External Review for Butterfly Tenergy 05-FX on October 23, 2013

T-05 FX imho is a better rubber than T-05 for an average advanced amateur player. T-05 is very sensitive (to the incoming spin, that is) and is not easy to control in short game. T-05 FX is still pretty sensitive but its overall control is better, and it makes up for it in other qualities. It is slightly slower than regular T-05, has about same throw angle. Plays beautifully on BH, great blocking, and opening loops are much easier. However if your blade (overall speed) is not fast enough you might have some problems adjusting your kill-loops. The positive side is that you can put this one on very fast blades like Amultart or Schlager Carbon and the combo will behave in a pretty good manner (control-wise).

Don't forget that virtually all Tenergy rubbers require attention and constant working-the-ball approach - you cannot get lazy. T-05 FX is slightly better in that regard but still it will punish you for careless pushes or if you simply put the racket in front of a spinny ball.
