Tenergy 05 Hard Advice please!

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on Tenergy 05 Hard.

I currently use the original normal 05 rubber.

For those that don't know, I'm a defender who doesn't tend to chop on the forehand. I'm more close to the table attacking or when I'm further back from the table I fish or counter the ball back. The closest I can think to my style of forehand is Ruwen Filus.

How would the 05 Hard suit my style? I'd be using it on a Butterfly Diode V blade which is a defensive blade but more on the quicker defensive blade side.

How is the 05 Hard on opening attacks against a push / backspin?

I'm looking for some thoughts on this rubber before I buy it, it's too expensive to buy to try out and not like it and unfortunately I don't know anyone who uses it so I can't try it on someone else's bat.

Thank you

Do you find T05 to be lacking in something? T05H has a lower throw than T05 and it's less bouncy. It needs more effort to play with but you can get more spin when you get a good brush on the ball. It all depends on how your style is. If T05 suits you fine then T05H won't work as well for you.

I tend to go through the ball more than up the back of the ball when attacking. I also wondered if 05H would be better in the pushing and short game than regular 05. Any idea?
