Butterfly Glayzer 09C – High-Friction Hybrid Rubber for Spin and Control
Butterfly Glayzer 09C is a high-friction, hybrid pimples-in table tennis rubber designed for players seeking strong spin, high control, and stability. Featuring a Spring Sponge X sponge, a medium-tacky topsheet based on Dignics 09C technology, and a High Tension effect, Glayzer 09C delivers powerful topspin shots, consistent trajectories, and excellent handling both in offensive and short game play. Made in Japan and ITTF-approved, this rubber is an ideal choice for beginner attackers, all-round players, and defenders, especially for use with 40+ plastic balls.

Butterfly Glayzer 09C stands out with advanced technologies balancing spin, control, and durability, matching modern table tennis demands:
• Sponge (42°): Made with Spring Sponge X technology, this medium-hard sponge (42° on the Butterfly scale, approx. 48–50° on the ESN scale) is also used in the Dignics series. Spring Sponge X is 14% more elastic and 3% more shock-resistant than the traditional Spring Sponge, offering a powerful yet controlled "catapult" effect. Compared to Dignics 09C (44°), Glayzer 09C's sponge is slightly softer, providing greater control and less rebound, making it suitable for beginners and all-round players.
• Medium-Tacky Topsheet: Based on Dignics 09C topsheet technology, the medium tackiness extends ball dwell time and ensures exceptional grip. The surface is wear-resistant, durable, and optimized for plastic balls, enabling high spin generation and consistent trajectories. Compared to Tenergy 05, Glayzer 09C is tackier, offering more spin potential but slightly less speed.
• Pimple Structure: Features medium-length, densely arranged pimples based on the Dignics 09C geometry (No. 209). This ensures high spin and control, suitable for topspins, serves, and short game. Compared to the original Glayzer (No. 05 pimples), Glayzer 09C's structure is more spin-oriented, ideal for rally-oriented players.
• High Tension Effect: The topsheet incorporates High Tension technology, stretching the rubber to enhance elasticity and spin potential. Unlike Dignics 09C, Glayzer 09C has a milder High Tension effect focused more on control than maximum speed, making it easier to handle for beginners and all-rounders.
Available Sponge Thickness Options:
• 1.9 mm – for controlled strokes and backhand play
• 2.1 mm – for maximum spin and forehand power
The rubber is lightweight (uncut ~60g, cut ~40–45g), similar to Dignics 09C or Yasaka Rakza Z. Color options – red and black – comply with ITTF standards. Butterfly recommends using Free Chack glue for optimal bonding.
Technical Performance Optimized for Spin-Control Playstyle:
• Speed: 75/100 – A medium-slow rubber, suitable for looping, counter-attacks, and short game. Compared to Glayzer (81/100), Glayzer 09C is slower due to its tacky topsheet but offers more spin and control, ideal for rally-focused play.
• Spin: 87/100 – Produces very strong spin on topspins, serves, and loops against backspin. While slightly lower in spin than Dignics 09C (~90/100), the tacky surface creates disruptive effects and excellent grip.
• Control: While not numerically rated, control is very high due to the tacky surface, long ball contact, and softer sponge. Compared to Tenergy 05 (~6/10 control), Glayzer 09C is easier to manage, suitable for both offense and short play.
• Trajectory: 95/100 – High, arcing trajectory provides stability and safety over the net. Higher than both Glayzer and Tenergy 05, this makes it ideal for rally players and defenders. Users emphasize the rubber’s "safety," "control," and "grip," especially in loops and serves.
Versatility Across Blades – Optimized Combinations:
• Butterfly Timo Boll ALC: Adds speed to loops, ideal for attackers
• Butterfly Innerforce Layer ZLF: Balanced for spin and control, great for all-rounders
• Butterfly Hadraw Shield: Enhances stability, suited to defenders and choppers
• Butterfly Petr Korbel: Improves feel, ideal for looping and technique development
Also compatible with wooden blades like Yasaka Sweden Extra, as the Spring Sponge X and tacky surface compensate for lower blade elasticity, providing added spin and control. Users recommend Glayzer 09C for forehand (2.1 mm) for maximum spin and backhand (1.9 mm) for more control in short play. The rubber is optimized for plastic balls – the tacky surface efficiently generates spin and high arc trajectories.
Butterfly Glayzer 09C – Made for Players Focused on Spin and Control:
• Beginner attackers (1–5 years’ experience): Learn technical topspin strokes with high control
• Advanced all-rounders (5+ years’ experience): Balanced performance for rallies and short game
• Defenders: Strong backspin and stability in counter-play
• Rally Play: Mid-distance looping, far-distance counterattacks
• Short Game: Flicks, precise receives, controlled blocks
• Serves and Receives: Tacky topsheet generates tricky high-spin serves and precise receives
Performance Ratings:
• Looping: 8.9/10 – Strong spin and high trajectory
• Serves: 9.0/10 – Grippy and deceptive
• Receives: 9.1/10 – Accurate and spinny
• Short Game: 8.7/10 – Excellent control and fast responses
• Blocking: 8.5/10 – Stable vs. topspins
Compared to Dignics 09C, Glayzer 09C is more manageable and suitable for a wider range of players. Users praise the rubber’s “grip,” “control,” and “safety,” especially during serves and rallies.
Butterfly Glayzer 09C – A Spin-Dominant Hybrid Rubber:
• Speed (75/100): Suitable for looping and short play
• Spin (87/100): Extremely strong for topspins and serves
• Control: Very high – consistent and safe performance
• Spring Sponge X: Balanced catapult effect with stability
• Dignics 09C Topsheet: Tackiness, spin, and durability
• Japanese Quality: ITTF-approved and crafted with Butterfly excellence
Compared to Tenergy 05, Glayzer 09C is slower but more controlled with stronger spin. Compared to Yasaka Rakza Z, it offers better control and a higher trajectory. Users repeatedly highlight the rubber’s “grip,” “control,” and “safety.”
