Seems like rozena is very similar to tenergy 25 and brice high speed.
less speed than t05, check
Rozena seems to bring nothing special at all ! Its just a product created to try to sell more from Butterfly, trying to reach those that think Tenergy is too expensive but still want the Butterfly badge.
Its like the Butterfly Roundell , a guy from our club has 2 of those, nothing wrong with them but they bring nothing special at all.
Is the lifespan of the rubber comparable to 05 and 64? I think now is a good time to ask this question as the rubber has been out for a few months.
I've used Rozena since August. I haven't torn any pieces out of my edge yet, but I have 12mm edge tape so that may be part of the reason. So far as wear goes, as Yoass says there is very little sign of surface wear - also the rubber doesn't pick up finger grease staining anywhere near so readily as Rhyzm, Evolution or Aurus did, so if you look at my bat now five months down the line it isn't immediately obvious which is my backhand side and which is my forehand.
It isn't particularly easy to generate spin on services with Rozena, your contact has to be "just so"; OK, if I play with a DHS D40+ ball I can get backspin services to bounce twice on the opponent's side but I think that says more about the ball than anything else ! However on firmer shots where you are compressing the sponge there is bags of spin available, and with a TB ALC behind it harder shots do tend to travel like the proverbial off a shovel
What is your level and how would you rate the control of the ALC+Rozena combo? Is it bouncy and hard to play in short game or a lot easier than with Tenergy for example?
And how much do the 1.9 and 2.1 differ? Just a bit less bouncy or other characteristics?
Thanks!
I tried Tenergy once, it was super fun to play with, liked the feeling and made some amazing shots but it was just too hard to control in short game for me. I switched to H3N and like this one a lot better. I still have not found my perfect backhand rubber, I play with TG3-60 atm but I don't find it very forgiving in the topspin game, pushing is fine though. I want something that is more forgivable in the topspin game without being super spin sensitive like Tenergy. I think a bit more catapult would be better for my game on the BH.
