Tenergy 25 UPDATE

I'm not surprised... Just marketing terms...
They've been working on sponge for decades... Then happened to stumbled on the Spring sponge. Of course you could count the decades before as ground work...

Just like when one said our company has worth of 25 years (or whatever amount of years) of experience.. What they mean is the amount of work experience of the workers summed up together.... In which case, one could get a lot of workers with few months of experience and sum it up to a big number... Or just get one very old guy....

How do you know?

They also put speed, spin, and control ratings on their website

it was announced only a year ago?

I'm a very big fan of bty's products, but you have to be pretty gullible to fall for their marketing ploys.

I heard about tenergy before a year ago though. But what would it matter if it was made last year or ten years ago, it kicks every post glue era rubbers ass.

worked on it for a decade....yeah right. No possible way. That's all marketing hype, and it's obviously fooling some people:)

bottum line is that your gonna still buy from them. and if you dont then o well. have fun

I think BTY should be commended because this ISN'T a tensor, but its basically better than all of them.

^Thats how the business works. The way companies fail is either bad management, or bad advertising, and BTY has been in the game this long, and there is a reason why. And there is a reason why almost all the players in the top ten use bty. Ryu Seung Min may play with XIOM, but he won the Olympics with Bryce and RSM Butterfly Jpen.

Contrary to belief, he used Kim Taek Soo for the Olympics, not RSM.

I don't agree with this.. equipment should be compatible to the player's style of play.. The  top four Chinese players don't use carbon blades, and the top European players don't use classic Chinese rubbers.. At that level, equipment does make a difference..

Of course, totally agreed upon....which is why one does not hear bty say yeah, we had the concept 8 years ago, found a vendor who can make the sponge a year ago, then started manufacturing the product just this year.

Cost for R&D is but a fraction of the justification of the price - I would assume they are spending quite a lot of dough on the sponsorships they do, and that alone could be the reason why they're positioning the Tenergy at such a price point.

I think It is a lot  faster than a comercial unglued H2.
