Butterfly Tenergy 05 Hard Review

Heyyyyy Guys! Here's our latest full and comprehensive review of the hotly anticipated Tenergy 05 Hard rubber by Butterfly! This is the harder sponged version of the popular Butterfly Tenergy 05.

Dan is joined by Tom in the TableTennisDaily Studio where they give the rubber a full in depth analysis on how it performs!

I'm liking this more conversational style of review. Gives Tom a chance to give his opinion as well. Perhaps the fact that they're comparing two different rubbers also lends itself well to this style of review.

Dan,
Compare Dignics 05 and Tenergy hard 05 please

[vfyt]

Please review the new butterfly series Dignics 05

I played with 05hard on FH and 05 on BH on Viscaria FL now for a month and find the combination very good. I find the 05 hard top sheet seems to grip the ball better and helps keep good control and, despite lower trajectory and higher speed, the ball tends to land on the other side. The 05hard also seems to produce more spin causing problems for the opponent. I agree however that, with 05hard you have to be more precise on the blade angle, pull on the topspin and play with confidence. Very good on serve and OK on short game.

Can you do a review on the Yasaka rakza series?

[markjmarkjack]

Yes! Been waiting for this review. I'll try this rubber out. Also want to see a Yasaka Rakza 7 review. It what I use now and wonder if you could compare it to other popular rubbers you've used.

guys, to explain the contact rubber/ball with a hard rubber, the contact has a smaller print on the ball which means, spin is applied to the ball at its farthest point from the center. you can't go farther than that. that means if you lack of timing or force, you lose the grip due to lack of contact surface.


with the regular T05, the ball sinks in and enlarge the contact print. that means less acceleration(or spin) but more dwell time. which gives more arc. the ratio spin/speed is balanced. where the hard one has naturally more spin than speed so the arc is reduced in length and falls into the net. so to preserve the quality shot with it, you have to hit with a more chinese stroke to recover that speed/spin balance. that means more open bat angle and more forward motion. as well as slightly more up towards our head. it's a tad more demanding in energy since the new ball entry. but they get better almost every year. for me, Sanwei seamed 3 stars ABS are the shit. great ball. well... amazing ball. cheap as well! ridiculous quality for the buck. tough as a nail.


this is basically a tenergy for chinese or those who play chinese stuff. or maybe those who play very VERY soft blades. which are rare now on the market. most of the blades are sitting beetween medium and stiff.

Another great review as always, thanks a lot. It was great seeing you in Washington DC. Hope to see you again in the future!

I have played with this rubber for a month. I agree the rubber shines when you hit through the ball. This is great close to the table counter loops etc. Looping far from the table is slightly difficult because you have to hit through the ball for it to keep the speed. I hope dignics 05 will help that area

[playandteach]

I'd like lots of you to switch, and send me your used 05 rubbers.

[anchorschmidt]

Excellent review guys and nice of you to listen to feedback and use your own blades for the review.

Please review Nittaku's Acoustic or Acoustic Carbon blade!

[patela]

Butterfly announced Spring Sponge X. Once that gets released in the market, this rubber would become obsolete. Way to go, butterfly!!!

[jamesharvey]

Would love to see a Nittaku fastarc series review.

Nice video! :)
Can you make a review about Hurricane 3 Neo provincial/national?

[axeledfalk]

I play with this rubber on both sides in 1.9. I Love it and I do recommend it for counter loopers. It loops from backspin like it would be no spin. Buy it

[sagarsawant]

I tried it in my club as my practice partner brought it. He put it on Jun Mizutani blade and that set up was crazy fast for me. The balls just went of the table . On thing i noted was if i got the stroke correct the spin was crazy on the ball, but then sadly i don't play that strong every ball. Certainly a rubber who have decent technique and play strong game and don't depend on rubber for forgiveness. As they say "With great power comes great responsibility" :)

[nelsonrivera]

Here is where i come before buying anything table tennis, this time is the rubbers, i just finished watching the Dignics05 review, so my question is, Tenergy 05 hard (fh) and Dignics05 (bh) is this a good combo ?

[OverseerKevin]

Great 5th ball on the backhand!
Great flicks!

With the "05 hard" you can't let the ball bounce off the rubber on a block like normal 05. You've got to control the block. Going to take some practice.
