Tenergy 64 is overrated and overpriced (1day test)

tomas.gt wrote: well ffx-me, you could tell your thoughts in much better way. However Tenergy series rubber is more like a beast than rubber for average players. I found T05 better for those who are used to chinese rubbers. But not suitable for average player. I think playable != suitable and this is the problem. People don't get it. Tenergy is not like srivers, which were perfect for almost every "mortal". You need to be really skilled to use everything inside the tenergy. THis is true for both T05 and T64. While T05 is more controlable and easy to spin with (for us), T64 offers mainly speed but this does not mean that there is little spin in it. It looks more spinny than every other "so-called-new/tensor" rubber. But this time with T64 it is much harder to spin the ball up. It requires something like a perfection from the player. I think that very good player would realize that T05 is only marginally spinnier than T64.one more thing: globe 999(T) on quattro sponge - what the ***. This is nice story but is it possible for Cole to provide this combination in large? I mean - it is not official product line. So it means nothing. Sad but true.

Have you ever wonder why the Tenergies are so difficult to play with? Why they aren't suitable for average players? When we where using for the first time Bryce, and we where using it heavily glued, why we didn't face this problem?
For Tenergy 05 the answer is simple. 05 tries to create spin from its soft surface. And it manages to do that. But at the same time is vulnerable to oponent's spin with disasterous results in receiving services and in other parts of the game that need control of the incoming spin.
That's the story and one of the downfall of Tenergy. The other one is the heavy weight.
If Tenergy hasn't the Bty logo on it, 50% of its supporters will play with other rubbers. For sure.
And please some of you don't say that Tenergy is a goord rubber because Boll or other contract players play with it. The be very good paid to play wih Tenergy. Noone knows if they have freedom of choose with which rubber they would play.

I don't care which logo it is and who does or doesnt use it.  I think that is irrelevant and think apart from service return against a great server tenergy 05 is the best rubber ever made.

I don't give a damn about "logos", and i don't care who plays with what. Until the glue ban I had no problem with Dawei and Milkyway rubbers. But after the ban Tenergy is not only the best alternative I found so far, it is also the only alternative I found, at least for my forehand. I think it outperforms every rubber out there on every aspect, including price (given it's great durablity).

Every other rubber I've tried so far is useless for serious competition, and I'm not a BTY fanboy, in fact until now I had not played with a single BTY product in my life.

Having said that, I also think it is not a rubber for anyone, like Sriver used to be. You need some skills and fitness to be able to play with it.
