The Butterfly Tenergy 05 is a smooth inverted rubber engineered for modern offensive table tennis. Boasting a spin rating of 9.2/10, this rubber generates exceptional rotation on loops and serves — the ball dives sharply after bouncing, making it devastating for opening loops and third-ball attacks. At 9/10 speed, this rubber is fast — the sponge catapults the ball forward aggressively, rewarding hard swings and flat hits. Combined with 7.5/10 control, it demands good technique to keep the ball on the table. The sponge hardness of 36° is relatively soft, providing excellent dwell time and a 'trampoline' effect that helps generate spin easily. Great for developing players or those who rely on spin over speed. Available in 1.7mm, 1.9mm, 2.1mm thickness options — thicker sponges offer more speed and spin potential, while thinner ones prioritize control. This rubber is best suited for loop attackers who drive heavy topspin, allround players who mix offense and defense.
