External Review for Butterfly Tenergy 05 on October 31, 2016

I have used many rubbers trying to find ones that best suited my play style (2 winged shake hand attacker)(current set up is viscera t05 on forehand and t80fx on backhand) and was really struggling to find something that had as much spin as hurricane but as much pop and speed and donic m1. well i found it but at a cost. although it is not as skinny as hurricane it does have the speed of m1 but with an absolutely massive amount of spin comparably. the real difference between this and other rubbers comes from the speedy sponge and the skinny top sheet.

Spin - absolutely insane amount of spin but inly when you hit hard enough to activate the sponge, this becomes quite challenging especially on serve.
Speed - really fast there are faster those don't have as many gears.
Short game/flicks - really good at both but you have to have a very gentle touch because if you hit the sponge the ball goes long on short push which opens an opportunity for your opponent.
Blocking - hard but manageable if you really practice like I have you can but it does take time.

Is it worth the price - yes it is for me, but it depends on your play style if you play close to medium range with heavy speed and spin this is the rubber for you forehand or backhand. i prefer forehand because this rubber is hard to block with.
