Thank you Tom. You did a very good review. I am playing this rubber nearly more than one year and I am totally agree with all the facts you pointed out. I am playing the xpro on the back hand side on a Butterfly Harimoto Blade and it fits fantastic. Due to the spin properties i changed to the soft version because you can create more spin. To equalize the less spin i am playing the soft version in max. All in all it is the rubber for my backhand i was looking for such a long time. Thanks for the great Input with all your videos on the channel. Greats from Germany. Christian
Hi Tom. Great video. About to have a bat made with this on one side 6:33 What's your impression of spin on serve with this rubber please ? Thank you 😊🏓
A big parameter is longevity to compare the price. D80 is still good after a complete season. 80euros is not so expensive. T05 is alive for 3 month so 60euros is very expensive. D09C is my favorite on Forehand because H3N from DHS need booster so i need 2 bats to boost and play at the same time. For backhand D80 is a beast. I am not a Butterfly fanatic but i have to recognize that theses rubber are simply the best. Pro players are not stupid and use it for their abbilities to give an amazing playing in front of Chinese players with DHS national rubbers. An over point is witch wood you paired with? A good rubber on a cheap blade is not effective. A very good carbon blade with a cheap Chinese rubber works better. So 1st, a good blade, very good! Then an appropriate rubber but with the plastic ball and the modern playing style, harder is better. Popular is not the proof that it's the best way. People wants a rubber who works in place of them. Developing physical ability, mindness and technic is the right way. Have a good day.
Im using 2 different rackets depends on the player i match.. Mostly i use my: tibhar akkad with the yasaka rakza X soft and the tibhar aurus.. If i play againt pimples or anti then i use: tiga carbo kev with friendship R.I.T.C. and the TSP Curl P-3
Water has been used to clean rubbers safely for a long time. Strange why he didn't say why he would not recommend water. But his spray is probably 95% water.
Hey pls help Im looking for bh rubber that counters backspin mainly that digs into balls and pushes close game Behind the table i usually use bh drives So someone suggest me a cheap rubber Xiom vega pro or xiom vega europe
I also have Waldner 89! I now use Donic Xtreme (which was released at the same time with Waldner Gold), which is a decent blade with a stronger support, a slightly slower speed, and a much better control than Waldner 89.
Amazing reviews, please keep them coming! Already one of the best YT TT equipment review channels, subbed immediately. Blade reviews would be amazing too!
Is it easier to do a thin backhand topspin with this? The most difficult part for me is doing a topspin against a push. It is possible but I either give a dead lift or a fast tospspin which is more risky to do
Great review! I'm a little puzzled that you say that it's not so good for blocks, as I think it's the rubber Koki Niwa is using, and he is really good a that. I'm a newbie. Can you explain this?
Hi Tom, thanks for this quality review as usual. For questions in the comment section, I can share my choices of rubber and blade for a reference (I'm a intermediate level non-pro player in China): blade: Donic Xtreme (A very sensitive and easy to control blade, also very supportive for speed and spin) backhand: Joola Rhyzen ZGR max (Generating greater speed and spin than Rhyzen CMD, which I previously used) forehand: Joola Dynaryz AGR max (SPEED and POWER!!! The rubber itself seems a bit hard to control, but I find it fits very well with the character of my blade, so it's no problem)
For the past two years I have been using JOOLA Rossi Emotion PBO-c. It's fast, but not uncontrollable. I don't think JOOLA make this blade anymore, which is a shame.
I'm not sure. I've not actually used Dignics 05, so can't make an exact comparison. But from what I have read about Dignics 05, the rubber is harder than Dynaryz Inferno. Dynaryz Inferno has a little softness to it. And whilst the topsheet grips the ball well, it's not tacky.
You can buy this rubber from... Bribar Table Tennis (UK & worldwide shipping): bribartt.co.uk/product/joola-dynaryz-inferno-table-tennis-rubber/?ref=8204 or Megaspin (USA): www.megaspin.net/store/default.asp?pid=j-dynaryz-inferno&aid=ttcoach The robot I am using in this video is the PowerPong Omega. More information here: www.tabletenniscoach.me.uk/review-power-pong-omega-robot/
It's simple: Butterfly make the best rubbers and always have, and have always been the leading choice among professionals and good amateurs, from Scriver to Byrce through to Tenergy and Dignics. They're worth the premium.
