Tenergy 05 (Butterfly)

This is the first rubber to feature Butterfly’s new “Spring Sponge”. Spring Sponge feels hard yet its new technology allows it to hold the ball on the racket longer. Tenergy 05 combines this new explosive sponge with a new tensioned top-sheet with maximum surface grip.

The result is a rubber that produces massive amounts of spin on serves and topspin drives. Tenergy is also the fastest most explosive rubber in our line all without the use of any speed-glues or tuning. Tenergy will keep its speed throughout the life of the rubber without need for any special treatments. Finally a rubber that will make you feel like you are playing in the days of the 38 mm ball again!

This rubbers is awesome!
is fast, it has an incredible spin and you have control of the game near the table with this rubber.
Is great to serve and to looping but isn´t good to chop.
It requires a good blade and practice, to play well with this rubber :)

in my opinion, tenergy 05 is the best looping rubber to have. i like using this on amultart and mizutani blades. it is very good characteristic to loop on your forehand. it is very fast, as fast as speed glued rubbers. the topsheet is not very tacky, so it does no have max spin, but more than enough to do very deep spinny loops. the angle the ball hits off the rubber is very high, noticeably higher than most other rubbers. this makes tenergy 05 a very good rubber for looping underspin balls, because you can really lift it up and over teh net. it is okay for blocking, a little hard to control if you do not have good feeling.

The Tenergy 05 is an excepcional rubber. It's very spin frienly, it's powerful, but you can control the ball with it easily.
It's definitly the best rubber for the speed glue ban era.
If you are looking for an offensive rubber for your top spin or looping style of play, the 05 will be the right answer for you.

No, I didn't liked it very much. The throw was to high, and the sponge to hard.
The first loop and serves are great, but after that I couldn't do much. Blocking was ok, a bit difficult at the beginning but you will get used to it quite quickly.

Flicks were ok, although difficult to master because of the high trhow.

If you don't mind a high throw rubber with a lot of spin it is a good rubber. if you want to play fast, and have a lower throw this isn't the rubber for you.
