I'd heard from people around me that it doesn't have much bounce, but
when I tried it, the bounce was just right and
it's easy to use.
It works well close to the table, and it works well
farther from the table too — it's an all-rounder.
As expected, because the grip is thin,
I'd recommend it for junior high schoolers
with small hands!
The techniques that come easily are
the short game — chiquita, blocking, flicks,
and so on. Serves might end up
a little long.
But once you get used to it, you'll be able to
keep them short! That was true for me too!
Then there's countering!
Since it's Tenergy 05, it's easily
affected by spin, but with V15 Extra
my counters went in perfectly!
I'm not sure how the compatibility works, lol,
but even farther from the table, it goes in once you're used to it!
Well, it's easy to use in every respect!
If you've got the money, why not
give it a try? I recommend it!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Drives have a lot of power and are stable. The grip is thin, so short-game techniques are easy. I think it pairs well with Rasanter.

It's almost the same as the Timo Boll, but you can grip it firmly, so the blade doesn't wobble and control is good.
Unrelated, but the grip design looks really cool.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I'm currently using this.
Until recently I had Tenergy 05 on my forehand, but I switched to Rasanter R47. When I was using Tenergy 05 (soft), the drives had strong spin, and combined with the power of the blade's arylate carbon, it was easy to produce heavy-spin drives. But after switching to Rasanter R47 (hard), the ball flies so much that even from away from the table it has power and reaches the other side.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It vibrates a little in the hand when serving. Other than that, it's good. I used to use Nittaku's G-1, but the Tenergy series felt more natural to me. The backhand really was easier to use. As expected.

The power on smashes is insane.
It's not super bouncy, so I think that's its weak point.
Spin and drives come easily, so it's easy to use.That's just my opinion!
