This rubber bears a striking resemblance to its counterpart, the T64, in terms of throw angle, speed, and spin. Having experimented with the 05FX and the 80FX, the T64FX ощущается distinctively different. Since I’ve employed all the aforementioned FX rubbers on my backhand, this review will focus solely on its performance in that position.
For this assessment, I used the T64FX (Red, 2.1mm) on a Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ZLC. The thicker sponge was selected out of concern that, like other FX rubbers, it would prioritize spin over speed. However, this apprehension proved unfounded. This rubber closely resembles the standard T64 in its straightforward nature. Despite its softer sponge, the T64FX does exhibit a slight reduction in speed while boasting enhanced spin capabilities. Consequently, in protracted rallies, the T64FX often compels you to adopt a defensive lob when forced into the backhand, whereas the standard T64 offers the flexibility to either continue the rally or resort to a lob for strategic repositioning.
The nuances between these rubbers become even more evident when dealing with backspin. The T64FX demands a pronounced knee bend and a forehead-angled motion to counteract backspin effectively, resulting in increased spin and bounce. In contrast, the standard T64 requires a swift, circular motion, primarily driven by wrist and forearm power.
Ultimately, personal preferences and blade choice will determine which rubber is more suitable. While I favor the T64 for its superior speed and versatility, the T64FX offers a compelling alternative for those seeking enhanced spin. I hope this review has provided valuable insights. Let’s keep the game of table tennis alive and well!

One of the better backhand rubbers out there. The only con (as with all Tenergies) is the price.

As a light FX rubber, I am satisfied.
