My experience is that Rozena is just as fast as Tenergy. A LOT less spin but speed is almost greater since the grip is less.

If someone would do a flat bounce test I am sure they would be almost the same. Rozena T05 and Glayzer too. But once one starts to apply angles they start to differ.
Also another bigger difference is the grip of each rubber, rozena has the lowest, tenergy more and glayzer a lot more.
In the past I hated how worn shiny balls slip from rozena or even tenergy and ESN rubbers too, but Glayzer is not like that. Even the most worn, shiniest ball has excellent grip. I feel confident about the grip of glayzer while the others not so much.
I also exploit this with banana flicks and other types of serve receives where grip is most important.

Quick review on glayzer 09c to save you time, because it's not worth even talking about it.

It has a very small catapult and very little tackiness.

Spin is very good and throw angle is higher than hurricane 3, maybe matching tenergy 05.

Speed on viscaria is still slow and feeling is like a dampened version of tenergy 80 if it had a harder sponge, so not the best.

Good for developing players, but if you're even slightly advanced, save for the dignics 09c or hybrid k3, you'll save yourself regret from buying this thing.

It's ok for what it is, grip is not as high as I expected and the only thing that gave it bite was the relatively soft topsheet and tackiness, or what's left of it...

Normal glayzer is sub-par, medium throw angle, ok grip but hard sponge and even harder top sheet. It felt like a chore on both forehand and backhand.

I'm not gonna be playing with them, they're not worth it even compared to 5 month old rubbers.

Do yourself a favour and buy a rozena or bluefire instead, they're a million times better. Even a hurricane 3 neo is faster than these things, even though the 09c is "easier" to play, it's not worth the tradeoff or the price. If they were 20 bucks I'd say whatever because they're not worth anything more.

Well, I just tried a brand new sheet and wanted to share my thoughts.
It really is nothing special. It’s indeed meant for beginners to intermediate players who are meant to switch to D09c later on. It’s slow, not that tacky (doesn’t lift the ball at all) but it has decent spin and relatively good control.
I would definitely not buy it for how much they sell it for in Europe (I bought it in China for about half as much). I’d rather get a K3, Gewo codexx ef pro 54 or pay extra for C53, Bluestar A1, DNA Hybrid XH or Dignics 09c.

Try boosting it. Many claim it's becomes better than D09c after chemical or air boosting.

I tried a clubmate son's setup in today's session which consist of BTY Harimoto ALC with both side Glyzer 09C.

My initial reaction was Woah! So easy to loop. I love the feeling a lot. Not sure whether is due to the rubber or the blade that gives this nice and wonderful feeling.

Comparing this with Dignics 09C that I tried on another clubmate's blade ( on a regular Viscaria ), somehow, IIRC, D09C seems more dead and unresponsive. It could be because of the harder sponge perhaps and it was sometime ago and maybe at that time, my FH technique was poorer back then I suppose, but nonetheless, this was how I remember D09C.

It's because all of these judgy posts are blown way out of proportion.

I think Tyce means you read many people saying Glayzer is garbage, it's terrible, worst rubber ever! So you were surprised when it felt okay.

But really all the modern rubbers are like 80 - 90% the same, marginal differences that matter a lot for a pro and not so much to anyone here on the forum.

Exactly. If Glayzer 09c was actually "garbage", I'm sure Butterfly wouldn't have released it in the first place. If it was "unplayable" people would stop playing it. If it "couldn't lift backspin if my life depended on it" then it would be worse than $5 Aliexpress rubber.
There's simply no way any of that is actually true. It's either highly exaggerated, or, and I honestly think this is more likely, it's a user error.

By that logic, no company ever releases a bad product? :)

Imo, Glayzer 09c isn't a bad rubber. It's the Butterfly price tag that makes it bad when compared against the competition.

It has solid spin and blocks but, my God, the inability to finish points and bad durability make it by far the worst choice among the €40-50 options.

How about the Glayzer (without 09c) compared to the D05? A slightly softer D05 would b great for us mortals.

I think Glayzer is more similar to D05 than Glayzer 09c to D09c and can work well on the backhand.
I think it’s not powerful enough on the forehand tho. It’s softer, less spinny and bottoms out a lot easier. But I still think it’s more worth it than G09c

It is still harder than Tenergy 05 that people have been using on forehand for ages though. The bottoming out problem shoudn't be that big for most players.

Sure, if you use stiff enough blades. If you like flexes blades then d05 is much better. There’s a reason most pros switched to Dignics

Oh no, I think Butterfly would not have released it if it's garbage. There's probably other companies that would still actively promote rubber even if it turns out to be really, honestly bad.
