This Ask the Experts question was answered by Coach Nan Li. She is one of the coaches at the World Champions Table Tennis Academy in Santa Clara, CA. Coach Li’s response is as follows:

Hi Herbert,
 
Thanks for your question and interest in Butterfly equipment.
 
Switching to Tenergy 05 FX is a good choice. The softer FX feel of the Tenergy 05 provides more control while the high tension top sheet of the rubber generates a lot of spin and power.
 
Overall the Tenergy rubber series is a totally different playing experience compared to your current set up and I hope you will be satisfied with the performance.
 
Hope you find this helpful and enjoy your new equipment.
 
Best,
 
Nan Li
