I played it once so it's hard to give a comparison so soon. I also ordered the blade sealing so that can also affect the feeling. First impressions - stiffer, more woody feeling, better feedback, but bouncier, more direct, less arc, strong spin generation and brush feeling when serving tomahawk.

Interesting, I am not from Germany, but thinking of getting this exact setup in the future (C48 2.0mm BH and C53 MAX FH). Tried Rasanter C53 and it felt very pleasant for me, more pleasant than other hybrids. Paired really nice with my Ovtcharov blade, but I wanted more more forward trajectory...

Would you say Rasanter C series and Genextion is in the middle ground or tensor hybrids? They have more stickiness than something like Gewo Codexx or Donic Bluegrip, but less sticky than Dignics 09c, Rakza Z

Tibhar released MX-P infinity who supposedly has better durability than the retro version. It's also ~51 degree hardness

For me it was too bouncy on passive contact and too slow on offensive shots. I liked it more on forehand, because I loop with my FH. Maybe a thinner sponge would work on my BH. I have MAX thickness.

I like hybrid rubbers because they help with service receive and pace variation (drop shots are better). And I like tensor rubbers for the smashing and counter punching. Not hybrids are the same though, some have very little stickiness where the ball barely lifts before dropping down...

Tried both Glayzer and Dignics 05. I wouldn't say Glayzer is Dignics-lite, but rather Zyre-lite as the feeling of the ball sink matches more while Dignics feels different. I would suggest FastArc G-1 or Tibhar Hybrid MK as dignics-lite rubbers.

Have you tried different thickness of R7 later on in your career. I wonder how much 0.2 or 0.3 mm can influence the distance and height of the arc.

As long as your forehand loop gets the ball on opponent's table and isn't comfortable for him to return then all is good. Different players have their own strokes and you adapt based on your current equipment, table distance, opponent's shot and even the environment you are playing at.

I tried D05 and D64, but not D80. Can't tell the arc height difference in gameplay, but the length difference is very noticable.

Non-NEO? I don't think there's an ESN rubber that would match a non-NEO hurricane. Even Bluegrip C1 with 60 hardness has catapult.

Just out of curiousity, Zyre 03 and Dignics 64 both have long lengths, but the heights of the arcs differs. How does that affect gameplay away from the table?

Is it true that 05 is meant for close to the table, 80 mid-zone and 64 far away?

When boosted does it behave like Tenergy 05?

Hey guys, I would like to discuss the arcs (throw angles) of table tennis rubbers. Butterfly has made an image for tenergy and dignics line, showing the arc differences between 05, 80 and 64 models. Yasaka also has this example with Rakza rubbers Donic has two graphs, but they show...
