  • TENERGY 05 HARD

    User review

    I'm using max thickness on my backhand.
    Given the name "Hard" compared to 05, I expected it to feel hard, but it doesn't actually feel that hard in practice.
    It's easy to block with too, and even against backspin, being an "auto" type rubber, even if your contact point drops a bit, it still arcs the ball in nicely.
    That said, compared to 05, when the contact point has dropped all the way, or you force a shot from a bad position, the hardness shows through, so you need to make up for that with technique.

  • ZX-GEAR OUT

    User review

    This blade's ability to counter topspin is top-tier among outer blades.
    Even against a loop with heavy spin, if you take it at a high contact point the counter goes in easily.
    In terms of rallies too, it doesn't just hold its own against Tenergy-type rubbers, it's overwhelmingly strong.
    If there's a downside, it's that combined with rubber that's too hard, the blade becomes quite flat, so if you drop your contact point to loop a backspin ball, it either goes straight into the net or sails long with no chance of going in.
    While it's tremendously strong against topspin, if you can't turn a backspin rally into an actual rally, your chances of winning are slim.
    Also, I think pairing it with tacky rubber or something like V15 lets you make good use of this blade's performance.
    On the other hand, if like me you go for even more speed with a hard, flat rubber like V22, the benefits increase but so do the downsides considerably, I think it's a combination for advanced players that I personally can't fully handle with my current skill.
