Why is it that Dignics 05 is often considered a great BH rubber, but 50 degree ESN rubbers are considered by some to be too hard for BH?t05 47.5
d05 50
D09c 53

Its all relative to the user
Any one who can use D05 is a pretty decent level.
I use 48 on backhand, and thinking to go 50/53 as the new 47.5/48 to me are too soft.

Which BH rubber do you use and which rubber are you thinking of changing to?

Right now, I'm using Stiga DNA Pro H
for my spare racket, I got a pink rubber, Xiom Vega X (they had no stock of V47.5 pink that time), and Vega X was way too soft for me.
new rubbers - i'm not sure, not thinking of getting anything yet. Since my bat is now only a sparing partner bat/multiball feeder.
I did think of the Green Aruna rubber, 53 one.
V47.5 pink, but i'm worried it is too soft
or will just go for DNA Platinum XH or H
I also thought of T05H but then the above I can get for free or cost price, Butterfly I need to buy
But then, I don't like to waste, so I might just hang on to my "bruised" DNA Pro H even longer

Because Dignics has the Butterfly brand on it? :> Seriously though, many people forget the topsheet's (which could be close to as thick as the sponge) contribution to the feel of a rubber.
Emrathich (PingSunday.com) said you'd typically want a backhand rubber 3-degrees softer than your forehand rubber. Top Chinese players frequently use H3 (very hard) on forehand, and Tenergy 05 on backhand, although some are switching to a softer (~37 degree) sticky Chinese rubber on BH.
The blade makes a big difference too. A more flexible blade works well with harder rubbers, because you get more spin from the blade flexing. So an Acoustic (5-ply wood) with D09C on FH, and D05 on BH may generate more spin than than a hard carbon blade with T05 on both sides.

I’m pretty sure that the 37 deg Chinese rubber is still harder than T05
you mean the Gewo Super Select from Quadri Aruna?the Topsheet is quite on high Tension,so it feels way harder than the sponge density suggest.
Only teste the SS 45 but it felt Harder compostion wise than a Normal 45 Rubber with a softer Topshet.
I would guess the c53 play quite hard.
But only tested the ss 45 on a custum Balsa Bat from Re-Impact,and only for a few balls.
But the Intitial Gut feeling was,"this can´t be a 45 degree rubber".
Never played with Tenergy 05 Hard or Dignics 09C so can't compare myself but if Butterfly uses Shore A than both 05H and 09C would have a harder sponge than any (officially) available Hurricane 3. DHS also uses Shore A.According to my ResearchButterfly uses Shore A
ESN uses Shore O
There are conversion charts for Shore A to Shore O, so that gives the following results:
Tenergy 05 FX = 32 Shore A , 42/43 ESN
Tenergy 05 = 36 Shore A , 47/48 ESN
Dignics = 40 Shore A , 51/52 ESN
Tenergy Hard = 43 Shore A , 56 ESN
Dignics 09c = 44 Shore A,57 ESN
