The Calix II is my most balanced blade. It does everything very well and I always do best with it in matches. My C2 is only 78 grams and it is very fast and easy to maneuver. Great for countering and looping. Tons of control and good "flex". Hard to believe such a thin blade has this much power. I play RPB and mostly close to the table. Pairs well with medium hard and hard rubbers like mxp or rasant powergrip. The blade has a pronounced dual speed which allows for good control close to the net and a crisp powerful return on powerful shots. It has good feel and is not bouncy at all.

This blade is brilliant.It provides great dwell time making it easy to carry out effective open ups.This blade is also good for counter top spinning ,when timed just right.However,as this blade is a pure attacking blade your short game needs to be brilliant!This blade works well with any rubber in the tenergy series.Great blade!

This is the best plastic ball in the market,in my opinion.The ball has a great feel and really feels right,it's not too fast or too slow.It's also not too expensive compared to other plastic balls.The only downside is that this ball will break quite easily if you 'top edge' the ball.Other than that it's a great ball!

I bought donic acuda turbo for my forehand but after having tenergy 05 i switched it to my backhand side and I,m satisfied with it , to be honest its so fast but not as spinny as tenergy 05 . about the hardness i can say its not a soft rubber at all . some times you think that your blade doesnt have any rubber on that . its causes the rubber to give u more powerful hits ... but over all a lovely rubber . it deserve it
Pros
  • soft
  • speedy
  • spinny
Cons
  • durability
It s one of the best rubbers for forehand . I felt if soft and full of spin , After using Tenergy 05 I learned mored about spin i mean i felt side spin and under spin and totally every kind of spin better . Incredible for looping but its speed doesnt let me to hit my bh as good as my fh . I guess its a little speedy for bh .
Fortunately i got my pairs of tenergy 05 from a give away ,,, but looking at the price it appears expensive .

First of all primorac carbon seemed lighter to me . I m so sensitive to the blade weight and this blade was my dream in comparison with heavy mazunof that i had before . A revolution happened in my game style after buying this blade . my hits became more powerful and faster . actually its a very suitable blade for an attacker . my flicks goes better with this one . about control , i say its so so , but it relates to your skill as well, My grip is FL and I,m so comfortable with this . My tenery 05 fits to primorac carbon so well and the spin is amazing .. try it everybody

I train with these balls on most occasions and can safely say they are some of the better balls out there! I've found they are durable, which is a big positive with these plastic balls, when training and are decent for multi-ball!

This blade is very reliable and can be used by a variety of abilities from beginner to more experienced players. I'd say the best feature of this blade is the control it brings to the player. I find serving and touch game is particularly good when using the Senso Carbon. The biggest disadvantage, especially for myself, is the handle. I find this a touch too bulky and can make play, over a prolonged period, become slightly uncomfortable. Apart from this slight negative, the blade is very good and I would recommend!

The Yinhe W-6 holds the unique combination of a thin (5.7mm) mid to far distance looping blade, but the power of a more all around or control blade. Using this blade will give consistent, repeatable spin without adding a large amount of speed to the ball. Great for players who use lobs or offensive chopping. This is also perfect for players looking to develop spin by using good technique, instead of relying on high end $50+ rubbers.

it looses feeling after a period. but it can bounce and that is the most important thing. But there are many better practice balls than this one! , Comparable to Butterfly, but not as good. and it Breaks easily, it is not very consistent!

Hi Guys, I tested this rubber for 3 sessions of training and before I tested MX-P, MX-S and EL-P. At begin on the first 2 sessions of training, I noted a low throw angle of this rubber specially on power loops and a little bit less low throw also in slow topspin. Than as Andy suggested to me I tried better the rubber on slow topspin and the result has been a better medium throw angle, but for my personal opinion the MX-P and MX-S have higher throw on slow topspin. The spin of the EL-S is fantastic on serves, on pushes and opening loops; also the control is very good on blocks. For playres who have a perfect technique it will be a fantastic rubber with very very good potential. For my style the rubber isn't good because the low trajectory on power loops and drives when you want to close the point, and I prefer rubbers like Donic P1 Turbo, Omega V Tour or MX-P. Sorry for my english, bye everybody :)

Pros
  • Controll
  • Big head (not heavy)
  • Speed
This blade is catalogued by Buttlefly as a "Medium speed" blade, but actually, as one would expect from a T5000 blade its fast. Ok, not that fast as others T500 blades like Primorac Carbon, Schlager, etc but it still has a decent speed, a little less than Timo Boll Spirit. It has a big head but its not head heavy, it doesnt feels heavy at all, its quite soft and controllable, maybe not as good for looping like other blades but still ok (one of the best of the T5000 series) The composition is: Koto - T5000 - Ayous - T5000 - Koto

Nice ball, it has a good consistency, it's closer to the 3 star ball in performance but closer to the 1 star in price, i find it ok for training, the bad thing is the quality control, some balls aren't as round as i'd like. The durability is good, maybe not the more durable, but better than other ittf approved balls (ej donic). I think it behaves a lot like the dhs ball

Pros
  • Good Spin
  • Fast and direct
  • sik green sponge
Cons
  • kinda of heavy
Playing tenergy 05 before, I've decided to get Andro Rasant instead because of its much cheaper price.

It surprised me in its ability to generate spin and momentum in the ball. It is a bit heavy for me but this heaps to generate speed and pace. In terms of spin it feels pretty much the same with tenergy 05 and it also faster. However, tenergy 05 is much more controllable for me as its weight feels just nice for me. Only just got it a few months back and no signs of the rubber wearing out. It also has this crazy sick green sponge which is obviously the best. (green is the best m8). It will probably be even better once I'm really used to this and also gain some muscle -.-.

Hope this helps people to get a better idea of the rubber!!! :))))) (quintuple chin)

  • Price
  • Catapult
  • Spin
Cons
  • Serves
  • Control
  • Fragile sponge
This rubber is promoted ad an alternative to the Tenergy series. Well, it's not like Tenergy, its a tensor, but it performs very well.
I find this rubber very fast, its very springy, has a great catapult efect so it's better to have some skills to control this rubber. The sponge is a little fragile, so you have to be carefull when you take out this rubber if you want to use it again, its very porous too. The hardness its nice, the M3 its too soft for me, the M2 sponge its just a little softer than JP2.
The topsheet is very grippy, also fragile, it has kinda mate finish and it looks worn out soon, but it takes more time until its really worn out. The other thing about the topsheet that called my atention is that when i glued it i saw it had like little bubbles inside (just noticeable when looking in detail), i thought i made something wrong when gluing but then i saw others with the same thing (glued by people who has experience), however it doesn't affect the play at all.
It can generate lots of spin and good speed.
The worst part are the serves, due to the springiness its harder to make dead serves, but its still ok.
IMO this is one of the best rubbers outhere for its price.

Pros
  • Round
  • Durable
  • Bounce

The first batch XuShaoFa 40+ was bad quality. It kept breaking after using them for one hour.

This has vastly improved with the new 2016 batch. It does not break easily, are round and have a good bounce.

The only issue I have with this ball is that its very fast.
