What do you mean by that? adidas is one of the biggest companies in the world, and they have what it takes to make great equipment. I haven't tried any adidas rubbers yet but judging by the reviews they seem pretty good.Dont expect too much....its only Adidas after all....

Adidas has no history in table tennis (they do have in tennis for example). Adidas just went to some rubber manufacturers (are their products ESN tensors ?) like ESN and ordered some rubbers with their logo on them. They just did some marketing on their "new" rubbers and tadaa , Adidas is a table tennis supplier (and they want a piece of our money)!
As an alternative to the too expensive rubbers , maybe Tuttle Beijing 4 is good ? When you Google on this rubber , you find a nice video from Brian Pace hitting with this rubber, i think it looks promising but did anybody try this rubber and could compare with for example Tenergy 05 or Tibhar Genius ?

Why does this matter if the rubbers are good? Personally I haven't used them but all the user reviews seem positive.
Koki Niwa hasn't got a history in adults' table tennis but he still managed to win Ma Long?

Adidas is just another name for the same ESN Tensors , so there is nothing new created by Adidas. When you would do a blind test of rubbers you would feel no playing difference at all between all the ESN products (Joola, Tibhar,Andro, Donic ...) !! Adidas brings nothing new to table tennis material.
So, why is Adidas worse than any of those then?
Btw Tibhar Grip-S is made by Haifu, not ESN.
I don't love Adidas, I have never used Adidas tt equipment, I'm just trying to find out why you are so keen to prove that it's crap.
Getting big sport manufacturers can be a good thing for the sport in terms of promoting too.

i actually understand what you are trying to say and at first im honestly skeptical about it but i just bought a sheet of P5 and surprisingly it plays really nice of course its no T05 but i could also say the opposite like T05 is no P5, but then again i could also say the same about hexer, rakza 7, aurus and vega pro, so in saying this i understand what you are talking about when you mentioned theres nothing new created by aiddas, but P5 is a little cheaper than other tensors and its 2x cheaper than Tenergy, so for something that is a good alternative that comes with a smaller price, im willing to bet my money on it, just my opinion though

Rubbers are different. There are many good rubbers out there. My experience is that, when you get really used to something you start knowing how to use it and then it starts working for you. Having equipment that, in a basic way, works for your game and style is valuable. There are many options out there. Each rubber plays differently. If you get something that is the right hardness for you, that lasts long enough, where you can do all the basic shots, that should work and if you play with it long enough, it will work for you.
The equipment is not as important as the technique. But, having good equipment is worth it. So there are lots of options out there.

All Xiom rubbers have high throw compared to low throw of Tenergy05. I bought xiom vega pro for my BH and FH, but I was disgusted with its performance. I tried KTL Goldenstar loop version, it is much closer to the characteristics of Tenergy05 but with a very low cost. Donic Acuda S1 Turbo is also like a cloned Tenergy05.

I don't know how much quality is in it if he hasn't used the 2 rubbers he's "reviewing" himself?
I purchased XIOM Vega Pro as an alternative to T05. But am still looking at others to try.
