Butterfly Tenergy 80 FX

Love to play usong this rubber because it always consistence...block...chop...flick...smash...loop....just name it...just love this rubber...

My Favourite backhand rubber ....easiest to control amongst all backhand tenergy rubbers i have tested ..t05 fx feels very fast and bouncy and mushy ..80fx feels perfect .not too fast nor too buncy and not at all mushy if u play with your thumb ..easy to flick returns ..easy to lift backspin ..easy to punch or chop ,push...blocking is little tough near the table but 1 2 steps away from the table it's easy to block even heavy topspin.

Tried this rubber for about 6 months but I could not used to the soft sponge. I could compare tenergy 80 to this FX version cause that was what I was using at my FH at that time. I wrote my review at the tenergy 80 so I would refer to that. For my playstyle that rubber was way better then the FC version. The FX is still fast and short game is good but i found less control in it then the regular one cause the ball digs in the sponge far easier. The catapult effect of tenergy gets engaged with it easier aswell which for me lead to balls sailing over the table. I found that control on regular tenergy 80 was far more consistent.

Tenergy 80 FX is a rubber a little lacking in speed and spin when compared to other modern rubbers but has very good control. When I first tried it on my backhand I did not like it at all as passive hits came out far too weak and stronger hits tended to go too long. However after trying it again and adjusting my footwork and technique (circular looping stroke), I found it to be very reliable. Where it excels is in the block but I could also solidly flick and power loop after getting used to it but I wouldn't say it does either of these very well. This rubber has fewer gears than T80 and has significantly less spin and speed. I would only play this on a hard 7-ply blade as it comes out very mushy on a 5-ply all wood. I feel like T80 FX serves a different purpose in being deliberately weaker but slightly less demanding than its siblings. It is a "jack of all trades but master of none" so it works well for people who aren't sure what they are looking for in a backhand rubber and acts as the gateway to the Tenergy series as it is the easiest one to transition into. However if you can help it, I'd recommend sticking to Sriver or Mark V until you are truly ready for one of the 'real' Tenergy rubbers. Notes: An uncut sheet weighs 65g and cut (normal sized Stiga head) is 43g. I played with this on a 7-ply Carbon (5+2) blade - Stiga Super Carbon WRB. My playstyle is backhand dominated two-winged shakehand looper.

Good Rubber for BH. Nothing special btw. Ok for mid-range game, it requires high sensibility for short game. Good for block, and active block. Not very spinny. FX for more control.
