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.

I'm thinking about changing my forehand rubber right now — the 05 is all about spin, while the 80 has a good balance of speed and spin. My current style is to attack with spin and go for points that way, but I'd also like to attack with speed, so I want to weigh everyone's opinions together with my own thinking before I decide. Please, please let me know what you think.

I use it on both forehand and backhand.
You get the kind of bounce and spin you'd expect from the old speed-glue days. A drive where you really sink the ball in produces a more powerful, higher-spin ball than one where you just brush it.
Since topspin comes on almost automatically, it definitely gives you a sense of security in rallies and puts pressure on your opponent. That said, the shots tend to look similar to each other, and the higher the level of play, the more your counters and shot power get used against you, so I felt you need skill beyond that to really benefit from it.
I get the impression it suits the backhand more than the forehand — it's a rubber that makes up for a lack of backhand rallying power with automatic topspin, boosting both power and consistency. The sticking point is, as always, the price.
A wonderful rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

If you're using a blade with a hard top ply, you need to choose your rubber carefully, or an ABS plastic ball will fly straight into the table after contact instead of clearing the net.
If you have a blade as soft as the Timo Boll ZLF, I think you can get away with a 93g-class setup.Lately it seems like the soft units are what's in circulation and the hard units are going to sponsored players, so I couldn't get my hands on one and practiced with Evolution MX-P instead — but when you really sink the ball in, Tenergy 05 puts more spin on it.
In particular, on a high-toss serve the ball flies out only after the spin has fully been imparted, which makes it easy to control the distance.
If you sink the ball in too much, German-made rubbers have a harder time fully imparting spin.
If you can generate enough impact and still want to use Tenergy, I'd say the FX is a safe choice; if that feels lacking, switching up to the 80 or 05 should work fine.Tenergy 05 is just a bouncy rubber unless you can deform the topsheet enough to bite into the sponge.
If you can't generate much impact, be aware that the 05 FX or a German-made spin tension rubber will be more forgiving.
The hard units can handle ABS balls like the Nittaku plastic ball, but I wish they'd release a hard version of the topsheet or sponge.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This rubber excels when it comes to
stable drives and
solid, reliable spin,
so I get why so many people use it. It's also a bit pricey, but it delivers results that match the cost. That said, the spin is so extreme that I think you need at least one to two weeks of use before you get used to it.
But once you're used to it, it's really easy to use,
and it was a very satisfying rubber overall.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I guess the issue is the short lifespan?
Other than that, you could call it the strongest rubber out there ^^
It's a truly top-of-the-line piece of gear that grips the ball for incredible spin!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

This was my Tenergy debut. My impression after using it: even a light hit already puts topspin on the ball, and if you really sink it in, you get a ton of spin. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who plays a spin-focused game.
