Butterfly doesn’t release new flagship rubbers often. When they do, the table tennis world pays attention. The Zyre 03 represents Butterfly’s first major departure from high-tension design since Tenergy launched in 2008. Instead of following the established formula, they’ve gone in the opposite direction: an ultra-thin topsheet paired with their thickest Spring Sponge X ever made. It’s a gamble. Thin topsheets typically sacrifice durability. Thick sponges can feel detached from the blade. Butterfly is betting they’ve solved both problems with what they’re calling “Ricosheet Technology.” After twenty hours with the 2.5 mm sheet on my Sanwei Nova Carbon, I wanted to find out if this new direction is evolution or experiment. BUTTERFLY ZYRE 03 REVIEW SUMMARYThe Butterfly Zyre 03 is Butterfly’s newest flagship rubber, featuring Ricosheet Technology that pairs an ultra-thin topsheet with their thickest Spring Sponge X yet. Released in late 2025, it targets advanced offensive players who prioritize spin-heavy, aggressive looping.After hours of testing, Zyre 03 transformed my counterlooping game. The combination of extreme grip, high arc, and powerful catapult gave me confidence to attack from positions I’d normally defend. Mid-distance rallies became hunting grounds rather than survival zones.The rubber excels at counterlooping (both close and mid-distance), opening loops against backspin, and generating heavy spin at all speeds. The high trajectory provides exceptional safety margins, while the grip ensures the ball never slips even on thin brushes. Durability appears excellent with no visible wear after roughly twenty hours.However, Zyre 03 demands commitment. Half-hearted strokes produce inconsistent results. Passive blocking is genuinely difficult. The short game requires precision and adjustment. This isn’t a forgiving rubber for developing players or those who value touch above power.For intermediate to advanced offensive players seeking to dominate with spin and aggression, Zyre 03 delivers. For those prioritizing control, touch, or passive play, look elsewhere.Perfect for: Advanced loopers who thrive on spin pressure and continuous attack. Not for: Passive players, or those still refining timing and touch.Playing Experience & SurfaceBuild Quality & DurabilityBenefitsExceptional spin generation at all speedsPredictable, high-arc trajectory for safety and precisionExcellent mid-distance power and stabilityEasier to access than D09C for non-tacky usersDrawbacksSensitive to touch in the short gameLess forgiving on passive blocks or half-strokesPremium price even above Dignics seriesDemands consistent engagement for best results About the Reviewer David brings 20 years experience as a player, with 10 of those coaching players of all ages and standards. His style is The All-Rounder About the Review Blade Used: Sanwei Nova CarbonRubber Thickness: 2.5mmHours Tested: 20+Test Levels: Intense training & match play vs. intermediate–advanced opponents Design and Construction of Zyre 03 Zyre 03 represents Butterfly’s first major departure from high-tension design since Tenergy launched in 2008. They’ve inverted the traditional formula: ultra-thin topsheet over the thickest Spring Sponge X ever made. Theyâ€ve called it “Ricosheet Technologyâ€. The topsheet uses extremely low, dense pimples that (in theory) let the ball sink deeper into the rubber surface, with the intention that you get immediate contact with the high-energy sponge layer while the topsheet still grips long enough for control. Beneath sits 2.5mm or 2.7mm of Spring Sponge X at 44 degrees hardness. This combination would normally create problems. Thick sponges feel detached from the blade. Hard sponges prevent proper compression. Together, they should feel mushy and unresponsive. Butterfly claims their porous cell structure solves this. The large, uniform cells are designed to compress efficiently despite the firmness, providing what they call “elastic stability.” The theory suggests you should get the gearing of hard rubber without the typical dead feel. The thin topsheet should maximise the sponge’s catapult effect. Butterfly’s testing indicates the arc apex sits roughly 3cm higher than Dignics 05, with balls landing 20cm deeper. They also claim 40% better impact resistance, as the thin topsheet flexes rather than tears under point impacts. As this distributes impact across a wider area, you should see less performance degradation than other rubbers. If it works as designed, Zyre 03 would combine Dignics 09C’s spin and control with Tenergy 05’s speed and trajectory. A solution to the long-standing problem of maximising energy transfer without sacrificing durability or feel. Letâ€s get it out of the packet and stuck on a carbon blade (Sanwei’s Nova Carbon) to find out if itâ€s worked. Current Availability At the time of writing, Zyre 03 is available in two sponge thicknesses: 2.5mm and 2.7mm (sometimes listed as MAX). Both come in black and red topsheets. SpecificationsWeight (Cut): ~47g when cut to standard bladeSpeed: HighSpin: Very HighControl: HighTackiness: Non-tackyHardness Options: 44° butterfly scaleITTF Approved: YesSponge Thickness: 2.5mm or 2.7mmSummary: The Butterfly Zyre 03 represents a bold departure from traditional high-tension design, combining extreme spin generation with a confidence-inspiring high arc. Exceptional for counterlooping and mid-distance rallies, though it demands active technique and punishes passive play. Not suited for beginners or players prioritizing touch and blocking, but transformative for intermediate to advanced offensive players who want to dominate rallies with aggressive, spin-heavy loops.  Recommended Playstyles We recommend the Butterfly Zyre 03 to advanced offensive players who want to dominate rallies with aggressive, spin-heavy loops and counterloops. Initial Impressions Out of the packet, the Zyre 03 feels dense yet balanced. Once glued to the Nova Carbon, it delivered immediate liveliness. On soft hits the ball sank into the sponge, rebounding predictably. The first drives felt crisp with a sharp “clack” rather than the muted feel of tackier rubbers. Within a few minutes of looping, I noticed the throw was significantly higher than Dignics 05. The ball cleared the net comfortably and dipped late, giving a feeling of security even when mistiming slightly. Against 09C, the difference was immediate: where 09C’s tackiness creates a sticky dwell, Zyre 03 felt cleaner through the contact. Less adhesive grip, more mechanical bite. Yet it still grabbed heavy backspin confidently, suggesting the thin topsheet was doing its job. The rubber demands commitment from the first stroke. Half-hearted swings produce inconsistent results. The sponge needs proper activation to deliver its qualities, and I quickly discovered that tentative contact leaves you wondering where the ball will land. This threshold became clear during my first session. Loops landing deeper than expected weren’t mistimings, they were under-committed strokes where I expected the rubber to do more work. Once I engaged the sponge properly with full body rotation, the trajectory became predictable. Zyre 03 very clearly doesn’t forgive lazy technique, but it rewards proper execution immediately. Considering Iâ€m a lazy player, I was forced to dial-in and play shots very intentionally when using the Zyre. Serving and Short Game Serving with the Zyre 03 demands fine brush contact. The topsheet has excellent mechanical grip but does not cling to the ball like 09C. When executed well, spin levels are extremely high. With proper technique, I could load serves with as much spin as 09C, though the faster rebound meant I had to be more precise with my contact. The ball comes off faster, which means you need a lighter touch to keep serves short. With a good brushing action, I could produce very heavy sidespin and underspin, but the margin for error is smaller. My half-long serves were particularly effective, biting the table and kicking forward hard. During receive, the high arc becomes your friend. Banana flicks felt natural and confident because the topsheet grips so consistently. On touch receives, pushes require relaxation and a gentle touch. The hard sponge won’t activate on gentle contact, which helps, but if you’re stiff or contact too thickly the ball will travel long. Once dialed in, pushes stay low with good control. After a few sessions, I could manage depth easily, but beginners might find it lively. Overall, the short game sits between Dignics 09C and Tenergy 05 in control. It is less forgiving than 09C but offers more security than 05 once you learn to judge the required touch. Opening Loops Against Backspin Opening loops are where the Zyre 03 truly excels. The combination of topsheet grip and sponge rebound lifts underspin effortlessly. Even from a static position, brushing through heavy backspin felt smooth and predictable. The difference from Dignics 09C is striking. Where 09C requires you to compress a hard, tacky surface and drive deep into the sponge, Zyre 03’s catapult does more of the work. You still need to commit to the stroke fully, but proper technique produces more result for the same effort. This efficiency lets you focus on placement and spin variation without grinding through each opening. Slow spin-loaded open-ups land deep and kick forward with authority. When you increase acceleration, the trajectory rises higher but still dips sharply, producing a ball that bites into the opponent’s side of the table. Against strong pushers, I could vary pace easily, alternating between slow, heavy openers and fast loop drives without losing consistency. On the Nova Carbon, the feedback through the handle was clear. I never felt the ball slip, even on thin brushes. This predictability builds confidence and encourages aggressive play. Counterlooping and Rally Play Counterlooping with Zyre 03 changed how I approach rally play entirely. This rubber gave me a level of confidence in aggressive counterattacking that I’ve never experienced before. Iâ€m not kidding when I say that mid-distance rallies became my hunting ground rather than a defensive position. The Zyre 03 produces exceptional power with minimal effort. Counterloops off heavy topspin carry a heavy, arcing trajectory that accelerates after the bounce, forcing weak returns even from strong opponents. Playing from mid-distance felt effortless. The high arc cleared the net with room to spare, yet the ball still arced quickly and landed deep on the table. Even when pushed back three metres from the table, I could generate enough spin and pace to keep opponents under pressure. Every counter felt dangerous. Close to the table is where Zyre 03 truly shines though. Yes, you need to close the racket angle slightly to account for the catapult, but once adjusted, counterlooping becomes almost automatic. The combination of grip, arc, and power means you can redirect heavy topspin with authority. Compact counter-topspins felt natural and devastatingly effective. The ball shoots forward with pace and dips sharply onto the table. I found myself taking on shots I would normally block or push. The rubber’s feedback is so clear and the margin for error so generous (thanks to the high arc) that aggressive counterattacking became my default response. Players who rely on quick exchanges will find Zyre 03 is excellent for their rally game. The only caution is that the rubber expects you to stay active. If you hesitate or relax during the stroke, the catapult engages late and the ball can sail long. This behaviour is typical of high-performance offensive rubbers and should not surprise experienced players, but it separates Zyre 03 from easier options like Rozena. Blocking and Passive Control Blocking with Zyre 03 rewards the same aggressive mindset that makes counterlooping so effective. Passive blocking is genuinely difficult with this rubber. On the Nova Carbon, simply putting the bat in front of the ball sends it long. The catapult doesn’t care about your intentions. But active blocks? Exceptionally good. The topsheet grips cleanly, so you can redirect pace and add light topspin that keeps the ball low. It feels like a controlled counter more than a block, which perfectly suits the rubber’s character. The grip and arc mean you can take the ball early and punch it back with authority. Where softer rubbers absorb and dampen, Zyre 03 redirects with added venom. For those who like to block aggressively or punch through the ball, this is a weapon. Players who rely on passive control will need time to adjust or may prefer something slower. A good pushing option, but only if you can contact softly to avoid the catapult effect! A note on blade pairing: the blocking difficulty I experienced stems partly from using the Nova Carbon, a fast OFF carbon blade that amplifies the rubber’s catapult. Players who prioritize blocking and passive control could pair Zyre 03 with a slower, softer blade (ALL to OFF-) to tame the spring effect. The trade-off is reduced attacking power, but for players who value defensive stability, a softer blade pairing could make Zyre 03 more versatile. Durability and Consistency Butterfly claims Zyre 03 improves impact resistance by around forty percent compared with D05. My experience roughly supports this, but without enough evidence yet. After twenty hours of drills and matches, there were no visible surface tears or marks. The grip remained consistent and cleaning was simple, just a damp sponge after a training session. Weâ€ll see how that holds up over a few months and update this review! Unlike tacky rubbers, Zyre 03 does not require constant protective film or frequent boosting. The surface does not attract dust easily, and the performance feels stable week to week. Comparing Zyre 03 to Butterfly’s Flagship Rubbers Zyre 03 vs Dignics 09C Both rubbers share high spin potential, but the experience is different. D09C’s tackiness creates a longer dwell and a heavier feel at impact. It excels in the short game and in controlled spin exchanges. Zyre 03 removes the stickiness and replaces it with a more dynamic, springy feel. In practice, Zyre 03 is faster and easier to use for continuous looping. It lifts underspin with less effort and generates a deeper ball. D09C still wins in touch shots and delicate receives where minimal catapult is preferred. Players who hit hard and stay in rallies will find Zyre 03 the more aggressive option. Read our Dignics 09C review for more detail. Zyre 03 vs Dignics 05 D05 shares the same 44° hardness rating but feels firmer due to its stiffer topsheet. Where Zyre 03’s thin topsheet flexes and creates dwell, D05 is more direct and immediate. Zyre 03 produces more spin and a higher arc, which translates into greater safety on counterloops. The key difference lies in their strengths: D05 excels at blocking and close-to-table control with its firm, stable feel. Zyre 03 dominates in open rallies and counterlooping with its grip and arc. D05 rewards precise placement and tight angles. Zyre 03 rewards commitment and continuous aggression. If you value control and play mostly at the table, D05 remains a steady performer. If you like to open up from mid-distance and dominate with heavy spin, Zyre 03 clearly outperforms it. Read our Dignics 05 review for more detail. Zyre 03 vs Tenergy 05 Tenergy 05 represents a different offensive philosophy. Where Zyre 03 emphasizes grip and arc for safety, T05 relies on elasticity and speed for directness. The Tenergy’s arc is flatter, and its topsheet grip is weaker on slow brushes. Zyre 03 keeps the spin level high even on low-impact contacts. T05 feels bouncier and more reactive, which some players find easier for generating pace with minimal effort. Others find this same quality makes the short game and blocking more difficult. Zyre 03 requires more commitment on each stroke but offers better grip and a more forgiving arc once you adapt to its character. For players seeking maximum spin and rally dominance, Zyre 03 offers a better offensive package. Read our Tenergy 05 review for more detail. Alternatives to the Zyre 03 Butterfly Dignics 09C The tacky predecessor that offers similar spin with more dwell time and better short game control. Slightly slower but more forgiving on delicate touches. Read our Dignics 09C review. Andro Rasanter C53 A hard hybrid rubber that matches Zyre’s counterlooping excellence with similar high throw and grip. Slightly less forgiving but one of the best for close-to-table counters. Read our Andro Rasanter C53 review. Nittaku Fastarc G-1 A more affordable high-arc option with similar trajectory but less power. Better value and easier to control for intermediate players still developing their technique. Read our Nittaku Fastarc G-1 review. Final Verdict After multiple sessions with the Zyre 03, I can comfortably say that it changed the way I play. Perhaps “forced” is the right word for it, but I absolutely loved it. The counterlooping confidence this rubber gave me was unlike anything I’ve experienced. Mid-distance rallies that used to feel defensive became opportunities to attack. The high arc made aggressive play feel safe. The grip made heavy spin feel automatic. The feedback made commitment feel natural. Yes, it demands proper technique. Yes, it punishes half-hearted strokes. Yes, it costs more than Dignics. However, for players who want to dominate rallies with spin-heavy, aggressive loops, Zyre 03 delivers in ways that justify both the learning curve and the price. This isn’t a rubber for everyone. If you rely on passive blocking or delicate short game above all else, look elsewhere. If you’re still developing basic stroke mechanics, wait. However, if you’re an intermediate to advanced player who wants to loop aggressively and counterattack with authority, Zyre 03 might transform your game the way it transformed mine. Butterfly set out to create something revolutionary with Ricosheet Technology. They succeeded. This is the most complete offensive rubber I’ve tested for the modern looping game.

The Butterfly Tenergy 80 is a legendary table tennis rubber. The Tenergy 80 has been the choice of many professional players since its release and itâ€s still used by thousands of high-level players across the world. The Tenergy 80 lies in between the Tenergy 05 and the Tenergy 64, combining the blisteringly fast speed of the 64 with the enormous spin capabilities of the 05. We bought a sheet specifically for this Tenergy 80 review, testing it for 10+ hours to discover exactly how it behaves. BUTTERFLY TENERGY 80 REVIEW SUMMARYThe Butterfly Tenergy 80 is a top-of-the-line offensive rubber. Its sponge is medium-hard and has lots of inbuilt tension. The Tenergy 80 is a very fast and spinny rubber, combining a medium-high arc with a very pronounced parabola. The strongest attribute of this rubber is its offensive versatility. It excels at all kinds of loops, be it open-ups, counters close and away from the table, brushed loops, and power loops. In addition to its looping capabilities, the Tenergy 80 is great for flat hitting, blocking, and serving. All of these attributes make it a superb rubber not only for rally play but also for 3rd ball attacks. The only cons of the Tenergy 80 are its steep price, its sensitivity to incoming spin, and its control in the short game relative to other more controllable offensive rubbers.Perfect for: Intermediate and advanced attackers on the forehand side, advanced offensive players on the backhand side. 4-10+ years of playing.BenefitsSuperb speed and spin.Excels at all kinds of loops.Its safe arc and pronounced parabola give more margin for error.Great for backhand exchanges.Very good for blocking.Serves carry tons of spin.Ball slippage is non-existent.Great for all kinds of spin shots.Weight.Durability.DrawbacksPrice.Spin sensitivity.Hard to control in the short game and the passive serve receive.Unforgiving for players with timing issues or improper technique.

About the Review Blade Used: Stratus Power WoodRubber Thickness: 2.1mmHours Tested: 10+ Page Contents (Quick Links) Toggle Recommended Playstyles We recommend the Butterfly Tenergy 80 to players who want to attack and counterattack with rapid, spinny, high-arcing shots. Design of the Butterfly Tenergy 80 The Butterfly Tenergy 80 comes in a high-quality sealed package. Upon opening the package, we find the rubber. The version we ordered is a shiny red 2.1mm sheet of Tenergy 80. The topsheet of the Tenergy 80 is extremely grippy and slightly tacky. The sponge on the Tenergy 80 is an intense orange color. Its hardness is medium-hard, around 48 degrees ESN. However, the topsheet isnâ€t stiff and the sponge is very dynamic, making it feel softer than it actually is. The Tenergy 80 incorporates two of Butterflyâ€s groundbreaking innovations: the High Tension technology and the Spring Sponge. These technologies allow for powerful, versatile offensive play. The Tenergy 05 was first released with these two technologies in 2008. To this day, most manufacturers are still trying to recreate its playing characteristics, and they still havenâ€t been able to achieve them. This explains the steep price of the Tenergy line. Itâ€s just that thereâ€s nothing out there quite like these rubbers. The difference between the 5 models of Tenergy rubbers (05, 19, 25, 64, and 80), lies in their pimple structure. The distance between the pimples makes a huge difference. The closer the pimples are, the more contact they will have with the ball, producing a harder feel and more rotation. The more spread apart the pimples are, the more spin insensitivity, speed, and softer feel the rubber will have. The Tenergy 05 has a structure in which the pimples are closer together than those in the Tenergy 64. This makes the Tenergy 05 the spinniest of all the Tenergies and also the slowest and most spin sensitive. On the other hand, the Tenergy 64 has its pimples spread wider apart, which gives it more spin insensitivity, makes it softer, and a lot faster. The Tenergy 80 lies just in between these two. This is why the Tenergy 80 is known as the “balanced†Tenergy. It doesnâ€t have as much spin as the Tenergy 05 nor as much speed as the Tenergy 64, but it strikes a great balance between the two. Even though itâ€s touted as a balanced rubber, the Tenergy 80 is still super fast and spinny, as itâ€s essentially the combination of one of the spinniest rubbers ever created with one of the fastest rubbers in the market. Its medium-high arc also lies in between that of the Tenergy 05 and the Tenergy 64: The Butterfly Tenergy 80 weighs in at 48 grams, an excellent weight for a rubber with these playing characteristics.  Similar medium-hard high-end rubbers such as the Tibhar Evolution MX-P (51 grams) and the Andro Rasanter R47 (49 grams) tend to weigh more than the Tenergy 80. The Tenergy line is often compared with the Hurricane 3 given that professional players in Europe use Tenergy rubbers and professional players in China use Hurricane rubbers. There is a substantial weight difference between the Tenergy 80 and the Hurricane 3 NEO (53 grams). This is one of the advantages European rubbers have over Chinese rubbers: their lower weight.

Playtesting the Butterfly Tenergy 80 The Tenergy 80 is a medium / medium-hard, fast, spinny rubber.  I tried it for hours on both wings before deciding that it suits my forehand best. The Tenergy 80 is a great rubber for both wings. In fact, most professional players are likely to use the Tenergy 80 on their backhand side. The reasons why it suited my forehand better than my backhand are its speed levels and its spin sensitivity. Iâ€m not a player who uses the backhand flick much, I generally prefer to touch short or push long.  One of the weaknesses of the Tenergy 80 compared to one of my favorite backhand rubbers, the Rasanter R42, is in its passive serve receive. With the Tenergy 80, I really struggled when receiving my opponentâ€s serves. If I slightly misread the spin on the ball, then Iâ€d pop it up or dump it in the net. However, this is an amazing rubber for backhand exchanges. So, if you feel comfortable receiving serves, then you could use it on your backhand side and youâ€ll be very happy with it. Driving and looping The Tenergy line is made for aggressive looping. Driving with the Tenergy 80 is fine, but loops and flat hits are outstanding. The Tenergy 80 delivers a lively feel in the hand. Drives travel with a high arc, feel stable, and have good speed. When looping, the Tenergy 80 shows its true colors. The Tenergy 80 is nothing but sensational for looping. Loops travel with plenty of safety and instill a sense of confidence in the player. I found that I could get more forehand loops on the table with the Tenergy 80 than with a comparable rubber, the Evolution MX-P. This is due to its arc. The arc on the Tenergy 80 is quite pronounced, whereas the arc on the MX-P is a bit flatter, making it more unforgiving. Forehand loops with the Tenergy 80 carry great speed and spin, a lot more than conventional ESN rubbers. Loops hit with the Tenergy 80 had noticeably more speed and spin than those played with the Rasanter R47 or the Fastarc G-1. A trademark attribute of the Tenergy line is its high arc and bounce. Loops hit with the Tenergy 80 “kick†upwards after bouncing on the table. This makes the opponentâ€s blocks return slightly higher, which gives the attacker more margin for error on the next shot. If I had to choose one, Iâ€d say that countering away from the table is the Tenergy 80â€s best attribute. Playing away from the table requires little effort and the arc is just perfect. The Tenergy 80 is very consistent and itâ€s also very good when picking up low balls.  It has tons of grip, plenty of speed, and a safe, high arc, making it ideal for rallies at mid-distance and away from the table.  As I said before, when the ball bounces on the table, it kicks forwards violently, making it harder for opponents to deal with. This effect is especially noticeable in counterloop rallies. Another attribute I love about the Tenergy 80 is its very satisfying “cracking†sound, which is even more pronounced when countering away from the table:  As for counters close to the table, I initially struggled quite a bit, and itâ€s easy to understand why. The high arc combined with a high spin sensitivity and high speeds made me overshoot the table over and over again. The thing is, I like creating topspin with an open angle. With the Tenergy 80, you have to close the racket angle quite a bit. Once I closed the racket angle more and more, I was able to topspin with great power and consistency. Open-ups were also an area of strength for the Tenergy 80.  Itâ€s more responsive than usual and it also has a relatively high arc, so youâ€re likely to overshoot the table if you contact the ball too thickly.  If you have good timing, however, open-ups require little effort and are loaded with spin. Something that surprised me about the Tenergy 80 was its strength in flat hit shots. The Tenergy 05 is said to be quite weak in this aspect and the Tenergy 64 is great for flat hitting. The Tenergy 80 lies just in between and it strikes a good balance between the two. If you flat-hit the ball with good timing, the rubber will shoot out a very fast ball. The Tenergyâ€s throw also makes flat hitting quite safe, and its hardness makes flat hitting very stable. I really liked flat hitting with the Tenergy 80 on the backhand side. Speaking of which, backhand exchanges are phenomenal with the Tenergy 80 if you have good timing. The Tenergy 80 is great at looping, flat hitting, and blocking, the 3 most used strokes in backhand exchanges. In addition to this, its safe arc and its ease to generate power make it a deadly weapon on the backhand wing. You can play a combination of loops, flat hits, and blocks, and your opponent will have lots of trouble considering the speed of this rubber. In comparison to the Rasanter R42, I scored many more points with the Tenergy 80 in this regard. However, I did make more errors because of its lesser control. In the right hands, the Tenergy 80 is a superb backhand rubber. I liked it more on the forehand side because I was able to control it better, but I can see why so many high-level players choose the Tenergy 80 on the backhand side. Serve and receive Serving and receiving is great with the Tenergy 80. The only caveat is that passive serve receives can be tricky.  In terms of serving, the Tenergy 80 is excellent. Serves carry noticeably more spin than your average rubber. Long serves are also better because of the trampoline effect of the Tenergy 80. The ball shoots off the rubber very quickly and the opponent receives a very fast, spinny ball. However, it must be noted that short serves are more difficult to perform than with other offensive rubbers because of the bouncy nature of the Tenergy 80. If you get used to serving with the Tenergy 80, then youâ€ll be able to serve with any depth and any spin you want. In addition to this, open-ups and loops are great with the Tenergy 80, so itâ€s a very good 3rd-5th ball attack rubber. You can serve backspin and open up, or serve long and loop-kill the following ball. Active serve receives are great with the Tenergy 80. Passive serve receives, not so much. The Tenergy 80 is a superb flicking rubber. Its high arc helps when clearing the net and its spin generation and explosiveness make it a great rubber for the banana flick (or strawberry flick). The grip levels on the Tenergy 80 are superb, so opening up play against short backspin serves is easier than with most other rubbers weâ€ve tried. However, the passive serve receive with the Tenergy 80 is definitely its weakest point in my opinion. I found the Tenergy 80 to be very spin sensitive, so you have to perfectly read your opponents serve and angle your racket perfectly. Against a player with deceptive serves, this leaves you no choice but to actively attack when returning. If you slightly misjudge the spin on the ball, youâ€re going to give your opponent an easy chance to win the point. Touching short is also quite hard because of the Tenergyâ€s bounciness. Blocking and chopping I really liked blocking with the Tenergy 80. The Tenergy 80 has great stability due to its hardness which makes it very confidence-inducing when blocking.  Active blocks also work wonderfully with the Tenergy 80. With a slight flick of the wrist, you can add speed to your opponentâ€s shots, making your blocks very dangerous.  I didnâ€t find regular loops hard to block, in fact, the Tenergyâ€s speed and high arc made blocks quite consistent and powerful. The only time when the Tenergy 80 was a bit hard to control is when trying to block very spinny shots, but if you angle your racket right, then the Tenergy is great for blocking. Chopping is good but hard to execute with the Tenergy 80. You donâ€t really get much dwell time and the Tenergy 80 is quite spin sensitive so you need a really good touch if you want to chop with this rubber. However, most professional table tennis defenders use Tenergy rubbers. Why is this the case? The Tenergy 80â€s potential for chopping is through the roof. The Tenergy 80 generates spin like almost no other rubber. It must be noted that we reviewed a 2.1mm sheet of Tenergy. Thinner variants of the Tenergy 80 would be a lot better for chopping, especially when paired with a defensive blade. This is why weâ€ve given it a 4/5 for chopping.  A 2.1mm Tenergy 80 on an offensive blade, like the one we reviewed, isnâ€t so good for chopping because it lacks control, but if youâ€re looking for a chopping rubber, the Tenergy 80 is excellent. Just make sure to order either the 1.9 or the 1.7mm variants and stick them on a slower blade and the Tenergy 80 will make a superb chopping rubber because of its spin generation. Butterfly Tenergy 80 vs Tibhar Evolution MX-P The speed of the Tenergy 80 is around that of the Tibhar Evolution MX-P, but the Tenergy feels slightly softer, making it a bit less linear. Iâ€d say the Tenergy 80 is bouncier than the MX-P but it has less speed when you start to hit harder and harder. I definitely feel more comfortable receiving serves with the MX-P than with the Tenergy 80. In terms of spin, the Tenergy 80 is slightly superior to the MX-P.  Another difference between the two is that the arc on the Tenergy 80 has more curve and itâ€s a bit higher. This gives the Tenergy 80 more margin for error when looping. The last substantial difference between the Tenergy 80 and the MX-P is their durability. The durability of the Tenergy 80 is vastly superior to that of the MX-P. Learn more in our review of the Tibhar Evolution MX-P. Alternatives to the Butterfly Tenergy 80 Overall reflections on the Butterfly Tenergy 80 The Butterfly Tenergy 80 is a superb offensive rubber. In the end, what surprised me the most about the Tenergy 80 wasnâ€t its spin nor its speed. I already knew before trying it that this rubber was something special in that regard. What I wasnâ€t expecting was its consistency. I found it quite hard to miss the table when looping due to the Tenergy 80â€s safe arc and softer feel than most ultra offensive rubbers. In comparison to the MX-P, a rubber with very similar characteristics, I found that I was a lot more consistent with the Tenergy 80 because of its parabola. The Tenergy 80 is a superb offensive rubber on both wings. Iâ€d encourage you to try it if youâ€re confident in your timing and your serve receive abilities. I personally liked it a lot better on the forehand side because thatâ€s my stronger wing and I was able to make the most out of this fine rubber. However, it also has great characteristics if you want to use it on your backhand side.  I personally made many mistakes on the backhand side because I couldnâ€t handle the speed and spin of the Tenergy 80. I like controlled offensive rubbers such as the Rasanter R42 better. In conclusion, its strengths are looping, blocking, flat hitting, flicking, and counter topspins, so itâ€s a superb rubber for offensive play, provided you can handle its speed and spin sensitivity.

The Butterfly Tenergy 05 marked a “before and after†in the history of table tennis. After release, Tenergy 05 became the choice of countless professionals and it has been used by some of the most prodigious players to ever grab a table tennis racket. It’s still easily one of the best rubbers for your forehand. Tenergy 05 is the spinniest and highest-throwing offering in the Tenergy line, making it an interesting option for players who love to attack with a loop. We bought a sheet specifically for this Tenergy 05 review, testing it for 10+ hours to discover exactly how it behaves. BUTTERFLY TENERGY 05 REVIEW SUMMARYThe Butterfly Tenergy 05 is the most popular offensive rubber, and it has been one of the best-selling rubbers ever since its release in 2008. Its sponge is medium-hard and has lots of inbuilt tension. The Tenergy 05 is a fast and spinny rubber, which combines a high arc with an extreme, pronounced parabola. The strongest attributes of this rubber are its spin, its safety when looping, and its power. It excels at all kinds of loops, whether thatâ€s open-ups, counters close and away from the table, brushed loops, and power loops. The Tenergy 05 is unique for its consistency and safety when looping. All of these attributes make it a superb rubber not only for rally play but also for 3rd ball attacks. The only cons of the Tenergy 05 are its steep price and its sensitivity to incoming spin.Perfect for: Intermediate and advanced attackers on the forehand side, advanced offensive players on the backhand side, intermediate and advanced defenders on the forehand side. 4-10+ years of playing.BenefitsSuperb speed and spin.Great control and safety when looping.Excels at all kinds of loops.Very confidence-inducing.Its safe arc and pronounced parabola give a great margin for error.Great for backhand exchanges.Great for chopping.Serves carry tons of spin.Ball slippage is non-existent.Durability.DrawbacksPrice.Spin sensitivity.Hard to control the passive serve receive.Unforgiving for players with timing issues or improper technique. About the Reviewer Alvaro brings 7+ years of playing experience. He’s tested 20+ rubbers for Racket Insight and his style is The Controller. About the Review Blade Used: Stratus Power WoodRubber Thickness: 2.1mmHours Tested: 10+ Page Contents (Quick Links) Toggle Recommended Playstyles We recommend the Butterfly Tenergy 05 to players who want to attack their opponents with spinny, powerful and consistent loops. Design of the Butterfly Tenergy 05 The Butterfly Tenergy 05 comes in a high-quality sealed package. Upon opening the package, we find the rubber. The version we ordered is a shiny black 2.1mm sheet of Tenergy 05. The topsheet of the Tenergy 05 is extremely grippy and slightly tacky. The sponge on the Tenergy 05 is an intense orange color. Its hardness is medium-hard, around 48 degrees ESN.  The Tenergy 05 incorporates two of Butterflyâ€s groundbreaking innovations: the High Tension technology and the Spring Sponge. These technologies allow for powerful, versatile offensive play. The Tenergy 05 was first released with these two technologies in 2008. To this day, most manufacturers are still trying to recreate its playing characteristics, and they still havenâ€t been able to achieve them. This explains the steep price of the Tenergy line. Itâ€s just that thereâ€s nothing out there quite like these rubbers, and this is especially true for the Tenergy 05. The difference between the 5 models of Tenergy rubbers (05, 19, 25, 64, and 80), lies in their pimple structure. The distance between the pimples makes a huge difference. The closer the pimples are, the more contact they will have with the ball, producing a harder feel and more rotation. The more spread apart the pimples are, the more spin insensitivity, speed, and softer feel the rubber will have. The Tenergy 05 has a structure in which the pimples are closer together than those in the Tenergy 64 and the Tenergy 80. This makes the Tenergy 05 the spinniest of all the Tenergies and also the slowest, hardest feeling, and most spin-sensitive. Its arc is also the highest in the Tenergy series: The Butterfly Tenergy 05 weighs in at 49 grams, a good weight for a rubber with these playing characteristics.  Similar medium-hard high-end rubbers such as the Tibhar Evolution MX-P (51 grams) and the Andro Rasanter R47 (49 grams) weigh the same or more than the Tenergy 05. The Tenergy line is often compared with the Hurricane 3 given that professional players in Europe use Tenergy rubbers and professional players in China use Hurricane rubbers. There is a substantial weight difference between the Tenergy 05 and the Hurricane 3 NEO (53 grams). This is one of the advantages European rubbers have over Chinese rubbers: their lower weight.

Playtesting the Butterfly Tenergy 05 Before analyzing the rubber, I must mention that we tested the Tenergy 05 on a Tibhar Stratus Power Wood, a balanced, all-wood OFF- blade. The Tenergy 05 can be paired with ALC blades for extreme power and spin (most professional players favor this combination), or it can be paired with defensive blades to perform vicious chops. The Tenergy 05 is a medium-hard, fast rubber thatâ€s known for its high arc, its pronounced parabola, and its unparalleled spin capabilities.  As you can tell from my 4.8/5 rating, this is the closest rubber to perfection Iâ€ve ever tried. This is evident by the number of professional players who have used and still use the Tenergy 05. What confused me the most was that, at some point, virtually every high-level player was using it, but not necessarily for the same purposes. The amazing thing about the Tenergy 05 is that players with different, contrasting playing styles used it or continue to use it and it is the best rubber for them. Timo Boll, the best German player of all time, used the Tenergy 05 on the forehand and the backhand to support his consistent, spinny attacks. Source: Butterfly Ma Long, the best player of all time, used the Tenergy 05 and the Tenergy 64 interchangeably on the backhand side to support his punches, quick counters, and open-ups. Koki Niwa also used the Tenergy 05 and he played most of his incredible chop blocks with it. But whatâ€s even more incredible is that the best defender of all time, Joo Se Hyuk, chose the Tenergy 05 as his forehand rubber.  Joo Se Hyuk chops, fishes, counterloops and opens up on his forehand side.  Why does seemingly everyone benefit from using it? Why is it the best choice for spinners, power loopers, and even defenders? After several hours of testing, Iâ€m confident that I found the answer. The Butterfly Tenergy 05 has a set of characteristics that no other rubber has. 1) It can generate tons of spin. 2) Itâ€s medium hard, so it doesnâ€t bottom out easily. 3) Itâ€s fast but not overly bouncy. And, most importantly: 4) It has a unique arc that no other rubber can replicate. All of these characteristics make for a very coherent, safe rubber. No other rubber that I have tried at this performance level is as spinny nor as consistent as the Tenergy 05. As evidenced by the number of professional players using it on either side, itâ€s an amazing rubber on both wings. Iâ€m currently using it on my forehand side. Driving and looping The Tenergy line is made for aggressive looping. Driving with the Tenergy 05 is great, but the star of the show is its looping capabilities. The Tenergy 05 delivers a lively feel in the hand, but it isnâ€t that bouncy. Drives travel with a high arc, feel stable, and have good speed. The Tenergy 05 is made for looping. Loops travel with plenty of safety and instill a sense of confidence in the player from the word go. I found that I could get more forehand loops on the table with the Tenergy 05 than with other rubbers in its speed range, and I could get more safety on my loops even when compared to slower, flatter-throwing rubbers such as the Hurricane 3 NEO. The arc on the Tenergy 05 is very high, but its parabola is quite extreme. To illustrate what I mean, letâ€s take a look at the arc comparison diagram once again: Whatâ€s evident at first sight is that the Tenergy 05 has a higher arc than the Tenergy 80, and so does the Tenergy 80 when compared to the Tenergy 64. However, this isnâ€t the main takeaway of the diagram.  The most important characteristic of the Tenergy 05 isnâ€t necessarily its high throw, itâ€s its bounce.  If we take a closer look at the diagram, we can see that the Tenergy 05 is not only the Tenergy rubber with the most clearance over the net, but itâ€s also the one that lands shorter on the table. If we analyze the arc on the Tenergy 05 versus the arc on the Tenergy 64, the Tenergy 05 has plenty more clearance over the net, but it is also a lot less likely to overshoot the table. This is, in my opinion, the special characteristic of the Tenergy 05. Itâ€s arc. Forehand loops with the Tenergy 05 carry great speed and superb spin, a lot more than conventional ESN rubbers. Loops hit with the Tenergy 05 had noticeably more speed and spin than those played with the Rasanter R47 or the Fastarc G-1. In addition to this, I was able to land at least as many or even more loops on the table with the Tenergy 05 than with the rubbers mentioned beforehand. I can also land many more loops on the table with the Tenergy 05 than with the Tibhar Evolution MX-P. Contrary to popular belief, I think that the Tenergy 05 is a very safe and controllable rubber when looping. If your timing and technique are right, then youâ€ll have plenty more margin for error with the Tenergy 05 than with other rubbers because of its unique arc. I feel that you just have to get your contact right. If you donâ€t contact the ball too thickly, the rubber is going to get the ball on the table.   In the following clip, Iâ€m performing one of my favorite irregular drills: hitting forehands from the backhand side ¾ of the table. As you can see, I was extremely consistent with the Tenergy 05 and I can get as many loops on the table as I want. If I got to the shot in the correct position and hit hard, my shots were traveling with immense power. If I was not in the correct position to play the shot, I could simply brush the ball and go for spin. You can really feel the topsheet biting the ball and the ball sinking into the sponge when brushing the ball. A trademark attribute of the Tenergy line is its high arc and bounce. Loops hit with the Tenergy 05 “kick†upwards after bouncing on the table. This makes the opponentâ€s blocks return slightly higher, which gives the attacker more margin for error on the next shot (added to the already high safety the arc gives you). Hereâ€s another training video showcasing the uniquely high arc of the Tenergy 05: Playing away from the table requires little effort and the arc is almost perfect. The Tenergy 05 is quite consistent and itâ€s also very good when picking up low balls.  It has tons of grip, plenty of speed, and a safe, high arc, making it ideal for rallies at mid-distance and away from the table.  However, I found that I would miss the table more when counterlooping away from the table than when looping the ball normally. I found that to get the necessary speed on the ball, I had to impact the ball a bit more, and not brush it as much. To play away from the table, I had to have good timing, or else I would constantly overshoot. I had to pick my opportunities. I couldnâ€t just hit every ball hard, as I would with a tamer rubber. Another attribute I love about the Tenergy 05 is its very satisfying “cracking†sound. I liked counterlooping close to the table more than counterlooping away from the table.  If you close the angle accordingly, you can play some very extreme angles.  The spin capabilities and the arc of the Tenergy 05 enable you to play parallel counterloops and other harder variations of the counterloop a lot more easily: The Tenergy 05 is not necessarily forgiving for counterlooping as it requires correct timing and technique, but if you know what youâ€re doing, it is indeed safer than most other offensive rubbers. Open-ups were also an area of strength for the Tenergy 05.  Open-ups carried great spin and speed and were overall very consistent. The grip levels of the Tenergy 05 helped in this regard, as you can pick up heavy backspin balls or low balls very easily.  Backhand exchanges are also really good with the Tenergy 05 if you have good timing. The Tenergy 05 excels at topspin shots. Safe topspins from mid-distance and short counters were its main strengths regarding the backhand wind. Serve and receive Serving and receiving are quite good with the Tenergy 05. The only caveat is that passive serve receives can be tricky.  In terms of serving, the Tenergy 05 is excellent. Serves carry noticeably more spin than your average rubber. In addition to this, open-ups and loops are great with the Tenergy 05, so itâ€s a very good 3rd-5th ball attack rubber. You can serve backspin and open up, or serve long and loop-kill the following ball. Active serve receives are great with the Tenergy 05. Passive serve receives, not so much. The Tenergy 05 is a superb flicking rubber. Its high arc helps when clearing the net and its spin generation and explosiveness make it a great rubber for the banana flick (or strawberry flick). The grip levels on the Tenergy 05 are superb, so opening up play against short backspin serves is easier than with most other rubbers weâ€ve tried. However, the passive serve receive with the Tenergy 05 is one of its weakest points. The Tenergy 05 is a very spin-sensitive rubber, so you have to pay close attention to the spin on your opponentâ€s serves to return them correctly. If you slightly misjudge the spin on the ball, youâ€re going to give your opponent an easy chance to win the point. It did help, however, that it isnâ€t as bouncy as the other Tenergies or the Tibhar Evolution MX-P, for example. It is more bouncy than most average rubbers, but the effect is not as extreme as other high-level rubbers. Blocking and chopping I liked blocking with the Tenergy 05. The Tenergy 05 has great stability due to its hardness.  Active blocks also work wonderfully with the Tenergy 05. With a slight flick of the wrist, you can add speed to your opponentâ€s shots, making your blocks very dangerous.  The only time when the Tenergy 05 was hard to control is when trying to block very spinny shots. You really have to close the angle of your racket with the Tenergy 05 to return the ball properly.  I found it hard to block safely and consistently but if you block the ball correctly your return will be very dangerous. As we said before, most high-level players used this rubber at some point or another and they blocked the loops of the best players in the world with it. Koki Niwa even chop blocked with it. In short, blocking requires great touch and a good ability to read spin. Chopping is great with the Tenergy 05. You get quite a bit of sink on the rubber and it also feels firm and stable enough.  The Tenergy 05â€s potential for chopping is through the roof. The Tenergy 05 generates spin like no other rubber. Lots of high-level defenders are using it, and the best defender of all time used it for years.  In this clip, we can see the great touch and safety the Tenergy 05 has.  In the first clip, I was trying to show its looping capabilities, but I instinctively went for a chop block because I felt that itâ€d go in, and it did. Again, the Tenergy 05 is a very safe rubber with an excellent touch for the ball. It must be noted that we reviewed a 2.1mm sheet of Tenergy. Thinner variants of the Tenergy 05 would be much better for chopping, especially when paired with a defensive blade. Alternatives to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 Overall reflections on the Butterfly Tenergy 05 The Butterfly Tenergy 05 is a superb rubber, not only for offensive players but for everyone that can make use of its unique characteristics. What surprised me the most about the Tenergy 05 was its consistency. I thought that Iâ€d try a super fast, hard-to-control rubber. This wasnâ€t the case at all. The main attribute of the Tenergy 05 is, in my opinion, the safety it has when playing high-quality loops. Landing spinny loops in succession feels effortless with the Tenergy 05. If I had to give a direct comparison, Iâ€d say that the Tenergy 05 is like a slightly harder Donic Baracuda with 2 layers of booster or like an improved version of the Fastarc G-1. Alternatively, we’ve compared the 05 to all other Tenergy rubbers. The Tenergy 05 is a superb offensive rubber on both wings. Iâ€d encourage you to try it if youâ€re confident in your timing and your serve-receive abilities.

The Butterfly Tenergy 64 is one of the best offensive rubbers that money can buy, often used by the best table tennis players of the last 20 years. The Tenergy 64 is the fastest, softest feeling, lowest-throwing, and most spin-insensitive rubber in the Tenergy line. Is it the right rubber for you? We bought a sheet specifically for this Tenergy 64 review, testing it for 10+ hours to discover exactly how it behaves, and who should be playing with it on their blade.

Released in 2021, the Butterfly Tenergy 19 is the most recent addition to the Tenergy line. Soon after its initial release, hundreds of world-class professional players, including Kanak Jha, Kirill Gerassimenko, Marcelo Aguirre, and Gustavo Tsuboi started utilizing it on either the forehand or the backhand side of their rackets. It is advertised as the spinniest rubber in the whole Tenergy line and Butterfly states that the Tenergy 19 is faster than the Tenergy 05. 

Released in 2019, the Butterfly Dignics 05 is Butterflyâ€s top-of-the-line grippy offensive rubber. Since its release, Dignics 05 has overtaken Tenergy 05â€s spot as the most popular grippy rubber used by professional players. Dignics 05 brings a reputation for being one of a kind in terms of its balance of spin, power, and control. To try it out for ourselves and draw our own conclusions, we bought a new sheet specifically for this Dignics 05 review.

Butterflyâ€s Tenergy range is the most iconic rubber line in the history of table tennis.  Released in the year 2008, the Butterfly Tenergy range has been dominating the sport for more than 15 years, and it doesnâ€t look like itâ€s stopping anytime soon. Ever since the first Tenergy rubber was released, all of the other manufacturers have been working on how to get near their level. 

Iâ€m not exaggerating when I say that Butterflyâ€s Dignics 09c is the best forehand rubber in the world. In true Butterfly fashion, they have been able to engineer the unthinkable.  In 2008, Butterfly released the Tenergy 05, which took the world by storm. It was decades ahead of its competition. 15 years after its release, most other manufacturers havenâ€t yet caught up to the Tenergy 05â€s quality.
