This is my first rubber review so please bare with me as I am new to this. I have recently gotten a new pair of T25 and it seems not many people have tried it. In my club no one has played with it or used it before and it seems that seems to be the case almost anywhere.
After playing with it for 2 days and a total of 12-16 hours this is my review.
Drives: Driving on T25 is very stable close to the table and can produce the same amount of spin and speed as T05. Although playing mid-distance can be very hard. After testing things out. I have found that driving a quick off the bounce is easier on this than T05.
Looping: Looping on this is hard AF. This is not a looping rubber at all.
Short-Short: This part of the rubber seems to be very underrated. I have found that this is easier, than any other rubbers I have used in the past. Like Hurricane 3, MXS, JP03, Etc. (Those grippy rubbers)
Blocking: Blocks on T25 feels very crisp and nice. Due to the bouncy nature of this rubber it is easy to get the ball back on the table nice and low. I myself am a chop blocker and I feel very confident chop blocking those 2000+ loops. It is one of the best chop blocking rubbers out there, but MXS is the best active blocking rubber I have tried.
Counters: Countering on T25 shows its true color. Holy Moly this rubber is insanely quick and can end the point directly with angles and spin. Playing a counter on this is the best. It seems to be easier to counter right off the bounce.
Backhand Chikita: This is actually a surprise to me. This rubber is made for those chikitas. The insane speed and spin on this is unrivaled. I have gotten many direct points from a 2200 rated player with this, when I normally don't . The person told me that the ball was so quick he had no time to react, when he knew it was coming. Along with receiving he said he can't underestimate the spin on it as well. This has been the best one I have used and can't wait to see how the new Dignics 05 will compare to this.
Flat-hits: Does the job, but no power or speed.
Summary of the Rubber: The T25 is a specialist rubber imo. Not made for those who have a looping or driving game. This is made for those who like to do quick off the bounce. This acts almost like a short pips rubber, but with the added element of spin. I found the rubber to be easier on the backhand than the forehand. It is quite hard to use it mid distance and far away. Backhand flips/flicks are really easy to execute. So if you are those who always flip on receive this may be the rubber for you, but if you are those who hesitate to do so than look away. This is not the rubber for you. The T25 is a very unique rubber imo. Driving is so so T05 is better, along with looping. Blocking is easier than T05. It is a really high arcing rubber so being closer to the table is better. Serving can depend on how well you serve honestly.
So this is my review on Tenergy 25. I tried my best so please go easy on me. If I have missed anything please let me know and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability. Thanks. Have a good one.
