T19 or D64/80 as a BH?

[jonyer80]

Hi there! I've watched tons of reviews about this threesome as BH rubber, but I haven't the faintest idea which one will suit better to my BH in terms of forgiveness, speed, rallies and spinwise.

The way I see D64 might be the fastest. Hence, the more suited when it comes to pushing whereas the worst in terms of spin.
In addition, It's a no brainer that D'S topsheet have the grippiest among the inverted rubbers isn't it? Furthermore, D's durability is hands down up there, so what's the point of T19?


What would you recommend to an intermediate user that has been into the sport for 25years? I will be using it on a Innerforce ZLC and any T05/D05/MXP on the FH.

D80 is freaking fantastic, much better than D64. Go for it!

Aren't all Tenergies faster than all Dignics-rubbers unless you hit really hard?
On the BH side I suspect a lot of people also have easier to open up the game with a T19 than Dignics. Bouncier short-game though.

Yeah, I hazard a guess D's will be more durable, lighter whereas more spin sensitive.

I finally purchased a sheet of D64. To me it was a total failure; too mushy on my IF ZLC, lacked of power 😔. It missed the top end speed of MXP or T05 whereas spinwise is only average. Maybe it suits for all-rounders and blockers, but i felt quite kinda unstable&erratic.

At no account am I going to get any D series, I'm coming to terms with the harder the sponge, the better. Better stick with D05 or 09C.

bsolutely disappoint. I wish I had bought any reliable Tenergy.

D64 and D05 are both the same sponge hardness and both are already fairly hard at 40d Butterfly (vs 36 for T19)

I have played all of these and to call D64 mushy is very strange - it’s pretty hard in my view and certainly not lacking in top end power or speed (Much faster than MX-P top end)

Tenergy is easier to use for most intermediate players - I prefer T19 to D64 but mainly because my BH is not good enough to get the best out of D series rubbers.

I love Dignics 64 as a Backhand.

Basically a harder Tenergy 64. Hits the same.

Surprised to hear the opposite.

How about glayzer 09c on BH, iam play with it on BH of synergy plus, so easy in open a looping
