Tenergy 05 Hard vs Dignics 80 for forehand

[joshmak10]

Hey everyone, just wanting your advice on which rubber to select for my forehand, Dignics 80 (currently using) or Tenergy 05 Hard? I am intermediate-advanced player with good forehand, for reference

 

[TensorBackhand]

Definitely Tenergy hard if you can handle the extra stiffness

when you say stiffness you just mean the harder sponge in T05H correct?

What don't you like about Dignics 80? Have you thought about Dignics 05 or Dignics 09c?

Yes, T05H will generate more spin and power if you hit harder. I actually really like this rubber on FH.

Dignics 80 is a fantastic rubber for me on the FH, just wondering because i was interested in T05H as well and am considering all my FH options come the time i need to replace my rubber. Dignics 05 is my backhand rubber and it is a joy on the BH. I didn’t love 09C when i tried it on my friends blade

Then I agree with T05 hard.

I play Hurricane on my forehand so I am interested in Dignics 09c when the time comes.

Hopefully you will have fun trying it out! I will update when i change to Tenergy 05 Hard and give my thoughts

I would suggest Dignics 05 or Tenergy 05.

I don’t like how bouncy Tenergy 05 is, which is why i prefer harder sponge rubber like Dignics 80 (or Tenergy 05 Hard in the future possibly)

I know that this is not one of the options, but I have Dignics 05 on the backhand and it is one of the best backhand rubbers out there.

I do as well and i cannot agree more, it is the best i have used

Currently using T05H on my MJ-ZLC and having this same debate myself. The T05H feels great but wondering if I might get more spin potential from the D80.
Thinking of either doing:
FH: D09c, BH: D80
FH: T05H, BH: D80
FH: D80, BH: D80

You wish more spin, just put your 09c on all blades you have! All T series rubbers have same problem, 2 months later, different feel already, lesser tension, lesser grip. Played T series for over 3 years, nothing like after D09c out. Only bh.

Yeah, you can get loads of spon on a simple, minimal motion, pendulum serve, and with a full swing backhand serve, you can get tons more. Definitely worth the(hefty) price
