Butterfly Tenergy 80

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 80Its a pretty nice rubber that suits my backhand. It is very nice on shortgames where i can recieve service on my bh pretty easy, since its not so bouncy on shortgames. Bh flicks are easy, and chops are surprisingly easy. So as many says it is good as all around rubber. What i dont agree with people is that they say it is softer than tenergy 05. When loop or do any kinds of hits it feels harder than tenergy 05 but kt feels softer when u pinch it. So i guess it feels harder than it is. Service is nice with lots of spin. But block is alittle diffrent from what im used to (using xiom sigma euro). I used a robot that shoots topspin and when i blocked the ball with my bh the ball just went straight up to the roof. So i had to adjust alittle but not much, but after a few hits i got used to blocking with it. All in all its a great bh rubber imo.Jun 15, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Xiom TauUse:Butterfly Innerforce ALC FH: Xiom Tau BH: Xiom Sigma Euro I Coming from using H3 NEO, this is possible the closest rubber to a Boosted H3 NEO. Just faster with less controll. The package is nice and proffessional looking like all other xiom rubbers. The rubber comes in square'ish as the sigma series and above, with oval shape on both sides with black sponge wich looks so nice TBH. It also is protected with a see through plastic that can be used for protecting the rubber when not in use, something that i really apreciated. When i glued it on i first noticed that its alittle heavier than H3 Neo since my setup got heavier. When i dropped the ball on the rubber it bounces a few times more than on the H3 NEO but quickly stops due to the tackieness of the rubber. And thats where the controll comes in. But the Rubber isnt as tacky as i expected, it should be more tacky IMO. Play: First thing i noticed is that the rubber is pretty fast. Loops were pretty nice as H3 NEO but less controllable due to more catapult effect. H3 neo is more dead. Though the rubber is hard the ball digs very deep so that you can feel the ball better and makes the rubber easy to loop with. Counterloop were great. But smashes were alittle hard.. the ball would almost always miss a few inches from the table maybe because im used to H3 Neo. But that is something i can regulate while playing with it. Forhand drive was also alittle weird or different. I had to make a more upwards move. Short Game: As controllable as H3 NEO. Bounces alittle bit mor but easy to regulate on how to recieve. Flicks were easy. Blocks: are almost as control able as H3 neo but shoots back alittle faster due to the catapulteffect it has. Serves: I pretty much served better with this rubber as i got used to it in a few hours. I could generate alot of spin with it, Underspin, sidespin and even topspin serves were pretty fast. slow or fast serve improved for me. I think it's easier to serve with it because of the catapult effect and that its alittle softer than H3 NEO. I havent tried this one on BH since i think this rubber is purely made for FH Loops. Though its a heavier set up i think this is my ultimate setup so far with Xiom Sigma Euro on BH. Xiom Tau can be improved with a tackier sheet. If you are a H3 NEO user i would recommend this rubber if you want a faster upgrade of H3 NEO. As Xiom says: Raise your standard and Win with Us! May 23, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
