Customer review for Butterfly Tenergy 05-FX

External Review for Butterfly Tenergy 05-FX on June 21, 2018

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!
