Great question as I have tried a ton of blades with both tenergy 25 and tenergy 25 fx.

If you want rocket power a carbon blade like the ishlion which also a bit lighter is great. I have however also spent a long time playing with 25 on slower all round blades with very good results. The reason is that the way you hit 25 is more drive and it has a lower throw angle, the softer slower blades give it a bit more dwell for spin which I think is better, also increases your touch and feel at the table near the net.

So today I visited my local university, Texas A&M International University, here in my hometown of Laredo, Texas. It has been a while since I had the opportunity to play some TT but I finally got a TAMIU student to come with me so that I can go into the gym there.

All I am going to say is I am through with trying new rubbers.  I have never found anything that plays like the original tenergy 05 on my forehand or backhand and only could bring myself to use tenergy 64 on backhand instead.

I have spent or should say wasted so much money trying other rubbers looking for cheap alternatives and have finally decided my search is fruitless.  I am stuck in a bad place now since I wanted to eventually boycot the price rise but find I just can't play as well with anything else.
