Hey Vik,
Is R53 still a good alternative to boosted H3? Moreover,does R53 feel similar hardness to dignics 05?

Going from softer rubber to harder rubber there is no question you will be required to make higher quality shots. There simply can't be a rubber that gives you more spin on both out of position shots and in position shots. R53 simply was more tolerant of out of position shots than I thought a 53 degree rubber would offer.
Bear in kind though, I can't make a direct comparison because when I used R47, it was on a much stiffer blade like Treiber Z. I don't think I'd slap R53 on a stiff blade at this point.
