Pros
  • Spin
  • Fast
  • Block
Cons
  • Needs closing
  • Needs footwork
Spin is good but, dwell time is less than Butterfly Moonbeam AL(not carbon) blade. Thus, you end up with less spin, faster game. It is like you are wasting half of your energy on full stroke. Your racket move has to be precise. Less forgiving... If your legs are not fast enough, you will struggle a lot.

My other problem with this blade is backhand top spin after fh drive, spin or any fast game. I couldn't be successful on backhand top spin as my Arylate blade. Ball always goes out of the table. I need to close the blade. I tried for 4-5 months and still my game no where near with my BTY Moonbeam. So, I am back to it.

I recommend this blade to the people who needs extra power.

edit: OK guys! This blade is very attracting. I accept the fact that it is really hard to resist to not use this blade when you have already. I will give this blade a chance, even if my game worse than BTY Moonbeam AL
Pros
  • Fast
  • Control
  • Sound when fast
Cons
  • Low trajectory
  • Needs footwork
I love the sound when I spin the ball very fast. After softer rubber(Donic Bluestorm Z2), balls are going to the net. Rubber requires more brush, quicker bat swinging when contacting the ball. If you start to do lazy spins, you won't get any good result.
To gain more arm speed on spin I started to workout with lightest resistance band by swinging my arm like spin motion.

One week after edit: I got used to speed and hardness. Maybe it's because of booster vaporization. It is very hard to smash high balls or fast topspin away from table with soft sponge. It just doesn't act what I estimate. But hard sponge sweeps away all the uncertainties.

Profile: As club level players say, my topspins are powerful and spinny, strokes are good enough to play at league but my footwork is not enough yet and definitely because of not having enough match experience, I am bad at reading game. Sometimes its like keep pushing running button continuously at Pro Evolution Soccer

I used this on my Butterfly Moonbeam FL(5Ply+2Arylate) blade's forehand side. Although it is harder on paper compared to Tenergies, it doesn't feel that way. 2.3mm is quite thick. Sometimes you don't engage with wood when hitting ball.

Don't expect phenomenal arc of T05 but Arc is good enough to topspin close and under table like T05. Even after you hit, you see the arc which feels quite satisfying. When you topspin with forward moving, you will get T64 effect.

What I don't get is that why on topspin to topspin game, ball sometimes tends to go to net. I am closed to table player (max 2 meters away), so this didn't bother me much.

Flicks are easier after T64 on Timo Boll ALC blade. I don't think same for push or backspin on the table. Maybe if I get used to, I may overcome that.

According to my dealer Tenergy/Bluestorm price ratio is 1.75 now.

I loved this rubber. It feels me like I have super power. I guess I will stick with it :)

Edit: I am using this rubber on backhand now. It is not like having super powers now :D But it is quite good on punches, lifting the ball, wide backhand top-side spin, flicks. Maybe tenergy better at those areas too, except fast hitting.
