Tenergy 2.1 thickness problem

"From the moment I glued the rubber..."

Thanks for the reply's.

I do know that a freshly glued rubber can feel different. After I glued the rubber on, I've let it rest for a day due to this. The day after, the rubber felt exactly the same. That's why I became suspicious and discovered that there is an actual difference in sponge thickness.  

It's not much, seems to be like 0,1 mm or so, very hard to measure.  I've let my housemate check it (blind test), and she noticed the same thing.

I've bought the first Tenergy at the official Butterfly distributor here in The Netherlands. The second one has been bought at http://www.sporteurope.nl/ at the Dutch Championships tabletennis. I'm sure that it can't be fake.

Maybe they put a 1.9 in the packet instead of 2.1? Shouldnt happen... Havent had that from Butterfly before but did notice a 2mm sheet of Omega IV Pro was same thickness as a Max.

Timo Boll once confessed:
---the only privelege I have now got from Butterfly, as being a contracted player to them, is the consistentcy of rubbers.
TENERGY that packaged would usually differ in weight from 80 to 84 grammes. Butterfly selects rubbers for me so that all my sheets stay of 84 gr. I do prefer heavier rubbers.

So, you can understand you will always get some variations of weight and thickness if buying rubbers from a shop. Manufacturers do accept a slight inconsistency by weight/thickness for their rubbers to be distributed to non-elite players.
That is that..

out of the 7 or so sheets of t05 I've played with 2 were too soft - one red, one black.
Sometimes if you cut your sheet at a certain angle, or one rubber is slightly shrunken inside the blade the other is slightly overhang it can make sponge thickness appear different.  I hope that's the case here.

On all tenergy packages it is written 

2.1 mm~

1.8~2.1 mm

1.5~1.8 mm

Which means it is possible for a T 1.9 to have a bigger sponge than a T 2.1

I've played with Tenergy 05 on my forehand before, and now 64 both sides.

Biggest difference for me is that topspin balls go lower over the net now with a bit less spin. Tenergy 05 "grabs" the ball more, Tenergy 64 seems to be more forgiving. Though, I didn't need to adjust my strokes very much.

But as I mentioned in the starting post; I'm having the difference in thickness problem with two T64 sheets, so I'm not sure how that will fix your T05 problems....
