Butterfly Tenergy 05 FX
Rubber description:
The Butterfly Tenergy 05 FX is a high-performance table tennis rubber that is marketed as a more “control-oriented” version of the popular Tenergy 05 rubber. It features a softer sponge than the regular Tenergy 05, which gives it a longer dwell time and more control, while still retaining much of the spin and speed potential.
Tackiness: The Tenergy 05 FX is described as having excellent tackiness and spin potential, with reviewers praising its ability to generate heavy topspin and sidespin. The soft sponge allows the ball to sink into the rubber, further enhancing the spin.
Weight: The Tenergy 05 FX is considered a medium-weight rubber, with a weight of 5.4g in the 1.9mm thickness. This weight provides a good balance between speed, spin, and control.
Durability: Most reviewers report good durability from the Tenergy 05 FX, with the rubber lasting several months of regular use, especially for advanced players who can properly maintain and care for the rubber.
Alternatives: The Tenergy 05 FX is often compared to other high-end tensor rubbers like the Tenergy 05, Xiom Vega Europe, and Rasanter R42. While the Tenergy 05 FX is a bit slower and has more control than the regular Tenergy 05, it is still considered an excellent choice for advanced offensive players who prioritize spin and control over pure speed.

Hello, I have the ZLF blade. I put Bluefire M1 on the forehand and Bluefire M2 on the backhand. The wind is fast, very fast, and the blow of the tree is loud. Which rubbers are suitable for Timo Bo’s ZLF tree that combines control and speed? Thank you.

I am an intermediate-advanced player and use this rubber on my forehand. I love it and am considering using it on my backhand as well, but I’m not sure. Can you guys give me some reviews and examples of your experiences with it on the backhand side?

Review:
It works well with stiffer blades. If you find it too springy, use regular 05. I think it is a bit too soft for forehand. Probably the best backhand rubber, banana flicks are way better with this one than regular 05, easier to perform. Other than that, regular Ten05 is better to me.
On soft, flexible blades, it can be really spin sensitive and hard to control. Not that good for beginners. I would say since it doesn’t provide that good of a blade feeling compared to other soft rubbers from this range of hardness. I would say you need a blade with really good feeling and control if you wanna start with this one as your BH rubber. I can definitely get a better feedback from Ten05FX on blades that have a harder outer ply.
To me, it is one of the top BH rubbers. It is not as “feedback-y”, explosive, and ball bending as XIOM Vega Europe, but it is overall more direct and better if you have proper technique.
