    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.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Tenergy 05 is highly rated for its overwhelming spin performance and speed, with most reviews suggesting it's a legendary rubber that intermediate to advanced players should try once. However, its strong auto-touch makes it difficult to control, and players without solid fundamentals struggle to unlock its full potential.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional spin and speed at top level
    • Soft with strong auto-touch for ease
    • Drive and loop strokes excel
    • Requires intermediate+ skill level
    • Short lifespan and high cost
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveRotation is automatically applied, making drives and loops easy to execute with incredible spin volume and sharp trajectory. Reliable quality that keeps players coming back regardless of other options.
    ▽ CriticalThe strong auto-touch makes it difficult to fully control and execute, causing players without solid fundamentals to only make mistakes. The short lifespan and high price are also significant drawbacks.

      Tanaka No. 1 (Experience: 2〜3 years) Performance is good, but...

      Reviews by user

      What I learned from hitting with Tenergy
      First of all, it's very soft and has a strong automatic feel. So I thought it was perfect for getting a feel for it.
      You could say that the "automatic feel" is Tenergy's strength, but conversely, it's so strong that it's difficult to extract its full potential. That's where I'd say it's really geared towards advanced players. Therefore, it's difficult to specialize in speed and spin, and I found it hard to generate speed. Well, maybe it's because the racket is inner-shell, but the "automatic feel" was a bit too strong, which made it difficult.
      Also, personally, if you're going to use Tenergy 05, I think an outer-shell racket is better, because it generates more speed. As for spin, I think it's fine because the Tenergy itself (sheet and sponge) has such great performance.
      Sorry for the long post.

      Kano (Experience: 4〜5 years) A rubber that suits people very well,

      Reviews by user

      I'm a high school student with four years of table tennis experience.
      I won a gift certificate from Kokusai Table Tennis, so I switched from Rozena to Tenergy 05 for my forehand.

      My first impression was that it was a perfect upgrade from Rozena.

      I felt that this rubber was a step above Rozena in terms of spin, speed, and control.

      Serves take a lot of power if you swing faster.

      One thing to note: this rubber is completely unsuitable for some people. I lent it to a friend who normally uses Victus V15, but he kept hitting over and missing. The key to Tenergy is not to hit with a slight impact, but to hit with a lot of pressure and relaxed momentum.

      He said there weren't many issues other than overshooting the drive, but he didn't think it would be very useful. I also kept hitting overshooting at first, so be careful when buying one.

      Kenshin Uesugi (Experience: 2〜3 years) Extremely easy to use

      Reviews by user

      I use it extra thick on my forehand side. The downside of using extra thick is that the racket becomes a little too heavy, but it's easy to use and produces a lot of spin and speed. Even after it's worn out, it still produces more spin and speed than other rubbers, making it an extremely good rubber.

      Just a cat lover (Experience: 2〜3 years) I think it's a good rubber

      Reviews by user

      The legendary Tenergy is great after all. It's incredibly powerful for driving. But after the first two weeks or so, I started chipping, and after about a month and a half, I started chipping quite a bit. But it's a good rubber, and it's soft, so it's great for backhanders.

      Ichinico (Experience: 6〜10 years) There is a strong sense of security that it will rise

      Reviews by user

      I borrowed my junior's. I hit both forehand and backhand.
      I usually use MKFX for my forehand. The hardness is medium on the harder side, so I feel like I'm hitting it. It tends to roll the face, but it holds the ball and gives the impression of it going up. If I swing it up or try to hit it, it will go over, so if I hold the ball, trust it, and swing forward, I can get a good ball.
      I usually use Lazanta C45 for my backhand, so I had to change the way I hit it, otherwise it would go over. It's the same as forehand, in that you hold the ball with a good amount of spin.
      I think the table top is slightly affected, so if you wait patiently and then hit it, there's no problem.
      I don't think about covering the face, but it's most important to trust it and swing forward.
      I normally change both sides to 80.

      Intermediate level 5 (Experience: 4〜5 years) Two months have passed since I started using Tenergy 05...

      Reviews by user

      I've been using it for two months. Well, there hasn't been any major changes. Maybe it's just lost a little bit of spin, that's all. Don't worry about it. Now, a comparison with Dignics. Speed Tenergy = Dignics, Spin Dignics > Tenergy, Drive Dignics > Tenergy, Tsutsuki Dignics = Tenergy, Serve Dignics > Tenergy. That's about it. Dig is brutal, but Tenergy is still a good rubber. The spin is normally good, and if it works, it's faster than Dig. If it works, that is. Tenergy is softer than Dignics, so it's easier to handle, which is an advantage that Dignics doesn't have. If you're going to stick it, I recommend it on the back. It's soft after all. It's easy to bounce and hang, it's light, and the racket is an inner one, a butterfly one, etc. Sorry for the long post.

      Temi (Experience: 2〜3 years) As expected, the strongest rubber

      Reviews by user

      As expected, Tenergy is the strongest rubber... It has top-level performance in terms of both spin and speed. Also, because the arc is high, it was easier to get into the base than I expected and it was stable (although I still think it's in the category of difficult to control). 05 is one of the Tenergy rubbers.
