The new Butterfly Rozena rubber uses a slighty softer sponge than normal Tenergy rubbers. Beside the pink colour, the sponge is similar to the other springe sponge rubbers. If I would make a blind test, I would guess another Tenergy rubber would be in my hands.
The Rozena has a little bit more catapult and dynamic than the harder Tenergy rubbers, even though the sponge is more soft. This helps when playing fast topspins, both from the table or from halfdistance. The rubber has a good pace, but is not as fast as rubbers like Tibhar Evolution MX-P for example.
The strength of the Rozena rubber is the variability when attacking. Also the rubber is forgiving when hitting the ball not perfectly. Other than with Tenergy 05, when the angle of the stroke is not 100% right, the ball finds its way to the other side of the table. I guess the softer sponge and the new topsheet help both with this characteristic.
The throw angle is medium high and between Tenergy 80 and 64. The Spin level is also between those rubbers. A spinny topspin rubber, but not as dangerous as Tenergy 05.
Though the feeling and technology are the same, Rozena is a little softer, more forgiving, less sensitive to the incoming spin, with better dynamics/catapult and more lively feel than the normal Tenergy rubbers 05, 80 and 64.
In my opinion, the Rozena rubber targets topspin players, who need a high performance rubber, which has good control and forgiving abilities as well. It has the Tenergy Gen, but also standalone and unique characteristics.
