Tenergy 05 or Hurricane 3 National???

It doesn't sound to me like you are a high enough level to control t05 let alone exploit its potential. Why not get a sheet of 729fx, you can win a 2000 level tournament with that no problem at all, its good stuff. No one under us2000 needs anything more than 729fx or mark v. Unless youre counter looping often during matches rubbers are not that important and I'll promise you no ones regularly counter looping in matches under us2000

My advice to you danroid is to forget about Tenergy 05 for the time for the following reasons :

1) In my experience; a blade like the YEO is a better match for Chinese rubbers on the forehand, than Tenergy 05.

Bearing in mind you are using Rakza 7 on the forehand at present; I would suggest playing with TG3 Neo, instead of H3 Neo; as it would be a slightly easier rubber for you to adjust to.


2) Bluebucket's comment about your playing level indicates he doesn't believe you have the consistency or level of technique required; to be able to control Tenergy 05 properly and get the best out of it. And I'm inclined to agree with him.

The advantage of using Tenergy 05 at lower levels of the game is the ability to generate good spin with short wristy shots, where the rubber is doing most of the work for you and as a result; it can hide a multitude of sins.

The problems of using Tenergy at lower levels of the game are :

a) it can be just as punishing a rubber as Chinese rubbers, when you are caught out of position and under pressure; because it will punish poor technical shots and poor timimg.

b) it can highlight the technical flaws in your game; particularly when you are put under pressure by better players, who force you out of your comfort zone.

If you have good footwork and use your legs, waist rotation, for your forehand stroke, H3 could be good. If you have poor footwork and cannot hit more than 5 or 6 forehand loops in a row, don't even bother with Tenergy.

Thanks for you opinion ppl.

thanks for da link, anyways prob wont buy from China.

Very very true.

The reason I suggested TG3 Neo is because it is easier to adapt too than H3 Neo; particularly when coming from a tensor, like Acuda S1.

It's true Chinese rubbers can be less forgiving at times; however, the benefit is it will force you to play more pro actively and technically correct shots too; which in the long run will be beneficial with your game.

Don't get me wrong; you still benefit from using good technique with tensors too; however, because H3 Neo and TG3 Neo are not as bouncy as Acuda S1, they require you to provide more of the power through technique.

Try a slower blade.

Yes!  I have made up my mind.

tg3N wold be the easiest to wield

You can't imagine two inverted rubbers more different than s1 and tg3. They are not comparable

learn how to brush the ball if you will go with hurricane 3

Get T05, Japanese Yen exchange rate has drop a lot... the price of T05 is now around US$53(drop from US$68)... I just checked the price on tt-japan

Don't ever think to use speed glue on Tenergy!
