Tenergy 05/fx

For what it's worth I found the 05fx easier to loop backspin on my forehand, where the 05 was just too fast for me on all other shots.

Who's the one using 05 fx, the chinese guy or indian guy?

The Indian guy (who is only 13)- .05 FH, 05 FX BH. The Chinese guy may, but I don't know.

Hence I consider them beginners . Not that there is anything wrong with being a beginner. I guess some people took it as an offence towards their level of play. Understand that its an opinion only. You can certainly disagree with it. Anyways the Indian kid, his posture makes me hard to believe that he is 2300.

Not sure what your point is since I have pointed out a few out of many 2000+ players (and AFAIK, you aren't 2000) who use 05fx. That you beat players who use a certain rubber clearly proves little so I am beginning to wonder about your judgement. So you seriously think that giving a player a rubberwill transform his game? You sound like another poster here who likes to say that he needs hard sponged rubber or his stroke will not work. He should really just say he doesn't know how to loop.

Actually the tenergies that pros (esp. men) use have harder sponges. But that won't affect us lol
That indian kid is obviously talented, but lacks proper posture. While I agree with you, NextLevel, that bad posture doesn't necessarily mean you can't play well, bad posture will definitely hinder improvement.

It's still mind-boggling to me how developing players make their equipment decisions in the context of professional players, and can actually believe that a certain rubber is too soft or whatever for them despite numerous relatively high level players (2200-2600) using rubbers like 64, 05FX just fine. If anything, those are the players one should use as a basis, not the guys whose equipment-related demands we'll never be able to remotely fathom.

Many pros who use Tenergy are not sponsored.  So you mean that they have access to what their sponsored friends use or they will not use Tenergy at all?  Or that Butterfly sponsors pros with enough stuff to share with their friends and family? At some point, we have to stop making everything about this idea that pros have access to the secret handshake stuff that we don't.  Yes, pros generally want harder sponges relative to what amateurs want.  But even pros don't get everything they want.

Let me put it another way and maybe it will be clearer. People who are competitive and detail oriented tend to leave little to chance. So they will try to make sure that they are ready to compete 100%. They will make sure their rubbers are suited to their strokes.

Does this mean that if we had access to the rubbers these pros have that we could use them as well as the pros did? I am sure Ma Long could use my set up better than I can myself. Since you know that table tennis is not the kind of sport where faster equipment is necessarily better, the obsession with what the pros use needs to be measured, and a better barometer is what generally serious players all over the world (usatt 2200+) use and you will see equipment like Tibhar Genius and Donic Baracuda in there.

There is an argument for what the pros use being higher quality but it has to be carefully made, and it should be made so seriously that it begins to sound like the Tenergy pros use bears absolutely no resemblance to what people buy.

Seeing the capabilities of a rubber is what we get from the pros. Me thinks...

Ty  So you already use the rubber, I never know why people using a rubber want to ask others what it is like (not your fault just happens) sometimes I feel some newer players just want to say Im learning but at least I have Tenergy yehaa  My son had air Jordens but he still could only jump 3 inches Nothing wrong with Tenergy or any other 30 backhand rubbers
