New rubber aibiss has 50 hardness sponge.That would be so hard then and would need 6 layers of booster then.
What do you mean with "top out a rubber"? And why is this so important for you to "top it out"? I have watched some of your videos and I verify that you are 1) a much better player than I, 2) that you are much fitter than I and 3) that you practice table tennis maybe 10x more than I, but I am not sure, if soft (or heavily boosted) rubbers are the best option for you.
Personally I am a bad player, but some of my problems are caused to the fact that I was not able to play short enough. Most of the ESN rubbers are simply too bouncy for me in the short game. I tried to go back to classic rubbers, but there is a lack of spin and power in my eyes. I tried chinese rubbers, but without boosting they are not playable for me and boosting is a real annoying process in my eyes.
I tried some of the new and harder ESN rubbers like R53 and Nexus EL Pro 50, which helped me a lot, because they are easier to play for me than the softer versions, at least in the short game and this is important for me. I have to add, that I am mostly playing from short distance, directly at the table, sometimes 1-2 m away from the table but nearly never from a longer distance.
Actually I am testing the Dignics 09C on both sides (fh = 2,1 mm / bh = 1,9 mm) on a 89g Innerforce blade. Together with 2x D09C the total wight is 189-190g, which is not too much for me. And from the first impressions this rubber is fantastic in the short game, extremely grippy, fast enough for spin attack and hard shots and very easy to control, especially in the passive game. You only need a short active movement of your hand to set the right direction of the ball. IF you do this (and you really must do this), the control of this rubber is amazing. Therefore I think, Dignics 09C (in opposite to Dignics 05) is not only an option for higher rated players. In my eyes the D09C is much easier to play with compared with D05, with H3 and also H3 Neo.
I don't want to attack you, but actually I have less mistakes in my strokes than I can see in your videos, although my playing-skills are MUCH lower than yours. So my advice for you is, to try D09C without boosting, but not only 5-10 minutes. Try it for some training-sessions and maybe the result will be astonishing for you. Your arm and your movements are fast enough for this rubber.

Can you please compare D09C and R53 if possible ?
I agree to most of these impressions. D09C definitely has more spin because of the top sheet, which is a bit sticky at the beginning, but still extremely grippy after some time of use. And it is also clear that R53 is faster and easier to play from mid distance. It is not as spinny as D09C, but nevertheless it is also very spinny and it is easier to play with, if you are used to ESN rubbers. For me R53 is somewhere between D09C and T05 Hard from the feeling.R53 is way faster but less spinny. D09c is the best close to the table countering rubber that I have played with.On par with very well boosted hurricane 3 national. But you need power for D09c.
R53 is a dream to use away from the table. But d09c arc is very high so looping underspin sometimes the ball goes out. But I have just played with D09c for 3 hours today.
Because of the crazy price I plan to test another alternative, the new Rakza Z, but on the other side I have to concider, that the durability of the D09C seems to be VERY good (much better than T05 in this point). Therefore the price-difference (complete costs of rubbers within a year) may be not as high as it seems to be from the pure price.
My R53 rubbers (Ultramax on forehand and 1,7 mm on backhand) are 4g heavier than my Dignics 09C rubbers (2,1 mm on forehand + 1,9 mm on backhand). Maybe my D09C rubbers are lighter than "normal" or/and my R53 rubbers are heavier than "normal", but I think, D09C is not unusual heavy, compared with other non-chinese rubbers with this hardness.d09c is simply too heavy.
