Explanation

Dignics 64 is the most specialized speed performance in Butterfly’s high-end rubber series, Diginics series. The target layer of Dignics 64 is the layer that uses Tenergy 64, and it seems that the intention is to propose Dignics 64 if you want more speed and rotation.
The reason why katsuo000 paid attention to Dignics 64 is that Zhang Jike ZLC (Zhang Jike ZLC) and Dignics 64 were introduced on the Butterfly homepage as being compatible. The following is reprinted from the special page of Butterfly.

Also, katsuo000 is ashamed to never use Tenergy 64. I’ve used Bryce Highspeed, which is more specialized in speed, but I wondered if Tenergy 64 is a rubber similar to Blythe Highspeed, and I wasn’t even thinking about hitting it. .. I have repeatedly praised Dignics 05 as good on this blog, but I tried to use it to find out how it compares to other Dignics.

Comparison of published performance values

As you can see from the performance, Dignics 64 is a rubber with spin performance higher than Rozena and high speed performance next to Blythe High Speed. The speed performance is the second fastest among the butterfly rubbers after Bryce High Speed, so you can see that it is an overwhelmingly speed-based rubber.

Spring Sponge X and Dignics series seats

The Spring Sponge X used in the Dignics series is said to be an evolved version of the Spring Sponge used in the Tenergy series. The spring sponge is a closed-cell sponge, and it is a butterfly original technology that cannot be manufactured by other rubber manufacturers. Spring sponge X is made by making the closed cells of the spring sponge finer while maintaining independence. As a result, it seems that Spring Sponge X is 14% easier to deform than Spring Sponge, and the repulsive force is improved by 3%.
Speaking of the spring sponge of the Tenergy series, the orange sponge is characteristic, but the spring sponge X of the Dignics series is characterized by the red color that can be said to be crimson, and you can tell at a glance that it is the Dignics series. By the way, sponges of similar color are from other manufacturers, and they are very similar in color to the sponge of THIBAR’s Evolution series.

It is also introduced that the surface strength and ball holding have been improved. Regarding ball holding, it is introduced that the counter and Chiquita caught on the seat are more stable. In addition, although it is strong, Mizutani also mentioned that it took longer to replace the rubber. Certainly, it takes longer for the sheet to turn white than the Tenergy series, and if the storage conditions are good, the sheet will not deteriorate for nearly a year. Considering the rubber as a whole, the tension of the spring sponge X seems to loosen, so I feel that the state changes from moment to moment.
The seats of the Dignics series have a stronger transparency, but it seems that they use strong seats that are close to the cloudy seats made in Germany, so I feel that Chiquita and counters are extremely easy to do.

Dignics 64 sticking and weight

It’s thick and sticks, and 45 g is light. It will be a fairly light rubber in terms of weight.

Three features of Dignics 64

The features of the Dignik series, the hardness of the hard sheet, the ease of stopping, and the ease of counter-driving are apparent!

The shot feeling was more similar to that of Dignics 05 and Dignics 80 than I imagined. Although the Dignics 64 is a rubber with a characteristic of speed, I felt that it was easy to firmly fix the push and the stop like other Dignics 05 and Dignics 80. At Blythe High Speed, of course, the speed was fast, and I felt that it was a rubber that was easy to rotate, but it was quite difficult to stop and stop. However, I felt that the Dignics 64 is one of the few rubbers that speeds up even though the push and stops can be stopped low. Like other Dignics, it was a very reliable rubber that could firmly fix push and Stop.
In addition, the ease of counter drive, which has been acclaimed repeatedly in the Dignics series, was alive and well. It is not easily affected by the rotation of the other party. Dignics 09C may be different, but I think that Dignics 05, 80, 64 use the same sponge and the same material sheet, and the only difference is the grain shape of the sheet. Therefore, I thought that Digg 05, 80, 64, which use the same sheet material and the same sponge, have similar characteristics that appear from the sheet and sponge. I feel that the grain shape changes the shot feeling, especially the shot feeling when biting into it. Digg’s 05, 80, 64 may be quite close if the ball does not bite into the sponge. I think that the only counter drive is to bite into the sponge, but the ease of doing my counter drive seems to be whether the seat is hard or the seat is easily affected by rotation, so it is hard. I felt that the Dignics sheet, which is not easily affected by rotation, is easy to do. In other words, Dignics 64 was easy to counter drive.

The easiest to handle in the Dignics series! Hard to feel the hardness!

Although it is the content that the contract player of Butterfly is transmitted, Dignics 64 had a better bite than other Dignics. Therefore, I felt that Dignics 64 was clearly easier to handle than other Dignics. Especially meet, block and speed drive were very easy to do. In Dignics 05, the ball often falls due to insufficient impact, and you may make a mistake due to the hardness of the rubber before holding the ball. katsuo000 is conscious of the trunk to make up for the difficulty of Dignics 05, and is conscious of shaking by the rotation of the waist instead of shaking only by hand, but the fore and back are turned back by that amount. It’s easy to be late, but with Dignics 64, I could use it without worrying about it.

The fastest ball separation and fastest pitch in Dignics!

Dignics 09C is an adhesive rubber, and Dignics 05 is also a rubber that makes you feel the ball holding very much, so I felt that the ball release was slow. The slower the ball is released, the easier it is to spin and control, but the pitch is only a small difference, but it slows down. On the other hand, Dignics 64 was faster than any other Dignics! Therefore, if you feel the benefit of putting pressure on your opponent at the speed of leaving the ball, you should definitely recommend Dignics 64.

Each technics

Fore hand

Light hit
I didn’t feel any difference from other Dignics. However, I felt that I didn’t feel the tension of the rubber when I put it on.

Drive on long balls and rallies
It was very easy to speed drive and was straight. Even with Dignics 05, it is easy to hit a straight speed drive, but Dignics 64 was more stable.

Drive with open face
I felt that the ball was released a little faster. It may not be very suitable.

Top spin (loop) drive against back spin
It’s not difficult to do, but I felt that the amount of rotation was a little unsatisfactory.

Speed drive against back spin
I was a little worried about over mistakes, but I think it’s an arm problem.

Block
It was easy to do. It will be difficult to rotate.

Counter drive
Counter drive was good.

Stop / push
It settled low. After all the amount of rotation is a little small.

Fore flick
It was easy to do. It’s softer than Dignics 05, so I felt like I could grip it firmly and hit it.

Back hand

Light hit
I felt the speed of leaving the ball a little. I also want to grip the back and hit it, and I also felt that it was a little difficult to do because I used outer carbon.

Drive on long balls and rallies
It’s not bad, but the flight distance is quite long, so I just wanted to speed drive and I got a lot of unreasonable hits.

Top spin (loop) drive against back spin
I made a few net mistakes, but I didn’t think it would be difficult.

Speed drive against back spin
I made a lot of mistakes due to my lack of skill, but it’s easy to do.

Curve / shoot drive
Chiquita was more powerful in the speed type.

Block
It was easy to do.

Counter drive
I’m not good at it, but I feel that I can do it if I practice.

Stop / push
It was easy to do, but the amount of rotation is small.

Chiquita
It was easy to do. Dignics 05 is hard and the arc line is too high, so it is difficult to feel, but I think that some people may find Dignics 64 easier to do.

Explanation

We would like to review Rosena, one of Butterfly (Tamasu)’s signature products. To talk about Rosena, I think it starts with Tenergy. The release of the world standard Tenergy 05 dates back to now, about 13 years ago, in April 2008. Tenergy 05, which still wants the name of the world standard even after more than 10 years have passed due to the prohibition of post-processing with organic solvents, has become an existence that can not be talked about without it when thinking about table tennis. Considering the features of this Tenergy series as katsuo000 as of 2021, I think it will be as follows.

Features of Tenergy series
・High spin performance
・High speed performance
・Weight light

I think that the characteristics of the Tenergy series as described above are largely due to Butterfly’s unique sponge. The sponge used in the Tenergy series is an orange sponge called Spring Sponge, and the bubbles in the sponge have a closed cell structure, and it seems that they are able to show high performance. This spring sponge is a technology that differentiates it from other competing table tennis makers with only Butterfly technology. While other competing table tennis makers basically outsource rubber manufacturing, Butterfly, despite being a table tennis maker, owns a sponge manufacturing factory and is trying to differentiate itself. Because of this spring sponge, Tenergy can produce high performance, but due to the fact that it costs research and development in addition to resale and counterfeiting, it has become an open price and it is almost double the price compared to other rubbers. It can be said that it is also a (bad) feature. However, there is no doubt that the usage rate of top players is high and it is the world standard.
In addition to Tenergy 05, which has the highest usage rate of the top players and high rotation performance, Tenergy 64, which has high speed performance due to the difference in the top seat, Tenegy 80, which has a good balance of spin and speed, There are 5 types of seats, including the Tenergy 25, which is strong against counters and front teams, and the Power Tenergy 19, which was released the other day. The explanation of each sheet is as follows.

No. 05: 1.7 mm grain spacing is narrow. High rotation performance.
No. 25: The height of the 2.65 mm grain is low. Easy to play on the table and counter.
No. 64: 1.7 mm wide grain spacing. High speed performance.
No. 180: The grain spacing of 1.7 mm is in the middle. The rotation and speed are well balanced.
No. 219: 1.5 mm grain spacing is narrow. It is easy to grab the ball well and put out power.
As mentioned above, the characteristics of each top sheet are reflected, and there are key phrases such as “Rotation 05”, “Balance 80”, “Speed 64”, “Front 25”, and “Power 19”. It is crowned.

About 13 years ago, after launching Tenergy 05 in April 2008, Butterfly launched Tenergy 25 in November 2008, Tenergy 64 in April 2009, and Tenergy in July 2010. 05 FX (Tenergy 05 FX), Tenergy 25 FX in November 2010, Tenergy 64 FX in November 2011, Tenergy 80 in January 2013, 2014 Tenergy 80 FX in April 2017, Rozena in April 2017, Tenergy 05 Hard, which is a harder version of Tenergy 05 in November 2018, in April 2019. Dignics 05 has been released as a rubber that exceeds tenergy. And in March 2021, when the transition from Tenergy to Dignics was beginning to appear, Tenergy 19 was put on the market. To date, there are 10 types of Tenergy. Each has been sold as a new product, and the fact that Tenergy 05 is still popular is a sign of completion and trust.

Rosena, reviewed on this page, is, so to speak, a cheaper version of Tenergy. Combined with a soft spring sponge, it becomes an easy-to-use tenergy-like rubber. I think it is a popular rubber as a back rubber for intermediate users or as a rubber with a spring sponge for the first time for beginners. In terms of price range, it is cheaper than the signboard rubber of other manufacturers and cheaper than the best-selling rubber, Fastarc G-1 of Nittaku, and the real selling price is fiercely competitive 4,000 It will be a rubber dropped on the circle! For cheaper and better performance than this price, Yasaka’s Rakza series and Rigan, and XIOM’s Vega X and Vega Tour 3,000. Will it be a round rubber? I would like to make a comparison with this area in the future.
Recently, a review of Rosena was posted on YouTuber, Goblin’s, but it was quite badly criticized. I think she has some likes and dislikes that don’t meet. I think she feels uncomfortable using hard rubber.

Published performance value

Shows the published performance values of Butterfly.

It may be no exaggeration to say that Rosena is Tenergy 05, which has inferior spin performance in a sense. Actually, I tried it again this time, but I have used thick Rosena in the past. In that impression, I had a strong impression that it was a rubber with low rotational performance. On the other hand, I remember that the shot feeling was certainly the shot feeling of the spring sponge, and the feel was not bad.

Rozena weight and paste

Rosena weighed 48 g. Butterfly’s rubber seems to have a correlation with sponge hardness basically, and the Tenergy FX series has softer sponge hardness and lighter weight. The sponge hardness is 35, which is a little softer than Tenergy, so 48 g is a heavy weight.

Three features of Rozena

Recently, I mainly use Tenergy rubber for the back, so I could use it with a good feeling rather than a very strange feeling. To be honest, I could not deny the lack of power, but I still felt that the ease of handling was higher than the Tenergy series and Tenergy FX series! It was a level that I was wondering whether to use it in the main. I think it’s a shield-like rubber for sticking rather than using it as a weapon. If you want to attack, it’s like playing a little at the counter or block using the opponent’s ball to meet.
The current candidates for back rubber were Tenergy 05 and Rakza X. Compared to Rakza X, Rakza X tends to be heavier due to individual differences, so it costs around 500 yen, but I felt that I liked Rosena better. Of course, the quality of loop drive and push is higher than that of Rakza X and Tenergy 05, but I think Rosena is better in terms of total balance and ease of handling.

Anyway, various techniques are easy to do!

To be honest, I didn’t expect it so far, but I didn’t have any difficult technology. I felt like I was holding the ball a little too much, but it was very easy to do loop drive, speed drive, block, counter, stop. I personally found it easy to do with blocks, which was pretty easy to do! I felt the flexibility to enter if I hit it. There was a feeling that the entire rubber absorbed the power of the opponent’s ball. The only thing I felt was that when I tried to take the ball with just the seat, it felt like a slip, and I felt that this part was difficult to handle. I felt that it was a rubber that was firmly bitten into the sponge and hit.

The rally of the upper spin gives you a feeling of spring sponge!

At the time of the rally of the upper rotation, by playing while driving and biting while biting in, it was possible to reapply the upper rotation and it felt like it would fit on the opponent’s court, so it was a good impression. With Tenergy 05, I feel like I’m going over or going to the net if I don’t drive more. It is Tenergy 05 that makes it easy to feel the hardness, and if you just hit it, it will be difficult to exert power and you can only get a good ball by flying while rotating firmly. On the other hand, Rosena fits well just by playing, and it may be said that there is a part that seems to be Tenergy 64 or Tenergy 80. I don’t have any definite information about the grain shape of the sheet, but I think it’s a sheet that is closer to 64 or 80. Therefore, it was easy to hit a ball that accelerates while drawing an arc with less energy in the upper rotation rally. I think this arc and acceleration are like spring sponges. I think that being able to put out such a ball is a characteristic of Rosena and a good point.

Bring the ball with good bite!

I think the grain shape of the sheet is close to 64 or 80, but the sponge is a little soft and grips the ball very well. I felt that it was close to Tenergy 05. Therefore, it was easy to hit the loop drive. However, I felt the need to hit while considering the flight distance to some extent because it does not sink completely by rotation, not the feeling that anything can be entered by rotating and flying. This area seems to have different tastes, but I am convinced that it is a spring sponge rubber suitable for beginners and intermediates. I think that the good points of Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 80 (because katsuo000 has never used Tenergy 64) and the desired parts coexist in a well-balanced manner. From this Rosena, I felt that it was a rubber that could be changed to each Tenergy in order to use my own characteristics and frequently used techniques as weapons. On the other hand, I certainly felt disappointed when I wanted the features of Tenergy 05 and the features of Tenergy 64 as they were. Since it is a balanced type, Tenergy 80 may be the closest. I think it is difficult to obtain sharp performance. It’s a very well-balanced rubber, and I thought it could be recommended for Penholder who have to do anything.

Each technics review

Forehand

Light hit
You have a ball. I felt that it had a lot of spheres compared to Dignics 05.

Rally drive
It’s not particularly difficult to do, but I felt like I was going too far to the foreside because I had a ball. Is this used to it? Since the amount of rotation is the first time when it is bitten in, I felt that it was easy to apply rotation in the upper rotation rally and it could be dropped by rotation. Is this a place like a spring sponge?

Backhand

Light hit
It was very easy to do. It was a good impression to have a ball and the rubber absorbs it even if you push it unreasonably, so even if you push it forcibly, it will enter quite a bit. I think this is the one you can count on in the game.

Rally drive
Since the backhand is not good at my arm and footwork, the hitting point is easy to move back and forth and it is unstable, but Rosena was very nice with the rubber that absorbs the front and back of the hitting point. The quality may be low, but I was happy that I could get it if I tried to put it in anyway. Also, he was very easy to drive in front of the top of the front team and did not feel bad.

Loop (top spin) drive against back spin
Since it has the same ball as Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 05 FX, the ball quality is low, but it feels easy to control. I think that it is a rubber that is easy to make a loop drive of such a connection that connects firmly and attacks the next ball.

Speed drive against back spin
It was easy to drive speed because it was good to bite to some extent. Although I can’t expect the ball to sink as much as the Tenergy 05FX, it was a rubber that made me feel like I was hitting it.

Block
It was the block that I felt was the best compared to Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 05 FX. It was very easy to do and I was impressed. I think that the sponge is hard and the sheet is insensitive to the rotation of the other party in a good way.

Counter drive
I was impressed by the feeling that the counter was stable enough even if I caught the front of the top a little like meat. I think that it is a rubber that is a little difficult to drop by rotation, so on the contrary, I think that it is a rubber that has a meat-like way of hitting. I don’t think that the back is counter-driven by taking the plunge, so I felt that it was a rubber that fits the back in that sense as well.

Stop
The only thing I found difficult was the stop. It’s easy to play, so if you don’t touch the ball in a short time, I feel that it’s easy to receive the rotation of the opponent directly.

Push
Like the stop, it was difficult to rotate. It was a little difficult to bite in too well and overshoot, or slip on the contrary and make a net mistake.

Chiquita
It was easy to give and easy to do. However, I felt that it was not very powerful. If you are looking for power, it will be the Tenergy series.
