ive only tried P5, i will compare it with T05 since ive been using tenergy since 2009, P5 is actually good, speed is ok, its actually slower than T05 so for most people that i know P5 is actually a slow rubber, but for me speed is enough for competitive a game, its very spinny, spin is at par with T05, high throw rubber, throw is lower than T05 but still high throw, its a tad softer than T05, control is better than T05 specially on short game, its less bouncy, although i say T05 itself has good control, cant speak much of durability since i only have it for 3 days, quality is topnotch, it can compete any butterfly rubbers in terms of quality
looping was easy, lifting underspins was easier than other tensors that ive tried except for their soft versions like rakza 7 soft which for me is an excellent rubber for an all out looping game, you know its a high throw rubber because when you loop an underspin it clears the net a foot or two
the topsheet is supple and grippy, serves are spinny like tenergy and also its not affected much by incoming spin so it makes life easier in service receive and short pushes, same is true with T05
blocking is also good, catapult effect is there so not muck effort on blocking
smashing and hitting is average, although i dont hit and smash a lot, T05 is better in this department IMHO
loops, counterloops and loopdrives are good, well i must say tenergy is better because its faster without sacrificing the spin, so for more offensive game T05 i better
all in all P5 is a good allround new generation rubber/tensor, its a good bet if you want to go tensor from classic rubbers
in the end P5 is no tenergy but same can be said in reverse like tenergy is no P5, feel is different as well as playing characteristics
P5 offers an allround game so it does not really shine from anything except for its excellent control but it nothing bad can be said about it either, so like ive said before its a good and safe bet
for me its 1 of the better alternative for the super expensive tenergy
for most high level players i know they would still choose tenergy since its a more offensive rubber but then again they are high level player and im not
lastly p5 is no tenergy replacement or clone, no rubber plays exactly the same hence the word ALTERNATIVE
but remember that its just my opinion and im no high level player so its very subjective and i know others may disagree, but i just want to share my experience with it, i just hope its a durable rubber
