It is a rubber with poor bounce, admittedly. But serves and the short game are easy to put spin on, and the loop quality is high.
Also, hitting flat with a meeting-style stroke is really easy to do (lol)A junior teammate of mine, who loved smashing with terrifying force the moment anything floated up in the short game, was a big fan of this rubber.
Overall it's on the firmer side, so when you hit it flat, the ball really jumps off.As a chopping rubber it's very easy to handle.
You can chop even close to the table, and when you chop hard and sharp the ball doesn't carry too far, so it's reassuring.
That said, attacking from mid-distance is basically out of the question, lol.
When you hit, do it up close! The pattern of lifting the ball and then smashing it works quite well.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This isn't a rubber I'd recommend to beginners. It doesn't fly, and the spin is nothing special. It's just too far removed from the spin-oriented tension rubbers that are mainstream these days.
That said, it's not very affected by incoming spin and is extremely easy to control, so it might suit the backhand of a chopper running inverted rubber on both sides. It doesn't produce that much spin, but you can still return no-spin balls with some spin of your own.

Even if you hit it flat, even if your swing is slow, spin gets put on the ball automatically. And it picks up speed too.
It's a ridiculous rubber. It's worth the high price.
Young players should absolutely not use it, though. If you want more spin or speed, you're supposed to train your own body for it, but Tenergy just does it for you.
By the way, I think it's fair to say it's the easiest rubber to generate spin with, but I don't think it's the rubber with the most spin overall - it's on the soft side, after all.The price went up too, so honestly this is a rubber for people whose livelihood depends on table tennis (lol)

It's advertised as a tacky tension rubber, but there's almost no tack to it.
When I touch the sheet telling myself "it's a little sticky..." there's maybe just enough to notice, if that.
The sponge feels pretty hard for a German-made rubber. That said, since I'm used to Chinese rubbers, the feel didn't seem hard to me. Also, I think the sheet itself is relatively soft.When I chop, the ball comes out really low. I was surprised. The ball travels shorter than I expected, to the point where I get more net misses. The spin is great too — even a rushed chop still cuts pretty well. Because of that, I found it a bit hard to produce a no-spin (knuckle) ball.
What I liked most was the push. Lots of spin, a low trajectory, and fast. It's really easy to use, and powerful pushes just come out on their own (lol)
Serves cut well too. You can keep them short.Because it's hard, people say topspin drives from mid-distance or away from the table are difficult, but I think it's also great on offense. You can hit sharp drives even from a deep position. That said, to blow through with one shot, you should probably still move in close to the table.

The sponge feels soft, but the sheet doesn't feel all that soft to me.
The rubber has good firmness overall, and it doesn't feel floppy or mushy.When you sink the ball in and drive, it grips more spin than you'd expect. It doesn't have that artificial "grabbiness" you get from recent spin-oriented tension rubbers, but the sheet's grip itself isn't bad. A powerful player should be able to generate plenty of spin with it. That said, it's not a rubber that makes spin easy to produce.
But the real selling point of this rubber is the sense of speed. Even from far off the table you can drive straight through — the speed is insane. Spin amount barely matters at that point (lol)
I'm a chopper, and chopping with this was hopeless. It just flies over. Cut it and the ball sails off into the distance (lol)Overall Speed Spin Control
