To Tenergy 05 users,
Tenergy 05 was released in 2008 and it's still one of the most popular rubbers, only bested by the likes of Hurricane 3.
What is the reason you personally still use it?
For me it's the quality of production and consistency in the game.
Don't bother with rakza 9, it's not worth the money. Rakza 7 is better overall and more durable.
For blades I recommend Stiga infinity, it's a widely used blade with really good feel and control. And of course doesn't lack speed.
Because they have bad technique that only thin sponge forgives. There's no reason any new player should go for under 1.9.
Players that go for thin sponge either are defenders that use the thin sponge for chopping/blocking, or they have bad technique and can't use anything else.
05fx is even less consistent
Rozena is good but he came from that
Vega euro is good, but rozena is better.
I think g1 is a better alternative. And the rakza 7 is better control rubber with good speed and spin.
Harimoto is higher quality than normal innerforce, and I think a touch faster, dima is a bit harder.
All are good blades. Except the alc.s it doesn't have a reason to exist.
It's not the setup. You can't play with your body like that or it will punish you and leave you in pain for the rest of your life. My father made the mistake of picking up his motorbike after he dropped it, 20 years later he still can't stand for more than 30 minutes at a time.
Honestly I don't think you should play. Tt requires a lot of hard and fast wrist movement and it could cause you severe injury to the point where surgery is required. And penhold is even more demanding and will for sure get you injured.
As a coach in training, I recommend picking up running...
