I was using this with penhold pips, and I was honestly shocked at how much it bounces.
It bounced enough to make me think "does it really go this far?"
Well, the fact that just blocking the ball creates variation
is something you won't find with other rubbers. (Even if it does bounce a lot…)
I'd recommend it for attacking-style choppers.
Defensive-style players should use a blade that doesn't bounce much.
Pairing it with an ordinary blade is rough.
I'd say don't use it for penhold pips.
It'd be great if you could find a blade that matches it well, though…Overall Speed Spin Control

Chinese rubber. That means a rubber with lots of spin.
But up until now, it wasn't very popular because the bounce was poor.
This rubber applies a film called "idatei" to
improve the bounce. That's cut down on the weak point.
On top of that, since it's a hard rubber, I'd recommend it
for people who play with a flexible blade or focus on loop drives.
The downsides are that it's hard to get hold of, and it's heavy.Overall Speed Spin Control

The blade is relatively thin and flexes easily.
Because of that, it grips the ball well for spin, and it's light and easy to handle.
The rubber I'd recommend for it is Chinese rubber.
It's also quite stable, and I feel it's very easy to use.
I'd guess that if you used it with control-oriented or high-elasticity rubbers,
it would still be just as easy to use.
The downsides are two things: the feel has a bit too much ring/vibration for my taste,
and the price is high.
Still, I think it's a racket worth trying — you won't lose out.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

I think this has the most spin in the whole Tenergy series.
Of course on serves, but topspin drives get great spin too.
Honestly, just touching the ball puts spin on it. So it's really easy to use.
The downside is that spin comes on automatically, which
makes it hard to control.
For now, I'd recommend pairing it with a carbon blade -
something like the Timo Boll series or the Jun Mizutani series.
It's for intermediate to advanced players. Also a bit pricey...Overall Speed Spin Control
Recomend racket Timo Boll ALC

A Japanese tacky rubber, and a pretty serious one at that.
I'd say it's somewhere between Hurricane and Tackiness, hardness-wise too.
It generates plenty of spin, but control is difficult.
The arc ends up bigger than you'd like.
Still, since it spins so much, it's hard for opponents to return.
If you work your way through tacky rubbers in the order Tackiness → Summit → Hurricane,
I think you'll be able to handle this one.
It's heavy, so whatever you do, don't put it on both sides.
It's cheap, so it's worth trying.Overall Speed Spin Control
