Been playing with this blade for 4-5 years. Really great when it comes to sweet-sopt. Sometimes you might wish some more catapult-effect and also control. All in all, one of the best rackets I played so far.

Here is a more unpopular opinion I guess on Tenergies and European/Japanese rubbers in general:
I personally started with Srivers, switched to Tenergies and played with them for a long time. Mostly 05 on BH, 64 on FH.

Now having grown older and reflect more on these rubbers, I highly recommend to any new player starting out to NOT buy European/Japanese rubbers. They do too much for you. Meaning with these tensor/catapult/freshglue effects it sometimes really is enough to just hold your racket and the rubbers do the rest for you. It might be convenient for beginners BUT if you are a lazy person like myself, it really harms your improvements since these rubbers forgive so much. Meaning bad footwork, wrong techniques, etc. can all be compensated to a degree with these rubbers.
Having switched to Hurricanes on my FH, I immediately dropped 2-3 levels of my playing style BUT it forces you to have the right technique, the right footwork, etc.
So even though my playing level decreased, I am 100% confident that in the long-run anyone learning to play with Chinese rubbers will be way better off than with e.g. a Tenergy.

Been playing with short pips for like 2 years on the backend. I usually tend to sometimes chop around a bit - for this a normal rubber is a way better solution than this one (if you dont want to go with long pips). It simply lacks control.
If you aim for fast blocks and shots and you have the right technique for playing short pips (which I am afraid I never had lol) this rubber is for you.
