Customer review for Butterfly Tenergy 05

Review by tjwilczek (Verified Customer) for Butterfly Tenergy 05 on July 5, 2025

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.
