I do not know which one I have heard about the Tenergy been great for jpen but I have heard the dignics 80 has better control which I think I could benefit from
I love my Dignics 80 on my BH. Tenergy 05 is too bouncy and spin sensitive for me

I am using Tenergy 25fx on my FH, the least spin sensitive version of the Tenergy family.

Dignics 80 is the best rubber in the world.

I haven't seen 1 single negative review from anyone who has used Dignics 80.

Everyone universally seems to like Dignics 80.

You can't go wrong. That rubber is the best. It does EVERYTHING well.

Why would anyone bash their own equipment that suits their playing style, different rubbers have different tradeoffs as any particular change in their characteristics will have both positive effects in some areas and negative in others. There isn’t a perfect rubber, there’s what suits your style and technique.

Go on megaspin and revspin

For Dignics 80, you will find ZERO negative reviews

Now do the same for Tenergy 05. You’ll see plenty of negative reviews.

Dignics 80 = universally liked rubber. People never have anything negative to say. But this is not the case with those other rubbers, for example.

Negative reviews for Tenergy 05:


3 stars out of 5:
This rubber is good at the begining but it is litteraly a catapult I kinda like it on my FH but hate it on my BH it just rockets away. It is also very sensitive and not really durable i recommend Dignics 05 it is expensive but trust me it will last longer and you have more control.

2.5 stars out of 5:
A disappointment.

Only good for topspining, looping and speed. Nothing else.

Control is catastrophal: one stroke in the same conditions never gives the same results - > very unpleasant springy catapult effect and elastic caoutchouc sensation.

DHS Goldarc 8, DHS Hurricane 3, Thibar MX-P or Yasaka Mark V, Joola Rhyzm.. Have a much better feeling with a much more reliable throw results in short game and blocks and are globally much more forgiving.


another one:

Despite the hype about this rubber, I would not recommend it for developing players. It does not teach you, does not improve your preformance. It's really amazing for advanced players but at lower skill levels you might have problems with control and short strokes. Besides, it's considerably overpriced. Xiom Vega Pro, Yasaka Rakza X, and other ESN tensors will be a very good replacement for Tenergy series.
If you're a developing player, go with a "hybrid" rubber for your forehand (tacky with a slight catapult effect like Tibhar Hybrid K1, Yinhe (Galaxy) Big Dipper, Moon Pro, Jupiter or simiar. They "teach" you the right technique. They cost nothing but your progress with topspins will skyrocket.



another one:

It is a bad rubber for:
FH drive is impossible to keep the ball on the table, inconsistent in some strokes, you wonder why the ball bounces out of control, sensitive to spins, feels softer than 45 degrees, you can't hit hard the services because the ball will come out from the table, difficult short services, too high angle, too high price, you pay high price to lose control in FH.


Now I understand why Chinese players do not use this rubber in FH, you cannot put energy in your arm because you will be very inconsistent, I would recommend using it in BH, I have felt more control in FH using tenergy 80.

I will return to nittaku g1 is excellent in everything at 50% of the price



another one:

Nothing extraordinary. The rubber is not long lasting and you may find a similar rubber with cheaper price.


3.5 stars out of 5:
If you are a professional player, this is the rubber for you. If you are a club level player, this is NOT the rubber for you.
Pros: Amazing rubber for looping at mid distance. Great for flicking and starting rallies. Decent at blocking. Its a looping machine and generates a lot of spin. BUT has a trade off (see below).
Cons: Very very sensitive to incoming spin. You dont do a serve return with this rubber. You flick or loop to get the rally started. There is always a trade off. This rubber has no control. Your technique has to be perfect (hence a professional player)
You can't smash the ball and end rallies with this rubber (unless you are using the max thickness) which has no control close to the table. Trade offs again.

It is very expensive for a club level player. I can buy 2 Rakza7 sheets (which is better performance to price ratio IMO) for 1 tenergy sheet.

Secret to beating the Tenergy players in my club. Generate a lot of diff spin mixed with diff lengths, it is hard for tenergy players to control spin. They try and loop everything, or go defensive and you attack. Do not try and loop with them. Dont play to their strengths, but expose their (tenergy) weakness. Variation with high spin, and the tenergy players are out of their element - cant loop all the time and it becomes unforgiving for them. I think JO Waldner would easily dismantle tenergy pros with his ALL+ Round game.






I can keep going. You catch my drift? There are PLENTY of negative reviews for Tenergy 05.

Not a single negative review anywhere?
Everyone in the universe loves Dignics 80 😂

So this is all fact and nothing to do with rubber selection is subjective or to do with playing style?
I know a guy who plays pimples and he hates D80😉
You really go all in when trashing and praising stuff eh.
It will be funny in a year when you move on from D80 and we can read your bash lists about it!

You see how many negative reviews Tenergy 05 gets? See my previous post.

Dignics 80 doesn't really have any of those.
There are so many people who cannot use T05 because they are not good enough to control it.
You know people play TT at different levels right?
Those that can't control T05 are the same people that can't get even half of the maximum from D80.
Recommending either to anyone without knowing the players game and level is just noise for the sake of noise
