Apparently Tenergy is really something.
To be honest, it really isn't. Should you ever consider trying out a tensor, do yourself a favour and get a Xiom Vega Pro, or a MX-P, something along those lines. Paying the price of a Tenergy is not worth it for a tryout (it's not worth it at all in my opinion, but that's a different topic)
On the topic of chinese vs euro/jp.:
After thinking about trying out a Hurricane 3 (Neo) for quite some time already I finally had the chance to get my hands on one and give it a shot on a borrowed Eternity VPS. My usual setup is a Maze OFF with 2x EVO EL-S, as you can see on the right. I've tried quite a few euro rubbers, including the Xiom Vega Series, Tenergies, Evo MX-P, Rasant Series and the Hexer series. The only brand I skipped so far was Donic, doesn't really appeal to me for some reason.
I'm not gonna go into detail over the advantages of a H3 Neo over a Tensor rubber, but basically I fell in love with the way the chinese rubber plays. It's kind of an all or nothing gamestyle, if you don't move, you won't get anything done. It requires 100% performance at all times and punishes you if you don't deliver the performance.
I tried out the rubber without boosting, gonna give it another shot with some Haifu in the near future and see how that affects things.
Now I kind of singled out a single rubber out of the "chinese" fraction, and for a good reason. If you were to ask me which I prefer out of Hurricane 3 (Neo) and european/japanese Tensor rubbers, the answer is quite clear: Hurricane wins. I've never had this much fun with my forehand.
If however the question is chinese vs euro/jp. as stated above, I'd have to go with euro/jp. Simply because a) I didn't try enough chinese rubbers to give a reputable opinion and b) I'm not too fond of the quality control issues which you're more likely to face with chinese rubbers. It's cool to get a sheet for 10 bucks, but if I have to buy 6 of them to get a good one I might as well go with a T05 and at least be able to rely on Butterfly's QC.
So yeah, in regards to the forehand, it's as follows: H3 > euro > anything else
I don't really have the technique to slap a rocksolid chinese rubber onto my backhand, so that's kind of out of the question. medium-hard to hard euro/jp rubbers all the way on the BH
