I know. All the DHS rubbers are very good. I have been using H3N BS for 2 months, and it is an amazing rubber. If you have enough money to buy Blue sponge, Just buy it.

Is the only diff between BS or OS just denser and more power? How about durability

I'm currently using a G1 and I find it very comfortable using it, so changing to a glayzer seems like a step down because they are pretty similar but glayzer is slower

Glayzer seems like a step down? How?
And how can you say they are pretty similar? Have you already tried the Glayzer?
I don't think Glayzer is slower that G1.
Slower on slow shots (maybe?) but when putting real power into the stroke then I would wager that the Glayzer may actually be faster.

My main point though, is about choosing a rubber that works best for you.
However it seems you are intent on buying the 'best' rubber available no matter what.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's your money\time etc and hopefully you'll have fun figuring it all out but I personally cannot see D05 working for you.

I think you a have fallen victim to the EJ thinking that the way to improve your shots further is to buy better and faster equipment.
As so many have found out, this is not really the case.

For a coach to tell you that a rubber like G1 or Glayzer is the limiting factor in your game and that it's literally holding you back (and D05 could see you move fwd) you would be at the level where you wouldn't be asking these questions.

Imo you would be better to stay with G1 until your FH technique is perfect.
Anyway, have fun whatever you do and good luck 👍

I think they are same.

It's just something i read from a website

I also think i'm scrapping the d05 d09c idea, going for a h3 neo boosted. It's still a couple months like 5 - 7? So yea g1 is still going to improve my technique

What booster should i use? and how many layer should i apply? does booster shorten the life span of a rubber?

Again, @victormanriquey has written a great post: DHS Hurricane 3 Neo: The Complete Amateur Guide you may want to read it

He recommended Haifu Seamoon. I used it before, but now I use Kailin. I think Kailin suits me better because I don't like a very pronounced boosting effect, and I only use one layer.

I'm still a beginner, and I'm using a softer sponge. One layer of Kailin oil is just enough for me to activate the rubber.

If you follow the instructions, your rubber won't be damaged. Just apply a thin layer each time. Use two or three layers depending on your preference. You'll need to experiment a bit to find what works best for you.

It won't shorten the lifespan of the rubber. Almost all modern rubbers on the market are factory-boosted. The rubber will degrade in much the same way as a boosted H3. It all depends on how often you play and how hard you hit the ball.

ESN and Japanese tensor rubbers don't last as long as many people think. The tensor effect degrades over time, often just as quickly as a boosted H3.

The biggest advantage of H3 is that you can reboost it multiple times until the sponge eventually becomes damaged.

IMO

Orange sponge is very dense. You can't see the pores. It transmits feeling to the blade very strongly.

Blue sponge has visible pores (still nothing huge) so for the same total hardness (sponge + air gaps), the sponge material needs to be harder.
I feel it transmits feeling less clearly which can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on where you are in terms of learning curve and experience with the rubber.
A bit like how blades with a lot of vibration are useful to some, and blades with more muted vibration is better for others.

Both can be boosted perfectly fine. Both have the same topsheet and the same behavior in low to medium speed balls. I have more experience with orange than blue, but I feel blue gives a more satisfying cracking sensation when you hit a power loop right. It also feels like the ball goes a little bit lower over the net but that could be between my ears.

The feedback quality of orange is very, very good. I just really don't like it on blades that are already prone to vibration. But when paired with a solid blade it is a super controlled combo.
I honestly don't think I need blue. The drawback of reduced feedback accuracy is too much of a sacrifice for gaining a little bit more pop on hard finishers.

Having used G1 and Glayzer on the same blade, this is pretty accurate. G1 is more reactive, but Glayzer is capable of producing very powerful shots despite being a lot more linear.

I would not use the Glayzer on something like a flexible 5ply blade, because it does require active play. But unlike the G1 which is quite sensitive to incoming spin and has a definite threshold where it will launch the ball, the Glayzer does pretty much exactly what you would expect. Whatever effort level you put into the shot is what it produces, which makes it incredibly consistent. The only limiting factor is your own ability to generate power and play actively, because it doesn't give you any help.

As a hurricane 3 and Dignics 09c enjoyer I think it deserves some respect especially for mid distance with counter loops, but 09c beats it in every aspect if you have the technique to accelerate and if you have that technique hurricane just beats it in every aspect. Hurricane is great, but requires booster. I am going to be retrying it on forehand again after stint of using D05 (which has great durability), but I think I will go back to using D09c on fh as you can't beat it.
