Tenergy 05 vs Tenergy 05fx

[MOG]

Hi

as many know I have largely used Tenergy 05fx for years.

Is it time to wear my big boy pants and use Tenergy 05 in Max?

05fx = easy access to spin, very spinny forehand loops, decent drives.
bouncy on serve return, the slightest mis read exaggerated to hell
very inconsistent on blocking or countering hard incoming loops and drives, maybe too bouncy

but so easy to loop fast and slow long and short

If i switch to 05

is it better for hitting
is it not as bouncy on serve return
is it better for counter hitting
is it better for counter looping off table
is it better for serving tight ( not so prone to bounce that tad too high )
is it better for pushing tight low returns

Basically is it going to be better for the ABS ball

And for the same input on a brushy loop does it throw lower or higher than 05fx? This may be the most important question.

is it better for hitting - I think different players will have different opinions on this one
is it not as bouncy on serve return - yes
is it better for counter hitting - I think different players will have different opinions on this one
is it better for counter looping off table - I counter loop better with it
is it better for serving tight ( not so prone to bounce that tad too high ) - yes
is it better for pushing tight low returns - yes

Basically is it going to be better for the ABS ball - In my opinion, yes

And for the same input on a brushy loop does it throw lower or higher than 05fx? This may be the most important question. - definitely higher

The hard thing for me will be trying it for long enough and not giving up after 1 erratic result or bad night!

Haha. Been there, done that.

Tenergy 19 is softer feeling, better in short game, more stable in blocks and hits. Longer flatter arc. Less dive. Currently using 05 forehand and 19 backhand.

does anyone still use Tenergy 05/05fx? If so why - what do you benefit from opposed to the Dignics range?
