Substitute Rubbers for Tenergy 05

For those who can not afford the price of Tenergy 05, there are some rubbers that can be a substitute.

One is Haifu Bigwhale. The only thing this rubber lacks compared to Tenergy 05 is catapult, so you may need to use Booster Glue for a few times. Once this rubber is softened, it will deliver the effect close to Tenergy 05. If you can't afford Booster Glue, you may use Parrafin oil to soften the rubber. At under $20 each, this rubber is around one-third the price of Tenergy 05, with some extra cost for Booster Glue.

Another rubber to substitute Tenergy 05  is the Palio family, such as Palio Macro Pro, Palio New Era, or Palio Blitz depending on your preference for spiny or power loop. At about $30, this rubber is half the price of Tenergy 05, and you don't have to spend extra on Booster Glue.

One rubber which comes very close to Tenergy 05 is Rakza 7 by Yasaka, or Rakza 7 Soft depending on your preference for spin, power or control. At under $60 each, this rubber is about $10 cheaper than Tenergy 05, and delivers similar effect

One i've tried is Joola express1,quite good rubber!(always using it with booster)

Honestly, I don't know if there is a difference.  I have no idea what people are talking about and I doubt those that talk about it have any idea themselves.

Dude.   Some things are not meant to be taken lliteraly.

Honestly, guys, can someone just give a couple good hyperlinks here to the previous similar threads we had and that way answer the OP?

Donic Bluefire M2 in my experience is another good substitute

Voltron, the OP is not asking a question - he is creating a thread to answer a question that we have asked a million times before. "Nice" name calling?  NL, I still think a new person can (should be allowed to) sometimes repeat-ask, so the simplest, and mature, way is to give good, proven hyperlinks and keep everyone happy.  My apologies... couldn't resist the opportunity to use that word to refer to a good friend... But my point is that he is not asking a question and you can find the links yourself and provide them if you think that is the right approach.  The truth is that most of us who have used Tenergy extensively don't even look for substitutes anymore.  We've accepted that Tenergy is somewhat unique and that while other rubbers have come much closer in performance, the quirks still mean that you may still prefer Tenergy even if another rubber performs as well or supposedly better.  His answer is 3-4 years too late.
