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 is a great rubber with outstanding spin and legendary status within the table tennis equipment market. It allows for great control whilst still being ridiculously fast and spinny, and has quite a high throw. When combined with an offensive blade it becomes quite a weapon.
The prohibiting factor is the high price, luckily it isn't as fragile as some of the tensor rubbers.

I have been using this rubber for quite some time now and it feels great on my backhand. Although this rubber is very fast and generally well controlled, it is not very durable. I have to frequently change my rubber (About every 2 months) because i play about 6-7 times a week for 2-3 hour spans. This rubber is pretty spinny and i suggest it for anybody that plays a big loop game. it is a very good offensive rubber and fast enough to help you keep up with fast counter loop players. However, once you start using this rubber, be prepared to pay a lot of money to frequently change it.

It is a good rubber, or even a classic rubber. Good control while having high speed but not sacrificing a lot of spin. I think it will be ideal for soft blades. One disadvantage is that high speed only appear when hitting hard.

One of the best rubber for spin and speed. Serves are also very spinny with T05. But I found it's hard to control this monster. It's not very tolerant and the ball can land anywhere, out of the table or into the net, when you make just a slight mistake. Short game is not good, but not bad, either. Smash and loopdrive are super hard to control, perhaps because of the "spring sponge". Very durable, I've played mine for 4 months now and it is still in good condition. I think this rubber is better for a control-loop game, like Timo Boll's.
