Butterfly Tenergy 80

Spin and control is brilliant without too much effort, it is definitely good for a first time tenergy user.Easy to lift backspin.I don't really like it on the forehand as although it's fast I feel a lack of power especially with the soft sponge.It's best suited for the backhand.To use the rubber you do need to have good touch and push as the ball can often drift high, if weak at the short game.Overall, good rubber despite the price!

I have changed recently for the backhand from a Tenergy 05 to Tenergy 80 as it is more controlable and better for blocking. I can do anything I want with it, I love the rubber

The T80 is half way between the T05 and T80. Not as spinny as T05, not as fast as T80, with a throw higher than T64, and maybe just less than the T05.

It is a very versatile rubber, and will serve a rounded player well.

Sadly, maybe because it is so good at everything and excellent at nothing, it is also the tenergy that is the least durable. It will remain a good rubber after 2-3 months, but it does not seem to have the same durability as the others. Is this because players tend to use the T05 for brushing (so sponge remains good for longer) and T64 for more puching (so topsheet remains good for longer) while you'd use both to play shots with T80? I'm not sure.

Those playing with T80 could try Xiom Vega Pro or Asia for similar characteristics.

I've used Tenergy 80 with both my Timo Boll ALC (which broke!!) and now currently using it with my Carbonado 190.
The rubber offeres a great amount of contol while blocking and spinny loops. I've only used it on my backhand, and I prefer it to Tenergy 05 when it comes to opening and blocking, but nothing else.
Theres just something about this rubber that I don't like, but I'm not quite sure what it is. I'm a player that relies on hi-speed shots combined with a lot of spin, and Tenergy 80 just doesn't provide me with what I want.

If you're a player that needs control and spin, this is a great rubber for you. It's also great for the allround player that needs a mixture of control, speed and spin. If you're like me, and relies on fast, direct shots, you'll be dissapointed.
For me, Tenergy 05 is perfect for both forehand and backhand, as it's better for fast counterhits and powerful loops.

i now play with tenergy 80 on both my forehand and backhand. not so fast but good control and good spin. tenergy 80 suits my offensive game style great. the price is a little to much i think but otherwise i like them very much.

It is a well balanced forehand rubber, good for looping.

This is now my forehand rubber by preference. It is very spiny and has very good control on blocking. Like many users have said, the price is the issue.

Right now I am playing division 4 for my club. Tenergy 80 is really bouncy but it is really good for off table looping and counter. I use Tenergy 80 on both side of my blade and it allows me to win most of my matches.
