Bought it because it had good reviews.
I had high hopes it might be a substitute for Tenergy 05, but...
the feel on contact was softer than I expected.
Both spin performance and speed fall a bit short of the 05.
That said, the sheet seems tougher than Tenergy's.
Lifespan looks like it'll be longer too.
Used on the forehand, drives are stable and it's plenty good enough, honestly — I guess Tenergy is just that amazing.
With the 05, shots that would normally land tend to sail long, so this felt just slightly less grippy in comparison.
Both flat drives and grazing drives go in fine.
Flicks and smashes didn't feel like particular weak points either.
I tried it on the backhand too, and since the sheet grips the ball well, my drives never caught the net.
It was easy to handle.
The one thing was that blocking was a bit slow.
With the 05, backspin serves would often force the opponent into a net mistake, but with this one it doesn't quite force mistakes.
The sharpness of my serves was also a bit worse than with the 05.
This ended up mostly being a comparison with Tenergy, but I felt it performs better than things like the C1 or Vega.
Since it's said to last longer — if it lasts twice as long as Tenergy, that works out to under 4,000 yen a month, so I think the cost-effectiveness is good.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
