External Review for Butterfly Tenergy 25 on August 25, 2010

Been using this rubber for a year now. I was previously a tenergy 05 user. They are pretty much the same, but with different topsheets. 25 has the large pimple topsheet, which makes it less reactive compared to 05. That means you need to loop with better technique, full stroke, and power. Passive looping or little effort loops are not recommended. With 05 you can loop underspin with a little flick and flat hit with soft effort, can't do that with 25. So it may take time to find or adjust the stroke. It took me about a month or so to adjust my strokes. 25 lasts very long, maybe even longer than 05, maybe because of the bigger pimples. The first few weeks the topsheet is a little sticky, so some people will say 25 lasts only a week. But I think these people are brushing too much and have not figured out the rubber. I think tenergy 25 is only suited for the close to table power looper. Unlike, 05 which can accompany almost any style. However, I don't recommend any of the tenergy series for players under 1600 usatt. You need a solid foundation before you can build a tower.
