Customer review for Butterfly Tenergy 05-FX

External Review for Butterfly Tenergy 05-FX on June 22, 2010

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.
