Adidas Tenzone & Tenzone SF Review

@debraj: Looking fwd to hear your review and comparison with HD.

no problems, in time I got to know about what your priorities are when picking rubbers. They may not be same as mine, but it gets easier to understand whether I'll like that rubber or not by your opinion. 

I made the tenzone 2.0mm as my fh and the P7 as my backhand. its safe to say that the 2.0mmm tenzone is still faster than the max P7. I have let 2 other high level players try it and they swear tenzone is a tad faster even with a thinner sponge!

sofaires... he he... we always learn new things in this forum .

indeed and thats why i love this community everyone has knowledge in different areas im really happy that i found this forum hehe and i will put up a review soon im currently developing my skills but i will as soon as i get used to it, all i can say for now its hard to control but when you are getting used to it its just fabulous, im getting more spin out of it thanks to the tips i receive in this forum and the spin plus the speed its just amazing and it does make this amazing pop sound when you are attacking its nice the draw back that i can see is, is hard to make heavy spins when you are the first one attacking and im currently working on my serves with this rubbers.

ahh no wonder i didnt knew about it i was absent of tt for a while and yogi bear i did what you told me change my lt spin to my FH and lt plus to my BH and its a lot better much more better thanks!

sorry to ask yogi but what do you mean when you say break in period

thats what i though but wasnt sure, thanks yogi

lildude, you know i really wanna try the P5. not just review it but also use it in my backhand

vvk1, good to hear that you like the tenzone. I have played the s1 turbo and tenzone in the same blade and i noticed that the s1 turbo isnt as spinny as the tenzone and lack the strength in a short game and touch. s1 turbo is very fast their speed difference isnt much but it lacks the arc in the loops and the spin capability leaves much to be desired than the tenzone

I've played with Tenzone today. It's feels somewhere between Aurus and Hexer HD. I've been using HD in the last few weeks, I'll mainy compare it to HD. Feels softer than HD, probably because of topsheet softness. Overall, feels and plays bouncier than HD. It's probably tick faster when looping. Glue feel and sound is better, more catapult. Even my home tuned HD does not feel as lively as Tenzone. Though it requires a bit more sponge involvement, just like Aurus. Serves are a bit spinnier, sensitivity to spin is more. It's a good rubber, but pricing is off. Performance-wise, I don't think there's big difference between this and Aurus. BTW, I've used it on Clipper CR non WRB. It's really fun to play with that combo but I can't say I'm really comfortable controlling it. I'll give another shot on PG7 which is slower and flexier. 

Yes, that's right. HD has much better short and flat game. Tenzone loops nicer. 

deb, havent experienced that. and yes it softens by about 1 or 2 degrees from my experience.

I experienced that.
