Hybrid K3

[@crazydancerhh]

Blade Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce ALC, Dignics 09c FH, Glayzer BH for me it has a nice touch, but needs training time at the start. But it helped me to develop my game and i can still develop it further with it. I am surprised that i don't need to change my material as i make big steps forward in my table tennis skills.

About to order Glayzer 09c and Fastarc G-1

[@MrMagJon]

I've been playing Glayzer on fh and glayzer 09c on backhand since they came out on April 1st on my Fan Zhendong ALC. Was playing Rozena before both sides. Oh maaan did my backhand improve tremendously with the glayzer 09c. I can just rip through the ball with spin and confidence and just "go for the shot". Compared to Rozena the glayzer 09c has much more spin but is quite a bit slower in softer strokes and has lots of control as well. If you go harder the 09c can hit very fast balls as well. Glayzer on fh is a little different though. Compared to Rozena it has more spin and therefore potential to play more dangerous shots. Speed is a little less but has more quality and "venom" in its strokes. BUT it's less forgiving than rozena. You have to be more aware of your positioning, how you angle your racket and how you hit the ball. Rozena is much more forgiving in that regard. Still, even the normal Glayzer is a rubber with lots of control, especially if you compare it to many other rubbers like T05 or MXP. Glayzer 09c stays on my backhand FOR SURE. It's absolutely amazing and my bh is now almost more dangerous than my fh, it was the complete opposite before! Regarding fh, i might try out some different rubbers like Fastarc G-1 and even give Glayzer 09c a proper testing on FH.

[@halter777]

Any updates? :)

[@fu6108]

I use the Glayzer 09c on my backhand for a few weeks. It brought me much more control and my blocking game is significantly better. Just going through the ball combined with using the wrist. But with all positiv things you have to consider that the rubber needs active strokes. If you don't do this the ball will fall into the net. I'm totally fine with this. It shows me where I do something wrong and this very directly.

[@sashbar]

Have you played with Rakza 7 before and could you compare these two?

[@fu6108]

@@sashbar No sadly not. I only read a little bit about Rakza 7. There is also a video kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3iwqKp_hK2YaM0 where you find the main points of this rubber.

[@aerotus888]

I have played both. R7 is spinny and controllable but if you play at a higher level and want more spin and control during power shots than G09c is much better choice. G09c is better for people who can spin the ball, R7 is better for people who play more all round game. G09c is more demanding to play as you have to be very active and use longer more powerful strokes as it's slower.

[@libmananchannel]

Hello "TableTennisDaily"! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful video! I feel so happy! I'm looking forward to your next work! Have a nice day!

[@kamarmccurdy-batik98]

I use the petr korbel blade with tenergy 05 FH and dignics 05 BH which is a fantastic combo, the amount of speed and spin those 2 rubbers produce is just insane I would love to try the Glazer 09C. Thanks for the review it's very useful.

[@mesuta.3997]

I am intermediate player. Used Dignics09c on FH and G09c on my BH with an innerlayer carbon blade for a year 5 hours a week. Both good control and spin. Lasted for the whole season. As I get exhausted quickly with this combination I switched my blade to FZD Alc. Same control, spin and blocking, more powerful game for me. For my experience G09c has very similar specs w D09c but a bit slower.

Wow Guys where have you been? Finally you are back to reviewing kit,,,Yippee

[@martinkosabek5351]

The Glayzer 09c is really slow and you have to put a lot of effort into your shots to gain enough tempo. The Glayzer ist much more controllable as the Dignixs 05 and more forgiving. Spin and tempo are below Dignics 05, but I have so much more confidence in my topspins since I play Glayzer on my FH. The only thing I really miss is the Spin in my Serve. Rubbers like Dignics 05, Dignics 80, Dignics 09c or Tenergy 05 have defenitly

[@randominternetdude6]

wow super interesting i've been playing with the Rakza Z on my Bh side for almost a year now and i am loving it. The TTD ratings make it look like the Glayzer09C is the same or better in every category. maybe the hardness of the Rakza z is better for me or else I might have to switch. Thanks for the review guys

[@surdzo]

Hi, I have Viscaria with D05 (FH) and D09C (BH) although it is good combo and better players was impressed it is too much for me (for now 🙂) I intend to purchase Petr Korbel (Japan) and put Glayzer (FH) and Glayzer 09C (BH) my question is would it be good combo or should I consider something like Innerforce ALC (or Harimoto ver.) for this rubber combo. My BH is good but my FH is not so. I want more control from blade and rubber.

[@jedsantiago4029]

Can you review the nittaku fastarc G-1?

[@Diabolosyl]

Well, interesting. I receive a Dignics 09C I use this season in my forehand and I am quite happy with it. Not the fastest one but a lot of control and precise shots follow. But it is really expensive so I think about these Glayer when I will have to replace it. I fear I will lose speed and grip with the Glayzer. For the moment, I only need a forehand as I have a long pimple in the backhand but I will maybe come back to two backsides... depending on what I intend to do next season. After years with a LP... it won't be easy but I am not ready to put 80 € X2 for a racket ;-) Will I loose so much with the Glayzer ? Maybe more the normal than the 09C ?

[@bingxiong4885]

Donic C2 is also an impressive sticky rubber, Can you do a review on C2 as well?

[@aerotus888]

I switched to Glayzer09c after being a T05 user. Shortly after beat two players I always lose to. Definitely a lot more control with Glayzer09c and less mistakes being made vs T05. Hoping it lasts longer than T05 which was a disappointment once the topsheet wore off.

[@DoppelBobber292]

how long did tthe T05 lasts ? butterfly normly have longer playtime than other rubbers

[@aerotus888]

@@DoppelBobber292 that nice new feeling only lasted about 8 sessions of 3 hrs play. It starts to slowly lose control after that. Having said that, Glayzer09c requires a lot of energy to maximise and makes me tired as hell, so T05 on my fh is better for me as it does a lot more work for you. T05 is better for looping further from table. Glayzer works better when looping at the table.

[@Blackain66]

nice review but there is no way in hell the the Glacer 09c is faster than the similar Rakza Z (which is def. faster and better too)

[@frederikfaillie2393]

Thx for the interesting video. TTD: i have question: Currently i play with Andro TP Ligna CO OFF with Rassanter R42 on FH and Backside2.0 on BH. Although i love it, I realize this is maybe a bit above my level. I also have an old BTY Primorac OFF- with currently Donic Acuda S2 (FH) and S3 (BH). I feel I still need to work on my technique and play, so your recommendation that Glayzer and Glayzer 09C are ideal for that, caught my attention. I am seriously thinking about using my BTY primorac again for a while, which is a slower bat but gives consistency and control, but i am not sure which rubbers to put on. The acuda's are not completely wasted but they had the best of their time. I am not sure if it wise to keep the Acudas or change to BTY Glayzer. Would it be a good choice for the BTY Primorac or should i still better choose for eg Rozena, Tenergy, Dignics... I am a classic developing offensive player with a stronger/more consistent forehand than backhand, but when it comes to chosing rubbers, i lack knowledge... :) Thanks already. Kind regards, Fre

[@DaveVinylMusic]

First of all, thank you so much for all the videos. I've watched so many of them and I'm really impressed. Maybe you can help me - I want to switch completely to Butterfly rubbers and now I'm looking for a good forehand rubber that offers me a lot of control for topspin shots from mid-distance and for opening against backspin serves. On the backhand, I'm a strong blocker and counter player, who also likes to put pressure on opponent's topspin shots, but also use fast backhand topspins. What would you recommend for that? Best regards.

[@bronzong91]

These reviews are all well and good but the majority of table tennis matches are not played when you feel confident in your game because you are playing against a new unfamiliar opponent. In these situations, I feel like having a rubber that is slower would be more helpful. How to test this? Currently the comparisons are done one after the other in a very controlled setting - 5:01 in this video shows fh to bh down the line as the test. But would it not be better to compare them with an opponent you feel unfamiliar with? We all know that even though you feel amazing and have 100% confidence in training it doesn't translate to matches, and that the acid test for a rubber should be those situations where we feel uncomfortable because that is when we need the extra confidence to win, usually by keeping the ball on the table and not going for more risky winners.

Want to change my rakza 7 to tenergy 05 or dignics 09c. For better spin ..but rakza 7 is enough for me as of now

[@sashbar]

I used to play with R7 and also tried T05 and D09C which were too rich for my blood. In the end upgraded to GoldArc 8 47.5 and couldn't be happier. It's very easy to adjust after R7, as it feels somewhat similar and controlled, but you really add venom to your shots. It's grippier, spinnier, faster and has a bit higher throw angle. A bit bouncy, but not too much. Great great rubber.

[@longtreecityltc9325]

I like softer rubbers such as these. Good to see you will review them too. I wonder how this rubber compere with the Rakza 7 soft.

[@halter777]

they are not soft rubbers, just a bit softer than the dignics. The glayzer is 48° european scale, and rakza 7 soft is around 42.5, so quite the differnce

[@longtreecityltc9325]

[@luongmxnh]

I've been playing my Viscaria with andro rasanter r42/r45 now and I need new rubbers for the upcoming season. From your review ... How does it compare to the Glyzer / 09c? The rubber hardness is apparently the same and looks like they are fairly similar. However, I have the feeling that the Glyzer series is far slower than the Rasanter but has its strengths in blocking and controlling the ball. Am I right? Would love to hear your opinion on this. Cheers!

[@Keean_TTRealm]

It’s excellent with Viscaria ! I’m currently using the G09C on the bh :)

[@luongmxnh]

@@Keean_TTRealm I can imagine it being excellent with the Visacria. I just have my doubts that it's worth the price jump from the rasanter being around 30% cheaper

[@Keean_TTRealm]

Hmm .. I’ve played with the Dignics 05 & 09C extensively and the MX-D (which is probably closer to the Rasanter). So I can say that the Glayzers are both really up there in terms of similarity to what it’s bigger bros (Dignics) can offer. Definitely NOT on par with performance values such as the spin & speed potential, but VERY close. I would say a solid 75% similarity. It’s base speed is a little less than MX-D but I feel it has better spin potential and durability seems to be much better. Surprisingly, a well balanced value for money rubber from Butterfly IMHO. Better than the Rozena / Aibiss etc in the same price tier for sure.

[@z0uLess]

I've been playing for 2,5 years and studying the game, but I still dont know what throw angle is

[@kevziro]

How high the ball leaves the rubber after contact.

[@deangur]

It's a bit weird that the softer of the 2 is also the faster, no? Is it because the 09c is more "Chinese" in style? Also, which one do you think will better fit forehand/backhand for a classic developing offensive player with a stronger/more consistent forehand than backhand?

[@mrWade101]

Pretty sure softer rubbers are faster in general, because the ball bottoms out quicker.

[@deangur]

@@mrWade101 I think in classical European rubbers harder is usually faster, for example take the Andro R series or the Donic Bluefire - they have several rubbers ranked by speed, and the faster ones are always harder

No. It's not. I've used both. Rakza 7 is far softer and generates spin more easily at lower speeds. Glayzer09c takes more technique and strength to get the best out of. It is 2/3s like a Chinese rubber like Hurricane 3 as it is easier to use but much lighter.

[@Afropalmen]

It is Dignics on a Budget. But the rubber is still to expensive for how budget it accualy is..... like it shoulden't cost more then like around 35. Main issue is you get no spin on the rubber. You get the arc but the spin dies so fast. That's why it feels so easy to "block back" since 1. Dan/Tom aren't getting as much spin on the ball as they normaly do. And it's not as sencitive as there normals rubbers. It's NOT a bad rubber. Just felt it's to overpriced for what it offers. It's like a Rakza 7 lowkey

[@sashbar]

Could you please elaborate on how does Gl / Gl 09 compare to Rakza7? I've been playing with R7 for a year, and it starts to feel bland to me, especially after I tried Dignics. Looks like Glayzer is similar to Goldarc 8.

[@Afropalmen]

Never tried Goldarc 8 as far as I know atleast. Rakza 7 to me is a rubber that is like 100% control and you get "meh" spin and speed. Like you get the ark but there is basicly no spin for the other person on the table. Glayzer felt the same. Alot of controll but you aren't winning shots becouse of your spin with it more placement 100% I haven't played with Rakza 7 in forever so don't know if I can compare them that well.. But I woulden't spend 59dollars or what it cost on it. Then you can spend the 45 on Rakza instead. But hey it can be alot of diff with the blade. I would if I where you rather w8 until someone @ your club buy and then try theres before you buy it :)

[@stefanreuter9626]

This rubbers are rubbish...

[@BiscoWho]

Mate, the reason Tom is better than you is mostly down to your insistence on using a blade and rubbers combo that's too fast for you. Tom uses a slower setup and is obviously more consistent, which beats amateurs at your level. With your playing style and technique, I'd say use an inner-ALC blade. Get one at about 85g too. Then, put Glayzer 09C on your forehand and Dignics 09C on your backhand. Would you like to place a hefty wager on whether you compete a lot better with that setup, or not? Just consider the professionals who you are most similar to in style, particularly where you tend to move and where you like to be located...They all use inner-ALC or inner-ZLC. You do not locate yourself like Timo does. Also, Butterfly and Timo probably hate it that Timo is better with the blade that was first recommended to him by ME, the Primorac Carbon. No doubt that it had to have hurt sales of the Boll ALC as Timo succeeded IMMEDIATELY upon changing blades. No doubt it hurt Timo's pockets in several ways. But anyway, do you remember what Timo exclaimed that one time you two were playing each other? "TOO PASSIVVVVEEEE", which was aimed at himself. Timo literally comes with the attack relentlessly. You never see him playing more than 1 passive shot at a time. He always tries to counter on his next shot. Timo is all about attacking and countering, never stopping applying the pressure. Dan, you do not have this mentality whatsoever. You will back up and absorb pressure whilst you wait for a good time to get ahead of the ball and counter it. So, why don't you accept this and focus on consistency, placement, variation, and sound tactics? You'll eventually find out that you're a significantly stronger player when you stop giving up easy points from your own unforced errors so much. They'll actually have to beat you in every point because you'll be able to get that ball back, and with solid quality every time, over and over, and that takes higher quality players to do that. It's something that gets in players' heads big time too. Makes them feel beaten, knowing they have to actually beat you, not just let you beat yourself.

You might be onto something bro, but imo he should only change the blade and leave the same rubbers as it might be too slow honestly. What do you think ?

Tom switched to stiga cybershape with stiga platnuim H which is a very fast set up and he not only controls it well but is playing even better with a faster set up. Tom is better due to many other factors not as related to equipment choice (like technique, power, stability, tactics). But Dan has improved significantly recently and I feel like you have no place to judge him or give him this kind of criticism

Pro players use different equipment based on their styles and demands. Many top chinese players use viscaria a faster outer carbon blade, many other europeans also prefer outer carbon blades, where as dima, fransiska and harimoto are probably the best using inner carbon. (I assume that harimoto uses the added control to support his block and small counter while dima and fransiska said they need more dwell time to really spin the ball and add their own force as they have strong techniques and don't need added speed). But again, many more use fast outer carbon blades (lin Yun Ju with super zlc, FZD with viscaria, Timo Boll etc) Also I think you are completely wrong about Dan's playstyle, he plays the way he does in reviews because he's testing rubbers or training, so sometimes he may mess around and hold longer rallies with seemingly more passive shots. In the real match situations and I'm sure when he seriously training he's far more aggressive, very good at looking for the 3rd ball attack on forehand and very strong counters. If you don't believe me you can watch his full matches. When he is in form he make very little errors too and has a very stable technique and counter even with his fast equipment Here is an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qam9oX6ppqZ4jK8 In short, I think you are way off the mark about everything you said, you sound like a far weaker and less knowledgeable player than Dan and have really no qualification to judge his equipment choices or skills
