External Review for Butterfly Tenergy 05 on November 20, 2008

Tenergy 05 did not perform well for me on the T-4 so I transplanted it to a Donic Chuan Senso Carbon.
Oh Yeah!! This is one great sheet o' rubber for top spin play, more for aggressive play than all around I think. It has at least as many gears as I am capable of asking it for and gives solid performance at any distance from the table.

05 excels at over the table loops and fast loops taken at the top of the bounce.
Good blocking and short game, smashing was good as far as I tested it, didn't do anything really challenging though.

Compared to Boost TC on the T-4, Tenergy 05 on the Chuan feels harder of course, and seems to be less controllable when under pressure and struggling to remain in the point. I liked the Tenergy/ Chuan combo better for close to the table attack and the T-4/TC combo better from mid distance. Both set-ups are good for either distance but the Tenergy gave a more positive feeling at the table while the TC was truly explosive from mid-distance, incredible speed and spin!

Update: After more time spent with the Tenergy/Chuan combo I am getting as good or better speed from mid-court as with the T-4/Boost combo.
The difference is now down to the "wilder" bounce with the Boost; side spin takes more effect with the Boost making for less predictable bounces. The Tenergy tends to have a straighter, more forward going bounce.
