Butterfly Dignics 80 – Versatile High-Tension Table Tennis Rubber
A universal high-tension table tennis rubber designed for offensive players seeking the optimal balance of speed, spin, and control. Featuring the advanced Spring Sponge X technology, a highly grippy topsheet, and unique No. 180 pimple geometry, Dignics 80 delivers high performance across all aspects of the game. Made in Japan and ITTF approved, this rubber is an ideal choice for all-round players who want to excel both near the table and from mid- or long-distance, especially when using 40+ plastic balls.

Butterfly Dignics 80 features a modern construction that balances speed, spin, and durability to meet the demands of modern table tennis:

• Sponge (40°): Built using Spring Sponge X technology, the sponge is medium-hard (40° on Butterfly's scale, close to 50–52° ESN scale), with greater elasticity than the traditional Spring Sponge used in the Tenergy series. Spring Sponge X is 14% more elastic and 3% more impact-resistant, creating a strong "catapult" effect for increased speed and power transfer. Compared to Dignics 05 (also 40°), Dignics 80 offers a more balanced, versatile feel instead of maximum spin focus.
• Grippy Topsheet: The surface is highly grippy (not tacky) and features enhanced abrasion resistance for longevity and consistent performance. A specially designed topsheet composition extends ball contact time, giving a “holding” sensation that helps generate spin and precise strokes. Compared to Dignics 09C (medium tacky), Dignics 80 is less sticky but offers higher speed and flexibility for a wider range of shots.
• Pimples: The No. 180 pimple geometry balances speed and spin. Medium-length and thin with optimized spacing, the pimples transfer energy efficiently and create disruptive trajectories. Compared to Dignics 05 (No. 05 – spin-focused) and Dignics 64 (No. 64 – speed-focused), Dignics 80 sits in between, suitable for topspins, flat hits, and blocks alike.
• High Tension Technology: This Butterfly-exclusive tensioning system stretches the topsheet and sponge to increase elasticity and responsiveness. Combined with Spring Sponge X, it creates a dynamic feel that makes it easy to switch between attack and control. Unlike Tenergy 80, Dignics 80 has a firmer sponge and enhanced surface durability, lasting around 4–6 months with intensive use.

Available in 1.9 mm and 2.1 mm sponge thickness:
• 1.9 mm is ideal for fast blocks and controlled strokes.
• 2.1 mm maximizes speed and power.
The rubber is medium-weight (uncut ~70 g, cut ~48 g), similar to Tenergy 80 or Tibhar Evolution MX-P. Color options—red and black—meet ITTF competition standards.

Technical Ratings Tailored for Versatile Offensive Play:

• Speed: 88/100 – A fast rubber suitable for flat hits, topspins, counterattacks, and smashes. Slightly slower than Dignics 05 (~90/100), but offers greater control and versatility.
• Spin: 82/100 – Generates strong spin on topspins, serves, and loops against backspin. Though lower than Dignics 09C (~96/100), Dignics 80 compensates with faster response and easier handling.
• Control: 60/100 – Offers sufficient control for a high-tension rubber, especially in blocking, countering, and short game. Compared to Tenergy 80 (~65/100), Dignics 80 is less forgiving but offers more power and dynamism.
• Trajectory: High (86/100) – Features a curved arc that supports topspins and counterattacks from mid-distance. The arc is slightly lower than Dignics 05, but higher than Dignics 64, offering great stability and accuracy. Users praise its "versatility" and "stability", especially in counters and blocks.

Ideal Blade Pairings:

• Butterfly Timo Boll ALC: Adds extra speed and power to topspin shots.
• Butterfly Zhang Jike Super ZLC: Enhances spin and dynamics, suitable for aggressive players.
• Butterfly Innerforce Layer ZLC: Balances speed and control, ideal for all-round offensive play.
• Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive: Adds feel, great for looping-based play.

Also pairs well with all-wood blades like Butterfly Korbel, thanks to the high-tension sponge and topsheet, which compensate for softer blade response by adding power.
Recommended use:
• Forehand with 2.1 mm sponge for maximum speed and spin
• Backhand with 1.9 mm sponge for better blocking control.
Optimized for plastic balls, as the topsheet effectively generates spin and high trajectories.

Butterfly Dignics 80 is made for all-around offensive players who value balance between speed and spin:

• For advanced players seeking all-round topspin, blocking, and counterplay capability.
• For experienced players who want a rubber suited to multiple distances and shot types.
• Effective at all playing distances: mid-range looping, close-to-table blocks, long-distance counterloops.
• For all-around offense: disruptive serves, flat hits, counterlooping.

Performance Overview:
• Counterattacks: 8.8/10 – Fast response and stable sponge make it very effective.
• Blocking: 8.7/10 – Delivers precision and speed, especially against topspins.
• Serves: 8.5/10 – Grippy surface allows for solid spin generation.
• Topspins: 8.6/10 – High trajectories and strong power.

Compared to Dignics 05, Dignics 80 is more manageable and suitable for a wider range of players.
Users highlight the rubber’s “balance” and “reliability”, though it demands good technique in passive situations.

Butterfly Dignics 80 stands out as a universal offensive rubber:

• Speed (88/100): Suitable for flat hits and counterattacks
• Spin (82/100): Effective in topspins and serves
• Control (60/100): Provides stability in fast-paced play
• Spring Sponge X: Delivers powerful catapult effect and elasticity
• No. 180 pimples: Balanced design for various strokes
• Japanese quality: ITTF approved, crafted with Butterfly excellence

Compared to Tenergy 80, Dignics 80 is faster, with a firmer sponge and more durable topsheet. Compared to Tibhar Evolution MX-P, it offers more versatility and higher trajectories. Users emphasize the rubber’s “stability” and “balance”, especially during counterattacks and blocks.

Butterfly Dignics 80 is ITTF approved and suitable for high-level competitions—especially for players who demand both versatility and stability. Its speed and spin capabilities allow you to dominate rallies, particularly with counters and blocks.
