Tenergy 05 fx review Timo Boll ZLF

Day 2 of my tenergy 05 fx reviewing.  Yesterday I used it on Timo Boll Spirit, today I put my new tenergy 05 fx on my Timo Boll Zylon fibre blade.

My impressions are mixed and changing.  The rubber does suit this blade also, possibly better but I am not sold on the idea.  I mean the rubbers seem to fit this blade better but the overall effect of this combination doesn't really feel like I am playing with Tenergy any more.

Throw angle of 05 fx

The first thing I have to talk about is the throw angle because although I played pretty well overall with some great shots,  The lower throw angle and the more bouncy nature of this rubber meant I had a smaller window to land my shots.  The much lower throw angle means I can't do my side spins as much.  I actually cursed a million times because of how many times I looped right into the net.  Tenergy 05 fx is reminding me of Hexer everyday.

Side spin looping with 05 fx

My main reason I love tenergy is because of the super high throw angle which allows sidespin looping.  Once you drop to a low throw angle it is quite hard to side spin as you will hit the net first.  Tenergy 05 fx does not feel good at sidespin looping balls lower than the net, which the original tenergy totally beats it hands down.  Side spin flicking serves near the net also felt much harder as it was hard to lift the ball.

05 fx on forehand looping bottoming out

although I played for almost 6 hours and as I kept playing I got more used to the throw angle and possible less spin, I never really felt happy with the softness especially on my forehand.  On the backhand I seemed ok with it, but on the fh I felt like I was hitting into the blade too early sometimes.

Which blade to use with tenergy 05 fx?

After using it with the TBS yesterday and the Boll ZLF today I felt I wanted it be on an even softer blade.  I just felt the bottoming out meant I wanted a blade that the ball could dig into even more to get the dwell I felt I was starting to lack.
Serves
I started to adjust by the last couple of hours, building more confidence in digging deep and applying full action.  The sidespin and kick beats the orignal 05 for serves which just go over the base line, but on stability of short backspin the softness and the bounciness is a pain in butt.
Amazing after one day that I could change my feelings so much.  In a nut shell what is the main thing I don't like about 05 fx?
STABILITY
I felt the softer bouncier nature, more dynamic, as you hit harder into the rubber the parabola becomes a much straighter line and blocking etc just all felt less stable.
It is early still I will write more tomorrow.  But my impressions is that this rubber is going in the Hexer direction I didn't really like.

butterfly tenergy 05 fx

Nobody cries about the weight of Tenergy any more!

In package 88 grams, out of package full sheet 65 grams, first cut 43 grams.  If you stretch your rubber then I predict 41-2.

My current Timo Boll Spirit blade with two two-year-old tenergy 05 weighs 185 grams.  That is a blade with "shrunken rubbers" as I used to speed glue stretch the hell out of my rubber back then.  So I think it would have been heavier if new.  

So now I have stuck on my two new tenergy 05 fx onto my timo boll spirit.  The weight is 180 grams.  It will be a bit lighter soon as I it has a bit of over hang I left.  

How does it feel?

The overall set up feels bloody amazing!  It is really feeling perfect.  After using 2 tenergy 05 for a long time and always thinking this is too head heavy I finally can now say this feels bloody perfect.  As a result, when the blade feels all balanced my backhand in particular develops finals flick to all shots that is just right, for lack of better words.

I also gave Bruno, The best player at our club from Chile, who you have probably seen in my youtube videos a go of my bat as he had never heard of tenergy 05 fx.  He was I could see totally in love.  He said "I know tenergy 05 is better than tenergy 64, but I just find tenergy 05 too hard for me.  But this tenergy 05 fx is perfect."  He ran into me later and said again "you have the best bat" .  I got use his tenergy 64s on either side of Jun Mizutani, which did feel excellent, but to be honest couldn't wait to use my bat again.

I played a very good player tonight from England.  I played him last week for many hours and was using the original 05 and his thoughts were that it was a bit slower.  He only managed to get one game off me tonight, where as last week I got a few more.  It could be that my backhand was on fire.

I hate to talk about speed glue feeling but...

I have never felt anything come this close to that.

Spin and speed?

To be honest I don't think tenergy 05 fx is any spinnier than the original.  I actually have feeling that it may even be less spinny.  It is just a small impression right now, but I feel the fx version seems to be moving toward the tenergy clones direction and not chartering even more spin direction I kind of hoped might happen.  I am sure without a doubt that tenergy 05 fx is slower overall.  But Tenergy 05 fx feels more dynamic.  It also seems to have more gears, or is that the same thing?  I find can keep the ball slower for example if they move away from the table.

What does it compare to?

Tenergy 05 fx feels like a cross between tenergy 64 and Andro Hexer and Tenergy 05 of course.  I say that because tenergy 64 was the softest of the family and andro hexer felt the softest and had the porous feel.  Tenergy 05 fx feels similar to the speed or dynamic nature of hexer, but of course tenergy 05 fx has the tenergy top sheet which for me is the main reason I don't like the other companies rubber clones.  The other companies made very good sponges similar to tenergy spring sponge but just didn't put that Butterfly grippy top sheet on top.  Anyway...

Who will love tenergy 05 fx?

Players that liked Hexer or Vega but didn't like the top sheet.  Players who love the tenergy 64 on the backhand but wanted just a bit more spin and little lighter.  Ah dam, I think there are too many types of people who will love tenergy 05 fx more than the original.  I think I will become one of them.

What am I not sure about right now?

I am not too sure about how it plays on my forehand. I am sure I love it on backhand, and the overall weight of a lighter forehand rubber also helps with my backhand.  But I am a little unsure about how it feels on my forehand.  It is like I love that speed glue kind hit into the blade, but something about the softness is not quite right.  It kind of feels a bit slow, or the throw angle is not right?  Anyway I will come back to this.

Tenergy 05 FX throw angle!

I am sure it is lower and shorter.  It has less dwell in my mind so comes of the blade quicker but unless I do a more active stroke I can do very very short loops which I think are weird.  It is like those loops that you do and when they bounce they just stay really really low.  The throw angle in my mind makes this not only better for blocking or should I say being more passive, but also the attacks stay much lower.

tenergy 05 fx review by high arc

Impressions after second session:

First of all, the T05 FX will be my new backhand rubber, no doubt. I have not found anything about it on the backhand side which I don't like.

I played for about one hour against a machine, and for about another hour some matches against two different players. I play with both of them quite frequently, one is has quite a bit a lower level (no ranking because only the top 200 or so get a ranking), the other is quite a bit better (current number 15 in Switzerland), and I know their game well. However, the serves of the better player are often loaded with so much spin that I frequently used to make a direct mistake with T05 even if I read the spin correctly just because I misread the amount of spin. My ranking fluctuates in the Swiss top 100, but not below 60.

Playing against the machine (switch between T05 and T05 FX, see picture)



Actually both rubbers have similar characteristics. The FX has just a bit more dwell, and is a bit slower. Some may perhaps find the FX a bit mushy, but I don't, I actually find the T64 more mushy. It is certainly easier to loop bottom spin balls with the T05 FX than with the T05, but for now I can't tell whether this is due to a larger dwell, a smaller sensitivity to incoming spin or a higher throw. I guess it's not the last point because he rubber seems to have a lower throw than the regular T05 in all aspects. When I did some off the table counter looping against the machine (oh I love that so much), I found that there is a upper speed and spin limit of the rubber, which I have never experienced with the normal T05. But the limit is very high so that at my level I don't care.

In the matches, I noticed that I serve better with the FX. I felt more confident to put spin on short serves, because they did not go long as often experienced with the regular T05.

Against the player with a lower level, I performed pretty much the same as I would have with the normal T05. Though some unnecessary errors on first forehand loops due to the higher dwell, but nothing I can't get used to. I really liked how you can do touch shots with the rubber. Managed to do some nice short bottom side spin returns and found it good fun to use the catapult. Had some problems with flicking on the forehand side.

On the other hand I did better against the best player of our club than I ever have. Did less errors in the returns of his serves, where I dared to be more active. I blocked more balls than I usually would have. When he attacks, he always plays the balls there where I don't expect them, and the FX is much more forgiving for these kind of out-of-position blocks.

I don't know whether this is helpful or not...

By the way, I found the Jun Mizutani blade to be a perfect match to the T05 FX's.

I think the T05 FX rubber will be a huge success, because it is similar to the T05, but is not that difficult to handle. I often found the T05 working against me when facing better opponents, and I don't see that coming with the FX. I expect some pro's to use the T05 FX on the backhand, but I can't imagine that many would use it on the forehand, because it lacks the extreme power and top gear of the normal version.

Table Tennis USA Open 2010

The U.S. Open, the oldest table tennis tournament in the United States dating to 1931, offers singles, doubles and mixed doubles divisions competing for prize money.

DeVos Place has over  700 competitors from 16 countries coming to Grand Rapids.  Open from Wednesday through Saturday at DeVos Place.  20 years it hasn't been there.

Consists of nearly 60 age brackets for men and women from ages 8-80 that will involve 89 tables in use at times, with key matches able to seat 1,500 spectators at DeVos Place.

The tournament took place twice in Midland in the early 1990s and for six years in Detroit’s Cobo Hall in the 1960s and 1970s. Grand Rapids secured the event by outbidding Las Vegas and Milwaukee.

Defending U.S. Open champion Thomas Keinath, of Germany, returns to play for another crown, along with 14-year-old Ariel Hsing, of San Francisco, runner-up at the U.S. Nationals the past two years, and U.S. World Team member and 15-year-old Michael Landers (New York), last year’s youngest ever U.S. Nationals champion.

It would be good if the U.S. Open recognized as a major world tournament by the International Table Tennis Federation, which means prize money in the range of $150,000 to $200,000.

Tickets are $5 per day, $25 for all sessions, including the finals. There also is an amateur novice division anyone can enter Saturday. Cost is $30 for adults, $15 for kids.

Aussie Table Tennis William Henzell tenergy 05

tenergy 05

I will be writing here a very indepth review of my match against William Henzell on the 15th of May 2010 at the Brisbane Table Tennis Association at the Brisbane open.  Iin short,  in Australia the man that represents Aussie table tennis the best is the Aussie William Henzell.  He is an amazing table tennis player.  It doesn't matter what table tennis equipment William Henzell uses, he will still be the best Aussie table tennis player.  To quote my good mate, Ping Pong Rob from Mytabletennis.net (my favourite forum) "He could beat you with his shoe."

William Henzell equipment

William Henzell's table tennis blade is made by Yasaka from what I saw (but I heard that may be a Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit with the handle changed.)  William Henzell rubbers are Butterfly Tenergy 05 forehand and Butterfly Tenergy 05 backhand.
William Henzell is very secretive about which table tennis equipment he uses because he promotes aussietabletennis the table tennis company.  William Henzell does not use Xiom Vega Pro as he recently claimed on the Aussie table tennis website.  It is merely marketing.  Xiom Vega pro is still a good table tennis product, but it just goes to show that the professionals will refuse to use Xiom Vega Pro even when it is free.  Table Tennis professionals would rather pay to use the best quality product on the table tennis market.

William Henzell and the Table Tennis Ranking system used in Australia.

In Australia we use ratingscentral.com for our rating system.  On this system at the date of the match, his ranking was about 2850 and mine was about 1650.  That is about 1200 points of difference.  You can get a good idea of our table tennis levels of ranking from this.  My average game score against him was 3:11.  He appeared to play as good as he could against every player on the day.  I estimate my ability to be about a third of his and think the whole rankings and ratings reflect this perfectly.

top table tennis players using tenergy 05 on both sides of their blade

tenergy 05

top table tennis players using tenergy 05 on both sides of their blade are not hard to find.  There is a lot of talk of the importance to use two different rubbers on your blade.   Variety of spin and speed patterns stuffs up your opponents timing.  To you it is natural as you always know the right way to either side.  But to your opponent they have to constantly think if you have something different.
Although this is true what happens when you find the same rubber unbeatable by any other product on either side?
That is where this group find themselves with 05 both sides of their paddle.
