What is the best alternative for Tenergy 05?

I ve tested all the Xiom rubbers and they are the closest to tenergy than any other rubber.
Take the xiom asia if you like really hard rubbers, take europe for a little softer rubber and if you like to play with tenergy 05 fx, take the xiom vega elite.

I like the vega elite the most but I like "softer" rubbers more than hard rubbers. And with softer I dont mean like mark V or nimbus sound. But its not as hard as the DHS hurricane.

Been reading on other forums that there is a big fuss about Yinhe/Galaxy Moon (05) and Mars (64), depending on what reviews you read they feel similar but slower. Thought I would get myself a couple of sheets and try, but with a few layers of Bio Booster to try and make them as fast as Tenergy (for testing purposes only ).

Will be trying them out on Monday so will report back on what they are like, for $13 a sheet you can't go wrong.

Currently using 05 and 05-fx on a maze blade.

Sounds like a great rubber! Please report back and make a thread on these rubbers. A little review, looking forward to it Rich

I have tried several tensors from Joola, Donic and Tibhar ranges all I felt too soft, nice for hitting but lacked real spin when looping.

Milky Way Moon Medium Max 2.1 (Europa 46-48°) Red - this rubber is dead just nothing there, feels like Butterfly Roundell or Sriver g3 fx. I was disappointed as it come in a sealed bag gussing pre-tuned and I thought this would be the better of the two rubbers, but just by bouncing the ball on the rubber you could tell it had no life in it. Maybe it will break in but I doubt it.

Milky Way Mars medium 2.1 (Europa 44-46°) Black - This rubber is very nice; by bouncing the ball on the rubber you could tell it was going to be fast. But don’t get too excited; it didn’t generate the spin of Tenergy but it was a lot faster than any of the tensors that I have used and I would say faster than Tenergy. It didn’t feel like a 44-46° rubber, I know I had a few layers of booster on it but it felt soft. Would be very nice on a harder sponge, but I haven’t seen a hard version of this rubber.

I had a 30 minute knock tonight with Ives senior; who kept on putting it on the crappy moon. But I have a match on Wednesday so will see how it goes, may just get rid of the Moon now and order another sheet of Mars.

i used tenergy 05.now i use donic acuda s1.its gor more rotation but slight slower.i think its even better then tenergy.for me at least

I am sooooo glad I didn't buy into the Tenergy fad........ the only think I use from butterfly is my trusty Speedy P.O on my backhand.........and they last forever so the 30 bucks is warranted when I buy a sheet :-D But, try Tibhar Nimbus, I recently switched from Donic Coppa and the play is outstanding. Nimbus added a lot of spin to my game which I enjoy (I used to use sticky Chinese rubbers), and it has a lot more power. I feel it's better than Coppa so check it out!.

+1 Nimbus Series are my favourite

Stiga Boost TX is pretty similar to play with, it's just quite a bit quicker, but it's lighter at the same time. Can't go wrong with Joola Express One either.

Nice suggestion, but I play with Joola Express Two. And I am able to generate more spin from that rubber, than with any other rubber. So if you want to pay less for your rubbers, go for it!

Also, I forgot to mention, the Joola Express Two has much control and very fast speed to!

Questions

How tenergy properties is different then sriver? I am an old supporter of sriver but I never try or use tenergy before? Besides that how different is tenergy with hurricane 3 and byrce?

YASAKA is better

I started out playing with geospin tacky and did so for about a year before I switched to tibhar nimbus. That was a great switch since the tacky rubbers require a lot more effort to make shots from off the table. I played with the nimbus for about 6-8 months and it was great for everything, but felt that it wore out, playing about 2-3 times a week on average for 3-4 hours a day it had lost its initial pop and spin. So I started looking around for new rubber thinking tenergy would fit my looping game and it was awful for me. While warming up cross court looping and blocking felt great, but in play I just couldn't get used to it, it felt like there was a lack of grip and I couldn't get an arch on the ball so everything was going long. So I went on amazon and looked around and found tibhar genius which turned out to be the perfect next step from nimbus.. It has a bit more 'pop' to it and a bit more spin than nimbus did. The only thing different between nimbus and genius was the weight genius is a lot heavier. Genius is a good alternative to tenergy since it was $34.99 a sheet compared to tenergy's stupid prices haha

Why can actually allow the Butterfly Tenergy to make it so expensive?
I find it full of **** even if the Tenergy may be good. I think it's ridiculous

Anyone who tried the Galaxy Moon, Sun or Mars V2 who are supposed to be copies of tenergy? are they anything like tenergy?

Has anyone tried Acuda S1?

Although a replacement would be found for the Tenergy there is unfortunately no brand can compete with the durability of the right Tenergy.

I used Tenergy 05-FX and right now I'm using the professional versions of Tenergy 05 and 64. There's nothing you can compare exactly with a Tenergy, but for me the best alternative was the Vega Pro from Xiom.

So True! They are so expensive for us broke people lol

Xiom omega europe!!!!!!!! 38 euro and its awesome! faster than tenergy!
