Hi all,
A month ago I bought a Timo Boll ZLF and glued a 1.7 Tenergy 05-FX red for my forehand. At first I didn’t like it too much: it felt harder and less spinny than I expected (I know it’s my technique and not the rubber, yes). But I also felt it unexpectedly low-throw. For example, lifting backspin has become very hard for me. Butterfly’s video on Tenergy says FX versions have lower throw that normal ones but… so much? (05 is supposed to be high-throw). The rubber developed a small crack in the ball contact area and will have to be changed soon so I don’t know what to do: going normal 05? (I’m afraid it could be too hard or fast for me) Trying a thicker 05-FX like 1.9? Mistakes with Tenergies are costly.
Yazaka’s video on Rakza rubbers also confounds me because they claim soft versions have higher throw than normal ones… does that make sense or every rubber -Tenergy vs Rakza in this case- is different?
Your feedback is very much appreciated!
