But dan, the spin generated from the T80 is greater than T05 and it is good for the spinny backhand loop so it is still attacking and I don't think the control is higher than 05 in all honesty however
Even the spin I generate on BH wing with simple plain ole allround OFF XP 2008 is better than 90% of your clubmates' BH with a Tenergy on their favorite balde.
Why?
Heavy spin rating cannot be determined with just one speed of stroke. Rubber helps, but it isn't everything. The player has a lot to do with that.
Granted, on a weaker stroke, I can generate more spin with Tenergy than any other rubber out there. On a heavy BH opener I make, you will not know I am using a very inexpensive BH rubber. On a fast blade speed stroke, my XP 2008 can match your favorite club player's Tenergy any day of the week in terms of pace and spin, whether I use it on my OFF composite blade or an ALL+ USD $15 Chinese blade. The speed spin ratings a manufacturer of any amature player talk about are all relative to certain things and not all of us are the same. Even on different blades certain rubbers are slower or faster. Heck, Rasant was simply average middle of the pack on a TBS when I first tried it out, but on my $15 ALL+ blade, that thing explodes with spin and pace on counterloops from mid-distance!
Unless you have the cash, Tenergy is tossing away Ur hard earned cash. I can get more spin from Evo series and I get it almost half the price of tenergy.
Let the rich or the pros play Tenergy... BTY is marketing the star power over everyone to get away with the high price. I believe in any company's right to charge whatever the market allows and market the daylights outta their product whether it works or not... BTY is obviously doing a very good job marketing their nice product, but it isn't worth as much as they sell it for, but many still buy it. Go ahead everyone, knock Urselves out, unless I can get Tenergy for the cost of other moderately priced rubbers, it will stay on the shelf of the store.
