This rubber is really good. I used the medium thickness — not sure how it performs at max thickness, but even though it's not super strong, it produces solid knuckle balls. It also flies in a straight line, so opponents seem to have a hard time reading it. The spin is decent, though it's not on the level of Booster SA or VO102. You can hit it like inverted rubber and it still goes in, but of course sticking to proper short-pips technique will bring out the rubber's strengths more. It also has good grip on the ball, so for short pips it's easy to do both topspin drives and chiquitas. This is a really good rubber, so I highly recommend it.

This rubber has a really high arc. I feel like that's exactly what gives it its sense of stability. The spin is incredible. Also, on the topic of spin, it puts a huge amount of spin on the ball, but it doesn't get thrown off much by incoming spin itself. This Tenergy 05 really is a great rubber. Drives from far off the table usually take a decent amount of skill, but thanks to that high arc, the ball goes in surprisingly easily. Drives against backspin are also really easy to pull off! As for weaknesses, pushes and stops tend to float up a bit — that's about it, and it's something you can fix with skill. I can't recommend this rubber for beginners, though. The reason is that it lets pretty much anything go in. You might be thinking, "wait, isn't that a good thing?" but because everything goes in so easily, you can get away with not having proper form, and if your coach is teaching you properly that's fine, but if they're not, then when you switch to a different rubber later, shots that used to go in will stop going in, and you won't be able to hit powerful shots anymore. So if you're someone who's only got a little bit of table tennis left in you and, even as a beginner, wants to finish out your table tennis life using Tenergy, then I think this is fine for you. This rubber isn't one for improving your skills — it's a rubber for winning.
