You have to tell me how it feels, I might buy one in December if it's really worth it. Could you compare it to the Maze? off course after you get enough time with it! thanks!

OK, tell you when enough time but firdt meet feeling is not realy match together - May i am not at Timo Boll level I did not have experience with Maze, my history - Keyshot --> Kreanga Carbon --> Amultart --> Joola bomb extrem --> Nittaku Feruku now Timo boll ZLC (ST)

Could you come to the Topic: 700 Timo Boll New blades in the world to get so many valuable ideas about this

My high level friend cant even generate any spin from it any more so hes changing to Yasaka MARK V (I told him tenergy was the spinniest rubber besides chinese tacky ones but he still wont believe me). Mine seems fine for a while and than once and a while it will just not grip anything and everything will hit the net, all my serves will have no spin on them. I live in quite a rainy area of Canada so im trying to get used to the moister with Tenergy and find a way i can keep it from going dead on me randomly.

You want to tell us, that your Amultart with Tenergy 05 on both sides is really light? Are you joking? How much weighs your Amultart? 50g?

Have you tried ROXON 450 or 500pro?

I've been using Tenergy 05 on a TBS for a couple months now. The combo is proving to be too fast compared to what I was using before--too big of a jump from Balsa Carbo and Sriver G2 and Bryce off and on-- so I'm going to try some different rubbers with the Timo Boll until I can feel comfortable with Tenergy again. Here's some random thoughts anyway:

Low Throw- Yes.
Great clicking sound and feel- Yes.
Durable- Yes... The rubber face is in the same condition after 2 months of play, including cleaning with a sponge. Compared to Bryce which becomes dull and losses its 'new rubber' sheen after the same amount of time playing and cleaning. Pieces will come off if you hit the edge of the table, but that happens to any rubber. And performance has to have a tradeoff.
Fast- Yes. Extremely.
Spin- Tons. From the topsheet and the sponge.
Short distance control- I've been having control issues with pushing, touch shots and brush loops--that is, I end up hitting deep balls into my opponent's wheel house--but I'm sure higher caliber players can handle Tenergy in these areas.
Mid-distance looping- Yes, awesome. Everyone should buy Tenergy and put it on a backup blade just to experience the fun looping with it. Pure joy.
Soft/Hard- Feels like a hard fast sponge with the spin coming from the topsheet against short slow balls, but when the ball is moving fast and you swing harder, its feels softer and the spin is coming from the sponge at that point.
Weight- Yes, its heavy like people say. And I've got the edges of my blade double taped to help protect the rubber, so its extra heavy. But I don't really have a problem with it. Blade weight is easy to get used to.

I want to know too, my amultart was 86g, I sanded down to 84g (the shape is just smaller than my Gergely 21) and with 2 tenergies unstretched the whole setup is 180 grams.

I Tried tenergy today for a few mins. It was springy and pretty fast but not superfast.

I have tested both tenergy and boost tc...
boost tc is much faster... but tenergy is able to generate more spin.

Ive heard a handful of people do a side by side with tenergy and BTC and say that BTC is spinnier and faster (same blade) but I've heard another group of people say the opposite is true, that tenergy is faster and spinnier side by side. and the word "much" has been put before the word 'faster' in both cases with certain examples. What's the deal? How can people be yeilding different results like that when doing a side by side comparison? something is weird.... explanation anyone?

There is an entire topice on Boost TC where we went through the same questions.  My BTC rubbers (both red and black) could pick up a ball, but other people could not.  My BTC rubbers had limited speed, others claimed good speed.  And so on.  We never did resolve the wide range of responses.  I tested my BTC on Bty Kong Linghui Special(carbon-arylate, but not nearly as stiff as TBS).  I am skeptical of the fake theory.  I bought mine at Dandoy, and whatever people may feel about their customer service, they are too big and well-known to get involved in fakes.
