Quick Summary

Butterfly Glayzer 09C is a high-friction offensive rubber engineered for topspin dominance and precision control. Positioned as a more accessible alternative to the Dignics series, the Glayzer 09C combines a tacky top sheet with a springy sponge, offering excellent spin generation and improved ease of use. It caters to intermediate to advanced players who rely on spin-heavy attacks but value stability and placement over extreme speed. Ideal for modern all-round attackers and loopers who prefer a grippy surface with a slightly harder feel.

Scoring Breakdown

Aspect	Rating	Explanation
Speed	4.0	Quick and responsive for a hybrid-tacky rubber, especially in topspin rallies. Slightly slower than full Euro tensors.
Spin	5.0	Excellent spin generation thanks to the tacky topsheet and high-friction grip. Ideal for brush looping.
Control	4.5	Very stable during passive play and rallies. Provides good feedback and ball placement reliability.
Grip / Tackiness	4.5	Hybrid surface, mild tackiness combined with a grippy texture, enhancing brush and loop capability.
Throw Angle	4.0	Medium to high arc, suitable for consistent topspin shots with safety margin over the net.
Dwell Time	4.0	Slightly extended dwell time helps in loading spin, especially on slower topspins or flicks.
Catapult Effect	3.0	Lower catapult compared to Tenergy series. Requires more active input on softer strokes.
Hardness Feel	4.0	Feels medium-hard with good bite. Not too stiff or too soft, balanced for two-winged attackers.
Durability	4.5	Retains grip and tack well over time with proper cleaning. High build quality.

Core Performance Aspects

Looping & Topspin Play

The tacky-grippy surface provides a reliable grip during brushing, resulting in heavy topspin with a consistent medium-high arc. Dwell time is long enough for openers and continuous loops without compromising pace. Spin-focused players will appreciate the stability and depth this rubber provides in topspin rallies.

Driving & Hitting

While not as explosive as rubbers with high catapult (e.g., Tenergy 64), Butterfly Glayzer 09C handles flat hits and direct drives with solid energy transfer. The harder sponge maintains linearity, meaning what you put in is what you get out. Smash shots feel crisp but require correct technique due to the lower built-in spring.

Blocking & Passive Play

Blocking is a strong suit of Glayzer 09C. The hybrid surface doesn’t react too sensitively to incoming spin, giving the user time to adjust and redirect with precision. Passive control is stable, especially on slow and medium-speed returns. Less forgiving than a soft rubber, but predictable in behavior.

Serve & Receive

Serves benefit from the tacky top sheet, short underspin, and fast topspin serves, which are easy to execute with high spin. On receives, the grip helps with flicks and controlled pushes. Placement is accurate, and the rubber doesn’t overreact to incoming spin unless mistimed.

Flicks & Short Game

Glayzer 09C offers sharp feedback during flicks and touch shots. Banana flicks land deep with spin. Pushing and drop shots stay low thanks to surface friction and sponge firmness.

Distance Play (Mid–Far Table)

At mid-distance, Glayzer 09C still produces powerful topspin with high arc. Far from the table, performance is solid but requires active effort due to its lower catapult. Players must engage more physically to maintain arc and speed during extended rallies.

Strategic Considerations

Comparison to Similar Rubbers

Compared to Dignics 09C, Glayzer 09C is more forgiving and user-friendly, especially in touch play and control. It lacks the sheer power of Tenergy 05, but it offers better short game stability. Versus Yasaka Rakza Z, Glayzer 09C feels slightly harder with a more compact trajectory.

Blade Compatibility

Best paired with flexible to medium blades (e.g., Innerforce ALC, Korbel). These enhance dwell time and help unlock the rubber’s spin potential. On hard or stiff carbon blades, it may feel overly rigid and direct, which can reduce control in touch play.

Ideal User Profile

Glayzer 09C is ideal for intermediate to advanced players who favor a spin-heavy attacking style. It suits loopers who stay close to mid-distance and balanced attackers who rely on placement and spin variation over brute force.

Butterfly Glayzer 09C delivers high spin performance, controlled arc, and excellent short-game precision thanks to its hybrid grippy surface and firm sponge. It offers a more accessible alternative to premium rubbers like Dignics 09C, while retaining serious offensive potential.

If you’re looking for a spin-oriented offensive rubber with a grippy, hybrid feel that balances power with control, the Butterfly Glayzer 09C is a strong contender. Check current availability and trusted retailers below to upgrade your setup today.
