I am new to the T05 being a player that had come from H3, 09c, G1 as my preferred playing rubbers. I went 1.9m as I was concerned about the talked about difficulty about this rubber....and I have been surprised that all the fear was unfounded for me. I have found this rubber easy to control and very consistent, allowing me to play with confidence and aggression. I like to attack and drive my opponent away from the table and this rubber is strong for this, particularly with open up attacks. It makes a great clicking sound which is a great audio reference to your technique being correct. I have found the 1.9 very good at the short game and able to apply lots of spin. I think the thinner sponge works better for me coming from Low to no catapult setups as I feel very confident near and away from the table with this rubber. Potentially the max versions might be a bit harder for me to control and impact my short game, but I have to say, the amount of grip you get on the ball for me seems to overcome these concerns people talk about. Serving is excellent and it receives very well....I have a feeling from a spin sensitive point of view, if you are a passive player you will have problems, but if you like to apply spin actively, then it works. I would say the 09c is faster as it is a harder rubber so you can transfer more power into your shots, but I would say the T05 is easier to generate speed in general so your shots are consistently faster with the T05 is a match situation. I find the 09c is ordinary in softer,.passive shots where are the T05 helps you out more. First impressions are that it is a very user friendly rubber if you like to play more offensive. If you are worried about it from all the talk...just go the 1.9mm...I have found it easy to control.

Butterfly Dignics 09C vs Butterfly Tenergy 05
TENERGY: Excellent for Imparting Spin on the Ball
TENERGY 05 has a unique feeling using a combination of Spring Sponge technology, High Tension rubber and a tacky surface. It is excellent for imparting a great deal of spin on the ball. 05 in the name was adopted from Pimples Code No. 5. Tenergy 05 enables a full range of topspin play at or away from the table. It keeps its explosive power throughout the life of the rubber without the use of speed glue or boosting. Tenergy 05 is very popular among world-class table tennis players. European Champion Timo Boll uses Tenergy 05 on forehand and backhand.

Excellent for maximizing spin on loops. Speed is pretty good. I use my understanding of biomechanics to increase speed though. Recommended for intermediate player but not novice.
I bought this rubber and after 3 sessions, it lost most of it's spin. Also the the topsheet is stiffer the usual. I paid $71.00 per sheet. I won't go back to this rubber.
So, where to start with this one? I guess I’ll start with the obvious and state that pretty much everything you’ve already read about this rubber is true…it’s phenomenal. However there is no such thing as a free lunch, and what this rubber costs you is control and forgiveness in exchange for the nastiest, spiniest arc I’ve yet to play with. This rubber has a higher, more biting arc that kicks like a donkey when it hits the table. I drew more errors off of this rubber than anything else I’ve played with yet. But here’s the trick for me, when I played up against better competition I needed better control and less speed and catapult because all the incoming pace I was already seeing. Against lower competition, I drew errors. Against higher competition, they drew errors. So where does that leave me? In the right hands of someone more advanced than me, it’s perfect. But for right now and where I’m at, I need something more controllable like Tenergy19 or Vega X when I’m playing matches. I’ll keep this on a training blade in hopes of one day becoming worthy.
