Dignics 64 stands out with advanced technologies that elevate your game to a new level:
-
Spring Sponge X: An upgraded version of the original Spring Sponge, offering 14% more elasticity than previous Butterfly sponges. The 40-degree sponge (medium hardness on the European scale) is optimized for speed and power. It responds quickly to strokes, producing a noticeable “catapult” effect, especially during topspins and power shots.
-
Unique Top Sheet: Made from a special rubber compound that is 30% more wear-resistant than the Tenergy series. The sheet provides enhanced grip, allowing the ball to be “held” during impact, ensuring precise spin and a high trajectory.
-
Pimples Code No. 180: The pimple structure, based on Butterfly’s No. 180 design, is known for speed. Narrow pimples with medium density are optimized for fast, linear strokes like topspin vs. topspin, flat drives, and smashes.
Dignics 64 uses High Tension technology, which increases surface tension for more speed and elasticity. The sponge thickness options (2.3 mm, 2.1 mm, 1.9 mm) allow players to tailor the rubber to their style: thicker sponge (2.3 mm) for more powerful strokes, thinner sponge (1.9 mm) for faster close-to-table play.
Technical Performance Tailored for Aggressive Attack:
-
Speed: 90/100 (~13.5/20 on Butterfly’s scale). One of the fastest rubbers in Butterfly’s lineup, surpassing Tenergy 05 (13.2) and approaching Dignics 80 (13.8). Perfect for fast topspins, flat drives, and smashes—especially close to the table.
-
Spin: 79/100 (~11.5/20). Slightly less spin than Dignics 09C (12.0), but still delivers strong spin in looping topspins, especially during power strokes. Its grip enables high ball trajectories (84/100), aiding topspin play even against heavy spin.
-
Trajectory: High (84/100), suitable for players who prefer a high arc, allowing safe attacks from difficult positions. Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (with a flatter trajectory), Dignics 64 offers a more flexible arc.
Comparison Notes:
-
Versus Butterfly Tenergy 64: Dignics 64 is faster and more durable, with a stronger catapult effect but requires more precise technique due to reduced control (7.5/10). Users note it “comes alive” on full swings but can be tricky in short or passive play.
-
Sponge Hardness: At 40 degrees, Dignics 64 pairs best with stiff or medium-stiff blades, such as:
-
Butterfly Fan Zhendong ALC or Viscaria: Provide speed and high arc, ideal for topspin play.
-
DHS Hurricane Long 5: Adds extra power for looping, especially on the forehand.
-
Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon: Balances speed and control for all-round players.
-
It is not suited for slow or very flexible blades (e.g., Yasaka Sweden Extra), as the speed and hardness may be overwhelming. Users recommend using Dignics 64 on the forehand, with softer rubbers like Tenergy 05 or Dignics 80 on the backhand for easier short-game control.
Dignics 64 is made for high-level attacking players focusing on fast topspins, topspin vs. topspin, and power shots. Best suited for professionals and advanced players with strong technique, as its speed and limited control demand precision. It excels in close-to-table or mid-distance play, where speed and high trajectory rule rallies. Its grip also benefits serving (9/10) and serve reception, though blocking (7/10) requires active technique. Compared to Xiom Omega VII Pro, Dignics 64 is faster but less forgiving in short play.
Ideal for players like Fan Zhendong or Hugo Calderano, who prefer fast and aggressive play. Users describe the rubber as “laser-like” in its topspin accuracy but acknowledge the learning curve in passive shots.
Dignics 64 stands out as one of Butterfly’s fastest rubbers, offering:
-
High speed (90/100) and strong spin (79/100), ideal for topspin play
-
Durability: Reinforced top sheet lasts longer than the Tenergy series
-
High trajectory (84/100), helpful in attacking against heavy spin
-
Japanese quality: Precision-made and ITTF-approved for reliability
Compared to Dignics 05, Dignics 64 is faster and more linear, but less focused on extreme spin. Compared to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo, it’s faster and more versatile but not suited to sticky Chinese-style spin play. Users praise its durability (3–6 months of intense use) and catapult effect, but criticize the high price and limited control for beginners.
Dignics 64 is ITTF-approved and suitable for all competition levels. Its speed and spin potential make it dominant in rallies, especially with fast topspins and power shots. The strong grip aids service and reception, though blocking needs skill due to its hardness. It's a popular choice among professionals, especially for forehand use, and has proven itself in international tournaments.
Butterfly Dignics 64 – an elite offensive rubber combining speed, spin, and Japanese craftsmanship. Spring Sponge X, a reinforced top sheet, and No. 180 pimples deliver professional-grade performance. The perfect choice for players seeking fast, aggressive play with a high trajectory. Dignics 64 means power, precision, and a new level of the game.
