    Posted: 08/09/2013 at 9:25pm
Has anyone tried T05FX on Forehand?

I have tried TBS with T05FX on FH the other day and found that the bounce are completely different. I have been using T05(red, 2.1mm,FH) and T64(black,2.1mm,BH)  for nearly 2 years. I have tried the setup with T05FX on both sides, with Black on FH and Red on BH.

I thought a switch to T05FX may give me more touch on the FH but it gives me more "surprise" than I thought.

Q1. Any experience about using T05FX on FH?
Q2. How does the choice of color impact on the game, even with the same model of Tenergy?

I play with T05-FX on both sides (max), and yes it's quite a bit bouncier than T05 due to the softer sponge. I'm can't tell any difference between the black and the red rubber.

I did try T-05 FX on both sides. I should say that I don't think it can be called bouncy - it's just that after some noticeable deadness and muffled feeling in mid-power shots you get from regular T-05, the FX version has less of that and therefore feels a bit livelier. But compared to medium-hard or hard tensors like Omega IV Asia, Palio Blitz, Baracuda or Hexer... heck even GD Karate rubbers... T-05 FX is not bouncy. It's OK.

I would recommend actually to use it on harder blades. That will help to get rid of all remnants of that "muffler syndrome" but at the same time will keep good control (compared to T-05).

Played with Black MAX. Will be trying Red MAX very soon (within a week). Till then... Thumbs Up

I use it on f/h of Donic Defplay which works surprisingly well albeit with the thinner 1.9 sponge,dosn`t feel anything like as soft as the stated 32 degree and very good feedback on this blade ,however it does speed up the pips on the back of the blade but still ok for me

BBC X-Fusion - which will not tell you anything, it is a custom blade. But basically it is a 7mm Hinoki-Carbon with very thick outer cypress layers (1.75 mm each).

When I said harder I meant that the outer layers could be Limba or Ayus or Kiri - anything somewhat harder than Cypress, and that would help to make T-05 FX play a little bit crisper.

I currently use it on a soft flexible All+ish blade and it feels fine.
I know that faster equipment will make me better, I don't need to come here to figure that out

cypress(at least the japanese cypress/hinoki)is not a hard wood at all, i'd say its slightly on the soft side even

@DDreamer

I am not saying that it doesn't play fine on Cypress outers - as a matter of fact that's what I play with. i am just saying that playing it on the somewhat harder surface would help with the crispness of feeling (if you feel that you need it of course, it is very individual; some people are fine even with the deadness of T-05 in mid-power shots)

@crackfst

Yes, Hinoki is a rather soft wood. I am not sure I understand your point...

A dude at my club uses T05fx on both sides of a Viscaria. The above sums up his sentiment about the rubber. He started with an ordinary T05 on the Viscaria, but found it too fast and too hard to control, hence the switch to T05fx. And since then he absolutely loves the resulting combo. I had a knock with it a couple of times myself - indeed very easy to play, especially if you're a spin oriented player.

Same with my clubmate who is currently #1-ranked player in New England (I am only counting people who actually live in NE and play in USATT tournaments). He used T-05 FX on both sides on his Viscaria, but then decided that on FH he is slightly better served with T-80. So that's his setup right now, he still has T-05 FX on BH. But he was quite happy with it on FH as well.

I tried it briefly on ZJK blade. It's ok, but a little soft for me, so I end up playing it on the BH, and the M2 on FH.

That sounds like a pretty good combo. Might be a bit heavy though...

The whole setup weight around 178g, so it's not too bad.  The setup is quite good, one club member tried it out, liked it so much, offered and bought it from me Smile.  Of all the people who tried the setup, prefer to play the T05FX on BH, except for one, who like to block, lobe (with side spin), and BH smack any drop short that you try (you know the type Smile).
