Tenergy05, old v.s. new sheets

after what i have read so far new sheets of tenergy feel like cr*p and it does need some time for them to break in. after that period they seem to be the real deal. thus it might be a good thing that you got some used ones to try but you might be negatively surprised if you try a new sheet.

Damn, this forum is not what it used to be!  Where's a good EJ when you need one?

Friend if mine bought tenergies 2.1 year ago and still playing with them. I tried his bat from time to time. I remember that they were pretty hard in the begining, hard to push with them, not consistent at all, once ball goes into net once longer than table. But he used old glue many times (at least 40 times), and new also (similar number), depends what he had at the moment, and also removed glue from sponge many times. Sponge become vary damaged (from removin new glue) with small holes...but rubber now is just great, not hard at all, has kick, very good for block and loop(on his Balsa Carbo x5 off blade). Better than new, I'd say. At least in hands of player of my class.

After a while (about 60 hours) the topsheet loses spin, the pace is still there though, some players prefer it when it has 'gone off' but I prefer the superb pace and spin mix when it is new.

Ive had my T05 for over a year,ive had a spare sheet for 9 months,but everytime i think about changing to the new one,just think why should i change something that works so well!

So far I like the brush looping aspect of it.  Controlling pushes though has been hard, I can see my serve return going from 3/10 to -1/10 with this stuff.

Wing Span welcome,

Originally posted by Tinykin Wiggy, how do you clean it and how often?

 Just water, but I do 're-set' it by removing it and sticking back on about once every month.

Hey Wingspan I have a sheet of t64 that I don't like, so if you want to try it you can. It will probably play really well on that flexy Off- blade that you almost tried. Let me know if you'd like to jump off your 12 step TT equipment path! Of course to really get a feel for Tenergy you must try it on several different types of blades. I have about 15 or 20 in my bag with your initials on them, "666" I believe!

Is that a better EJ post for you?

What affect does this have?

Ok so I've been smacking the ball around at work with the sheets for a few days now and I have to say I wasn't impressed at first.  But today for some reason the 05 came alive, especially on bh loops.  It was really fun!

I haven't had an issue with the weight so far, both sheets are ok, the 64 being lighter.  It's also noticeably springier and faster than the 05, so far I'm not liking it as much.  The throw angle is ok, not crazy high like I was expecting.

you can retrieve the original grip and more  if you apply spinmax aqeous

I find that taking it off and regluing it changes its properties a lot.  I personally do not like the result at all.

Well I've joined the club.  T05 2.1 on bh and fh now.  The spin and feel on brush looping is crazy...

 I agree 100% topsheet goes off first after about three weeks, followed by a gradual decline in pace, this can be marginally restored by re-fixing, but in all, if i could, I would change Tenergy about every three weeks. I play about 5 days a week.
