    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.

    • Up Down Service

      Up Down Service (Experience: 6〜10 years) Makes sense why the pros use it

      Reviews by user

      Yeah, well, it's strong. Use it well and the spin amount beats even tacky rubber. The speed is faster than any other rubber I've compared it to. Consistency is high too, and it's easy to use for everything, from the short game to topspin rallies. Even someone whose backhand is usually shaky can start hitting it solidly. But if I had to name one downside... durability is really low.

    • STIGA maniac

      STIGA maniac (Experience: 11〜20 years) A top-tier rubber, but may not suit Tenergy 64 fans

      Reviews by user

      A top-tier rubber that's also become a standard choice. As you probably know, within the Tenergy line - 05, 64, 80, 25 - you should really understand each one's characteristics before buying. If you like the 64, you might find the 05 a bit harder for blocking or flat hits. On the other hand, if you like generating your own spin, I think the 05 is great.

      Banana (Experience: 2〜3 years) (Edited) Is this a masterpiece?

      Reviews by user

      As expected, pairing it with the Timo Boll ALC is amazing, lol
      Going from beginner to past-beginner and then suddenly jumping to an outer carbon blade took me a year to get used to, but honestly I think it was worth it.
      This rubber definitely has incredible spin, but there's still one thing I find difficult -
      against backspin balls, it really pops straight up. I'm currently using a flat-hit topspin as a backup shot, but this is the one part that's still tough with Tenergy 05. Guess I'll keep working at it until I get used to it ( ・∇・)//

      Glassman (Experience: 4〜5 years) The standard of modern rubbers

      Reviews by user

      Back when us old guys were students, there was no rubber this expensive...
      When you pick table tennis back up after a long break, you can't help wanting to try it out, lol

      Overall it's a good rubber, but there's a risk that if you rely on your equipment too much, you never build up your own technique.

      - Serve
      Even without the feel of really "cutting" the ball, you get a good amount of spin.
      It's unmatched among tension rubbers for spin amount.

      - Receive
      A sharply spinning serve still takes some skill to handle,
      but if the spin is around the same level as your own, you can return it without any problem.

      - Short game
      Chiquita, flick, push, block - all of these are easy to execute,
      and there's nothing about the play that leaves me unsatisfied.

      - Backhand
      At first the angle felt off and I kept overshooting, but once I got used to it, it was totally fine.

      - Chop
      This is easy to do normally too.

      - Mid-distance to away-from-the-table play
      Being the go-to choice for top players, this is genuinely strong here.
      It doesn't lose out in extended rallies.

      Undisclosed (Experience: 4〜5 years) Gross in a good way

      Reviews by user

      The spin performance is just monstrous, lol
      Put even a little spin on a topspin drive and blocks fly long - it feels like a rubber where just connecting the ball leads straight to points.

      Dosanko Cutman (Experience: 6〜10 years) The only rubber that spins hard even with an open racket angle

      Reviews by user

      Brush the ball and you get insane spin
      Sink it into the sponge and you get powerful spin

      Aside from how fast it wears out, I really think this is a dream rubber.

      haku (Experience: 2〜3 years) Amazing!!

      Reviews by user

      This is my first time using it, and the first thing I noticed is how much spin it puts on the ball as it flies off. I've got max thickness on mine, and even my serves get insane spin. Every technique is easy to pull off, so I'm glad I tried it.
      The downsides, though, are that it doesn't last long, and it's expensive. You won't regret using it, so definitely give it a try!!
