Ratings for 2.1mm. Played for 1 year with Tenergy 80 on forehand and Tenergy 05 FX on backhand of Timo Boll ZLF. Tenergy 05 FX is a softer version of Tenergy 05. There is less spin and the speed is about the same. The softness adds more dwell time. Top gear of this rubber is not as crazy as Tenergy 05 or Tenergy 80. The rubber will bottom out when you hit hard or from far away because it's too soft, the number of gears is lower. The extra dwell time allows you to control blocks better, but this is a bouncy rubber like other tenergies so the short game is not better than harder tenergies. It weighs 45g. I prefer harder rubbers because of extra gears they provide. You can get away with worse technique with this rubber because of extra dwell time, but it will not help you in the long run if you are trying to improve. Still, if you are into soft rubbers on stiffer blades perhaps, this can work. The price is way too high. Enjoy playing!

Im using this rubber on bh , i dont like it for fh ... it has little lower throw then t05 .. its little bit slower, but control its bigger on bh u can do allmost everything (and defensive strokes)..i recommend it for all round top spin / loop attacker and its also good for counters and blocks(this characteristic is simular on 05),for advanced players , not for beginers upd - its a lot better for reciving serves than normal t05.. flicks from table are fast, it has high throw , but not high like t05... and u can give a lot of rotation.. for me its bh rubber, but a lot 1st ligue and superligue players use it for forehand...

Softer than the normal 05, thus it gives you more spin, a little bit less speed, but it's also more sensitive to incoming spin. Personally, I'd recommend the 05 over the FX version, but it varies from player to player. It might have slightly more control, but if you're a CONSISTENT looper (can loop over 20x in a row without much trouble) I'd get the 05.

I really have to say, I love this rubber, but I'm just not there yet, the rubber can do unbelievable things, speed is blistering, shots are direct even when you are far away from the table, the big draw back is that you have to stay on offense, you cannot switch to a defensive game because this rubber is very unforgiving, your strokes must be flawless or the ball will be way off the table, you cannot block, you must counter drive, if you try to block you will most likely be punished because the rebound angle is high, once you have mastered an attacking game, I cannot imagine there would be a better rubber. All my friends ask "what rubber is that" , because the shots are so direct and blazing fast,

OVERALL: 9.0/10 Surprisingly slow for tenergy series this rubber is for players who want to play big slower more spinny loops rather than fast play. Spin is awesome control is ok considering it is a rubber for advanced players. Serves a loaded with spin as well with pushes and chops. Many choppers use it on FH because it has great versatility between looping and chopping with a lot of spin. Great rubber only problem is price of $67 per sheet. You can get rubbers close to quality of this for cheaper.

I bought this for my BH, and at first I wasn't too impressed. It's advertised as being a "control" version of Tenergy, but it is still quite fast and is very attack-oriented. I had to adjust a bit at first to compensate for the catapult from the sponge.
Once I adjusted my stroke, I felt like I can do anything with this rubber. BH flicks, opening loops, drives, blocks were all very confident and effective.
I flipped my racket around and started using it on my FH and I think I like it even more. Even from very close to the table, I feel like I can load up my attack shots and not miss. It is without a doubt the best rubber I've experienced for looping backspin balls.
Even if I don't make optimal contact, my shots feel very effective, and many of my opponents couldn't deal with my opening loops.

Idale pour un jeux la table tout en placement de balle, rotation. Vitesse progressive suivant le touch de balle. Durabilit correcte si on prend soin. Plus de 6 mois pour de lentrainement / 3 mois si on veut utiliser tout leur potentiel en comptition.

So... shockingly, I've been taking good care of my paddle these last few years. At times, I've played everyday... other times, once a month or less. I've had these rubbers on my paddle for the last four years. I've been using the Butterfly Rubber Film, and then placing the paddle in a paddle cover. I kept hearing that these will dry up in no time... but my paddle is still in great condition, and I don't see a need to replace the rubber yet. Maybe next year. By the way, these pads have been far more stickier and than other paddles I've tried... so much so... that I have a hard time playing with anything else than these. Also these have enough bounce for me to reflect the ball back on the back hand with a slight push. I use these on my forehand and also the backhand.

Great alternative for players who think Tenergy 05 is so hard and not easy to control. It has the same great spin potential as 05 but is not so fast, is not too bouncy. Better overall control and easier short play and play above the table.

I'm really impressed by this rubber, playing it in 1.7 mm/FH. It's fast (maybe a bit too fast for me, tbh) but easily controllable. I'd say its base speed is not very high but when you hit harder it gets really speedy, especially away from the table. The amount of spin I can generate with it is tremendous, got no other rubber like this. It's absolutely not for beginners, though, you have to have your angles and movements right. I find it quite hard to lift backspin shots. I'll keep this rubber in mind for when I play better.

I recently got Tenergy 05fx 1.9mm for my forehand. I loop, chop, block, flat hit with my forehand so my rubber has to keep up with everything. This rubber is the best for my playing style. You can't attack all the time so you have to have a controlled play to look for a counter. This rubber does it all. I totally recommend this for all-around to offensive players with some experience.

He podido probar esta goma montada en una madera Peter Korbel SK7 Es la goma ms equilibrada que he probado, velocidad parecida a la Rasanter R47 pero con menos efecto de giro. Aunque su arco es mas alto y eso compensa los mates fuertes... Jugar puntos de larga duracin es muy divertido, su punto fuerte es la media distancia, cerca de la mesa necesita toques muy suaves, si te pasas de fuerza se va fuera. Una gran goma para jugadores intermedios... posiblemente sea mi prxima goma..

Awesome rubber i can literally do anything with this rubber except for flat hitting(which with proper training should not be a problem).Ball just flies off the bat so no need to exert force the spring sponge will do it for you..you just have to give it proper parabolic trajectory and boom the ball goes very fast and bouncy.Your opponents will be caught off gaurd gauranteed .This rubber i can suggest mainly for backhand since its very unforgiving

Good rubber, but it's still to fast for me. I think the spring sponge technology give the springy feels when hitting the ball. But it's still too springy. But now I understand why many pros like to use tenergy rubber.

Requires less effort than Tenergy 05. Typical soft rubber benefits like dwell time, and more spin/speed on slower shots. Lower throw angle than 05. Not as strong for drives or loops.
Better for chop than 05. Surprisingly more difficult to block.

There is all kind of crap circulating around about this rubber. I don't know if those who call it overrated, etc, have tried dozens of other rubbers, each one for months or even years of intensive training, or if they have already found at least the blade that fits their individual style of play, but if so, they must have purchased their T05FX at the local butcher's, as it is a masterpiece. Kicks as it has to, formidable blocks, enough spin, and smashes like a sledgehammer. Even kids play with it in our team, and they love it, no problem once used to, after a few hours of play. Definitely a European-style rubber, for looping, killing, enjoying. Enjoy!

T-05 FX imho is a better rubber than T-05 for an average advanced amateur player. T-05 is very sensitive (to the incoming spin, that is) and is not easy to control in short game. T-05 FX is still pretty sensitive but its overall control is better, and it makes up for it in other qualities. It is slightly slower than regular T-05, has about same throw angle. Plays beautifully on BH, great blocking, and opening loops are much easier. However if your blade (overall speed) is not fast enough you might have some problems adjusting your kill-loops. The positive side is that you can put this one on very fast blades like Amultart or Schlager Carbon and the combo will behave in a pretty good manner (control-wise).
Don't forget that virtually all Tenergy rubbers require attention and constant working-the-ball approach - you cannot get lazy. T-05 FX is slightly better in that regard but still it will punish you for careless pushes or if you simply put the racket in front of a spinny ball.

Compared to tibhar sinus , and genius and sriver fx and mark V ( with glue ) this one does everything better except flat hitting, u need to use spin to control the ball, without spin, the high throw angle is a bit unpredictable. this rubber excells for topspin, counter topspin, serving and blocking, the short game is not so easy, but still ok. for the moment my favourite rubber, between FX and normal version, i prefer the FX definetly more control, i use a gergerly blade. i also like the genius a lot but on my gergerly its too fast compared with tenergy......

A softer version of T05, this one has a different (softer) sponge, unlike the rest of the Tenergy range which use identical sponges.
This makes it lighter (but only slightly - still heavier than most), loses a bit of top speed, and has a slight click to it if you try hard enough (if you're into your clicky noise rubbers).
It's being marketed as the "control" version of Tenergy, but be careful with that. It's still quick, still reacts strongly to incoming spin, and the short game is still tricky. But I found it much easier when hitting, driving over the table and (crucually) blocking.
If you've adjusted to regular Tenergy's quirks, but want something with a touch more control (say, on the backhand side), then this is worth a go. But it's definitely not an allround control rubber.

It works well with stiffer blades. If you find it 2 springy, use regular 05. I think it is a bit 2 soft for forehand. Probably the best backhand rubber, banana flicks are way better with this one than regular 05, easier to perform, other than that regular Ten05 is better to me. On soft, flexible blades it can be really spin sensitive and hard to control. Not that good for beginners. I would say since it doesn't provide that good of a blade feeling compared to other soft rubbers from this range of hardness. I would say you need blade with really good feeling and control if you wanna start with this one as your BH rubber. I can defnitely get a better feedback from Ten05FX on blades that have harder outer ply. To me it is one of the top BH rubbers. It is not as "feedback-y", explosive and ball bending as XIOM Vega Europe, but it is overall more direct and better if you have proper technique.

Comparing it to Tenergy 05, it is an even easier to play with rubber. For me it was way too soft on the forehand, but for the backhand it felt too fast. I like the control of it, but the high throw angle made it too easy for my opponents. I could impart a lot of Spin in my shots with this. In the end I stopped playing with it, as it was too expensive and too soft for my liking.

I started playing table tennis in a club months ago. There I received my first more serious racket, two 05FXs with an Alpha blade. Everything I got was already used, so I couldn't feel their full potential and maximum, but what I could feel that it is a good rubber. It has a soft feeling with plenty of spin. The speed is average, although might be a bit slow for me. The control is okay, if you have the right technique and touch you will not suffer big problems with such things like returning a serve. Definitely this is a rubber for a beginner+ or an intermediate- player, paired with an average blade.

An excellent rubber for advanced players, but beginners and intermediates should choose something more forgiving if they want to play with a soft tensor (Rakza 07 Soft is a good alternative). Tenergy 05FX has monster spin, kicks like a mule, great for serving, blocks well (at least for me, though others complain), and the softness gives extra dwell and confidence compared to other Tenergies, though it still requires some time to master the soft touches. It also chops well on the right blade, especially in thinner sponges. Loops, predictably, are of the can't miss variety, and it has great gears as well. Too fast and bouncy for me personally, and the price is way too high, too, but worth the money for serious league players with good technique who get regular table time and want a (slightly!) tamer Tenergy.

I have always played FH centered. This rubber is perfect for my BH because i get the controll I need to puch and open the point, and then let my FH do the job. I have not learn to use the speed, I am trying to use the spin to get the ball up and end it with my forehand. I dont use it to do BH serve, not even i doubble, I am spining my racket to get my FH side DHS gold arc 8 so get even more spin ore speed.

Just like Tenergy 05, this rubber is not for beginners. It's pretty hard to control, especially on short strokes. But, overall, it's a great rubber for advanced players who already have a good technique. As for me, it's overpriced, you can get? say, Xiom or Yasaka tensors at much lower cost.

Blade : Cornilleau Hinotec OFF+ carbon ; 1.9mm; black; 43g. BackHand (BH). First impression : very similar to Rasanter R42. High dwell time, "click" sound when playing mid distance. Quite high/medium throw angle, not so speedy, but faster than TSP Ventus spin (this one has the lowest sponge hardness, it is like slippers !). Good in block, good for chikita, but not fast. If you are looking for a secure rubber for spin at mid distance, T05 is better. If you play all-round, T05-FX is maybe a good choice, but pricy. Maybe better to consider R42 which is very closed to T05-FX and less expensive. Not convinced.

In my opinion this is the best rubber on BTY Spirit blade. Supreme for looping close/ mid. After a short adjustment period your play will have great spin, good control, and plenty of speed even with 1.9 thickness. Side spin loops have severe break. Service return can be tricky until you learn to tame it. Sensitive to spin but better than regular T05. Not for beginners. Great for BH and FH. Blocking is very good however flat hitting needs adjustment in your stroke. Medium-high throw with a slight click sound when new. Great spin on serves. Works outstanding on Spirit blade but also as a BH rubber on BTY M. Maze. A superb rubber from butterfly.

This is hands down the best backhand rubber I have ever used. I can topspin anything with this, as well as counter-loop. The only downside to this rubber is that it is terrible for flat blocks and hits, but if you add your own topspin to these shots, they become more consistent and lethal.

This FX Tenergy version is good for blocking and the short game. It's a little bit slower and for me, harder to generate spin with. You have to generate a fair amount of spin in your counterstrokes otherwise the ball trajectory will be to high and your oponent will put the ball away..easily.

I have used this rubber a couple of times on my robot and I am slowly getting used to it. I was originally using express 2 1.8mm sponge on my forehand but now I have switched to tenergy 05 fx. I did not use free chack to glue it but I did use joola x glue. The rubber is certainly not slow but it is not as fast as the 05. Topspinning backspin ball is a lot easier due to the softer sponge.

Great rubber for allround (BH) play. Tremendous spin. Great for opening shots with spin. Outstanding feel close and far from the table. If combined with a hard OFF- blade, it also provides decent hitting power. Rubber is brittle and crumbles quickly. The 'honey period' of this rubber is short (less than 2 months), as it kind of 'dies' (=slows down) after some time. It is a heavy rubber. There are rubbers with better quality:price ratios out there.
