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.
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.
Try boosting it. Many claim it's becomes better than D09c after chemical or air boosting.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.
It's because all of these judgy posts are blown way out of proportion.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.
what do you mean my friend?It's because all of these judgy posts are blown way out of proportion.
Yes, it does. Still quite slow but livelier. Good for spin and placement game.I’m with Gozo on Glazer. 09C is decent . It just feels a little bit numb but it produces decent shots. I was playing it on a 5 ply allwood all+ blade. Probably feels better on a crisp carbon blade.
By that logic, no company ever releases a bad product?Exactly. If Glayzer 09c was actually "garbage", I'm sure Butterfly wouldn't have released it in the first place.
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.How about the Glayzer (without 09c) compared to the D05? A slightly softer D05 would b great for us mortals.
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.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
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 DignicsIt 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.
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.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.
