xiom or tenergy?

[wilfred888]

I've used Tenergy 05 and Xiom Omega III, and I found the spinniness of Omega lasted longer and overall performance was better.

I've heard good things about the Xiom family, but most loopers love tenergy once they get used to it! Its especially good for backhand looping!

I've used Tenergy 25, 05 and 64. I liked the 05 on my backhand, but for the rest I've never been crazy about any of them. But that is probably because I compared them to speed glued rubbers

Use Tenergy! i feel that it is much more better than XIOM. if u prefer bouncy rubbers try XIOM but if u prefer tensor rubbers, try Tenergy,

On my sheet of Omega IV it says it's a BIOS Tensor.

Xiom omega asia is good, almost same exact feel as tenergy... Starting to think that xiom and butterfly know each others secrets .. Anyway Xiom rubber very good and less price.. on TTnPP you can get xiom sigma 2 for 35USD!!!!

Just wondering... what Xiom would be closest to T05-FX... I'm not ready for a replacement yet, but I like to know my options as I have always considered Xiom if I didn't have the money for another sheet of Tenergy.

If you doesn't mind about the price tenergy have their own feel but Xiom is not that specific but it's also a good one.

I feel Xiom has made great improvement these few years.
Xiom imo is might better than Tenergy
- much cheaper
- durability is similar
- more choice to suite your game/style

Tenergy is realy onlt doing well, because of Butterfly's market dominant.
Dominant doesn't mean good product, and that is why we can see so many brands taking business away from "monopoly" Tenergy.
Of course, you have many people that want to use Tenergy because of Butterfly logo. So if they call it Butterfly XYZ, those people will switch to XYZ too.

Xiom rubbers are also much lighter than the Tenergy series, at least the ones I've tried anyway.
I now have a sheet of Vega Europe and Omega IV Pro on a Stradivarius blade and it is 13g lighter than what it was before- with Tenergy 05, 05fx.

Tenergy worth every penny for its performance / durability, my Xiom Sigma 2 Euro and Pro aren't bad rubbers but the durability makes me back to Tenergy.

Like to ask, how long does a Tenergy last you, vs your S2E?
and how many hours per week?

I feed a lot with my S2E (easily, 5 hours a week, min 5000 hits), going on for 10 months, and its starting to fade (colour) a bit, but I still feel it is powerful enough to continue using. I use Black side to feed.

I used too play with Tenergy 64 on my backhand it was great for me but after all it was a little bit expensive and then I tried Xiom Vega Pro 2,2 mm to be honest when playing I did almost feel no difference at all. but there was one downside and that is the lag of spin on the rubber. When playing a fast backhand topspin my opponents usually block it over the table but instead they blocked it into the net.

Im trying Sriver G3-FX at the moment. Its great for flicking and initiate attacking with the backhand but for the second ball I feel like I have less controll than usual but I gues I still have to get used to the rubber because the sponge is softer than other rubbers I recently used.

Too sad I cant play now due injury :/

Tenergy is by far a better rubber. I have used xiom omega 3 and omega 4 for about a year and switched to t05 and t64. Tenergy gives you much better control for chopping, which, in my view, is a significant weak point of the omega series. It also returns the ball faster when blocking. When you flip with bh, you definitely get more power.
The only thing is that you need some time to get used to it, especially if you are used to omega series. My impression is for omega seires, the larger your arm swing, the more spin and power you will get. However, with tenergy, you need only small, fast movement to generate power and spin. I took me about half a year to get used to it.

tenergy 64 or xiom omega 4....and if xiom omega 4... wich, pro, asia, or euro!!!

 

[Kera]

Tenergy... But be careful, maybe you want to reconsider your decision since 64 are really soft, maybe 05 will be a better choice!

 

[Samer]

I have stayed loyal to Tenergy 05 for quite a while now, but I decided I needed a change. Did not want to go back to Tibhar's Nimbus so I decided a step in between is the best choice, so I got the Giant Dragons posted on the left.
In my opinion, Tenergy is an excellent rubber for your blade but is rather expensive compared to the Xiom.
I'm gonna stick with Tenergy if you have the financial means (not that it's THAT expensive, just saying).

[Rik Van Dyck]

Tenergy is best

 

[Fanexxx]

From these options I would go with Tenergy. If you want a cheap rubber with good speed/spin consider also Rhyzm

 

[titipmorne]

Let me tell you something... Yasaka Mark V... its awesome with a good fast carbon blade.. and a booster !!

no comparison wat so ever ..!!
