Need Help, Dignics 05 alternativ with higher Arc

[Stywok]

Hello, I am looking for Dignics 05 Type rubber with higher arc. I really enjoy the feeling and Speed of Dignics 05 but I don't like the low arc. Dignics 05 on backhand is totally fine for me but somehow I don't enjoy it that much on my FH. Can you guys suggest any rubber to me ? It should be around 50° and have the feeling of D05. I was thinking about Bluster A2, Stiga Helix H or Stiga Helix Hybrid H. I will play it on BTY Zhang Jike ALC. Thanks !!

This table tennis creator compares Butterfly Dignics 05 and Stiga Helix Platinum H with each other so hopefully this could be a good option for you

Dignics 05 vs Helix Platinum H (50°)

Dignics 05 is only 40deg on the Butterfly scale, but around 50deg on the ESN scale, so I assume you're after a rubber of 50deg on the ESN scale? Tenergy 05 sounds like good option, having a significantly higher arc compared Dignics 05.

Perhaps you could open the angle of your bat a bit more?

Same here. Always loved it and still play it on backhand but not forehand. Easy enough to find higher throw rubber, but I don't think you'll find anything with the same feel. The closest in my experience is T05 but it's considerably softer.

I struggled with D05 on fh but I had an easier time using Nexxus Superselect 50 and V>22 DoubleExtra, even though they are also lower arc type rubbers. I just felt that SS50 and V22 were more forgiving when it came to getting clearance over the net, with D05 I felt like I had to pay more attention to how I was hitting otherwise I would hit out or into the net

I find the D05 arc quite high. D09c and Rakza Z are higher. I am currently trying D80 and I find it more controllable than D05 but throw a touch lower and less spin sensitive. Hammond z2 (faster than D05) and Tenergy 19 (more controllable than D05 but slightly less fast) are quite good too.

V22 double extra is probably the best alternative

Helix Platinum is similar in terms of catapult, spin potential, spin sensitivity, arc.
But every sponge is different comparing to Butterfly.
