Tuned H3 Neo or Tenergy for USATT 2000

Hi,

I play with a Hayabusa Zxi (earlier I was playing with a Yinhe Venus V1) with Xiom Sigma I Pro on FH and Xiom Sigma Euro on BH.
Over the last year I have moved away from a medium rubber on FH (Acuda S2) to a medium-hard rubber (Sigma I Pro). This has allowed me to change the pace of the ball and hit tighter angles and my rating has gone up from around 1600 to ~2000 (there was some practice involved too).

Although I am sure that my current equipment can take me to 2200+ levels without changing I've been playing with the same equipment for more than a year now and want to try a harder FH rubber.

I loop a lot from both wings and hit through the ball when I can (on a week push I would power loop and hit through rather than brush more). From the BH I can open the ball comfortably and my BH flick is stable and reliable. Also, I am very happy with my BH rubber.

I have played earlier with chinese rubbers like Friendship 729, Sanwei T88, Target, etc but have never had the opportunity to try boosted rubbers.

I am getting 2 Tenergy 05 from a friend (as a gift) and was considering whether I should use them or trade them in for H3 Neo(s) 40 Degrees and some Falco Tempo Long Term Booster.
As I said I am developing my game to hit through the ball with an open racket face rather than always brush it especially at near mid and mid distance.

So should I keep the Tenergies of trade them in for H3 Neo and the booster.

Thanks

H3 is basically for EJ and poor people.

On a serious note.

Can someone compare them in terms of opening loops for half long and long pushes.

I understand that H3 will provide better touch over the table and in serves, but how is it compared for flipping? Can I hit through the ball like with a hard tensor witout worrying about the tack?

Thanks

The one thing I will say about Tenergy is that if you spin the ball all the time, it rewards like no other rubber because you can spin harder and harder and it will still leave you room to spin harder.

Bluebucket is simply pointing out what most people already know - if you got good with Chinese rubbers and play at a 2000 level, stick with them.  Same for European rubbers.
