TENERGY 05 has a unique feeling using a combination of Spring Sponge technology, High Tension rubber and a tacky surface. It is excellent for imparting a great deal of spin on the ball. 05 in the name was adopted from Pimples Code No. 5. Tenergy 05 enables a full range of topspin play at or away from the table. It keeps its explosive power throughout the life of the rubber without the use of speed glue or boosting. Tenergy 05 is very popular among world-class table tennis players. European Champion Timo Boll uses Tenergy 05 on forehand and backhand.

Top-tier performance among rubbers!! It's easy to use and has great power!
But it's really expensive...
Every technique feels easy to pull off!
But the one I'm using is a borrowed Tenergy that was put on 8 years ago…
Still, it's plenty strong!
I'd love to try a brand new one!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I bought this after trying out a friend's blade that had it on. The loop drive is just godly! It feels amazing! The one thing that bugs me though is that control in the short game isn't great.

I'd been using Tenergy 80 (I'll just call it "80" from here), but I decided to switch based on a friend's recommendation.
Compared to the 80, Tenergy 05 (I'll call it "05") has a real snap on impact, and the ball flies off with a nice crack even without much power behind it.
Also, while it's a bit less stable than the 80, if you hit it hard enough for the ball to really sink into the sponge, even on an inner-type blade it can exceed the 80's maximum performance.
As for spin performance, well, it's Butterfly after all, so it really lives up to the "trust Tenergy" reputation.
The spin is on par with tacky rubbers, but I felt like it came from the topsheet itself even without me brushing the ball much.
That said, if you go in thinking "I'll level up from intermediate with this," you'll probably be disappointed. I think it's better to use it once you've built confidence in your own skill. Otherwise you probably won't be able to handle it.
An inner-type blade is fine, but personally I feel like an outer-type blade — something like a Fan Zhendong ALC or a Viscaria — is a better match.
Definitely give it a try, everyone!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

The rubber that every drive player dreams of, sitting right at the top.
It's lightweight and boasts intense spin performance.
Among all the spin-focused tension rubbers out there, it's very Tenergy of it to strike this level of balance.
It wears out quickly, but because the initial performance is so high, you should still be able to get good use out of it for a while.

I'm just starting middle school, have 2 years of table tennis experience, am not on a club team, and play at a level good enough for prefectural tournaments.
I used to use Glayzer thick, but compared to that, the ball goes in more easily/lightly with this. It feels like if you just swing, it goes in.
I mostly use loop-type drives rather than speed drives, and it's very easy to use for that. I'd recommend it to anyone who can get a proper impact on the ball. If you tend to brush your serves lightly, you might get a bit less spin than usual.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Image Studio (Experience: ４〜５ years) Easy to spin

For about a year I always used the thick version on one side, and it fit best on my forehand.
Even if you're a bit cramped for time or reacting on instinct, as long as you make contact and push forward, it basically goes in.
Both loops and serves are easy to hit, and you get quite a lot of spin.
I feel like control performance comes down to skill, but personally my impression is that it's difficult.
I feel like it's not suited to players who swing with a lot of tension in their arm.
I think you do need practice, but once you get used to it, it's a powerful rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Zair 03 Dependence (Experience: ４〜５ years) God-tier rubber

A godly rubber that needs no introduction.
I think it's a truly all-around rubber that works great on both forehand and backhand.
Hitting against backspin is very easy, and the ball really grips the sponge well.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
