普段Omega VII China Ying（オメガVIIチャイナ影）を使っているので、そこまで重たいといった感じは受けませんでした。今回、スチラディバリウスに貼ったのはただただアウターという理由でしたが正直失敗したと感じました。ストラディバリウスは、やや回転性能や球持ちよりもスピード性能やミート打ちに特徴のあるラケットだと、改めて感じました。確かに低価格で初・中級者をターゲットとした場合、ドライブよりもミート打ちのしやすいラケット設計にするのは納得ですからね。写真はありませんが後日、Tornado King Power（トルネードキングパワー）に貼って改めて試打しました。
ニッタクさんは、中国製のシートを採用したHurricane（キョウヒョウ）シリーズも販売しており、近年話題となっているHurricane Pro III Turbo（キョウヒョウプロ3ターボ）シリーズの2枚やその他のキョウヒョウシリーズの回転性能は際立って高いものになっています。ファスタークG-1よりも、今年新発売のハモンドZ2、スピード性能の点だけであればFastarc P-1（ファスタークP-1）や2020年のパンフレットからは消えてしまったAlhelg（アルヘルグ）といったラバーの方が高いです。バランスと信頼のあるラバーが、ファスタークG−1のニッタクのラバーの中での立ち位置と言えるでしょう。あるいはスピン系テンションラバーの中で最も回転性能の高いラバーといえば良いでしょうか。

We would like to review Tenergy 80 FX, one of Butterfly (Tamasu)’s tenergy series. The release of the world standard Tenergy 05 dates back to now, about 13 years ago, in April 2008. Tenergy 05, which still wants the name of the world standard even after more than 10 years have passed due to the prohibition of post-processing with organic solvents, has become an existence that can not be talked about without it when thinking about table tennis. .. Considering the features of this Tenergy series as katsuo000 as of 2021, I think it will be as follows.
Features of the Tenergy series
・High rotation performance
・High speed performance
・Light
I think that the characteristics of the Tenergy series as described above are largely due to Butterfly’s unique sponge. The sponge used in the Tenergy series is an orange sponge called Spring Sponge, and the bubbles in the sponge have a closed cell structure, and it seems that they are able to show high performance. This spring sponge is a technology that differentiates it from other competing table tennis makers with only Butterfly technology. While other competing table tennis makers basically outsource rubber manufacturing, Butterfly, despite being a table tennis maker, owns a sponge manufacturing factory and is trying to differentiate itself. Because of this spring sponge, Tenergy can produce high performance, but due to the fact that it costs research and development in addition to resale and counterfeiting, it has become an open price and it is almost double the price compared to other rubbers. It can be said that it is also a (bad) feature. However, there is no doubt that the usage rate of top players is high and it is the world standard.
In addition to Tenergy 05, which has the highest usage rate of the top players and high rotation performance, Tenergy 64, which has high speed performance due to the difference in the top seat, Tenegy 80, which has a good balance of spin and speed, There are 5 types of seats, including the Tenergy 25 (Tenergy), which is strong against counters and fronts, and the Power Tenergy 19, which was released the other day. The explanation of each sheet is as follows.
No. 25: The grain height of 2.65 mm is low. Easy to play on the table and counter. No. 64: 1.7 mm wide grain spacing. High speed performance. No. 180: The grain spacing of 1.7 mm is in the middle. The rotation and speed are well balanced. No. 219: 1.5 mm grain spacing is narrow. It is easy to grab the ball well and put out power. As mentioned above, the characteristics of each top sheet are reflected, and there are key phrases such as “Rotation 05”, “Balance 80”, “Speed 64”, “Front 25”, and “Power 19”. It is crowned.
About 13 years ago, after launching Tenergy 05 in April 2008, Butterfly launched Tenergy 25 in November 2008, Tenergy 64 in April 2009, and Tenergy in July 2010. 05 FX, Tenergy 25 FX in November 2010, Tenergy 64 FX in November 2011, Tenergy 80 (Tenergy 80) in January 2013, 2014 Tenergy 80 FX in April 2017, Rozena in April 2017, Tenergy 05 Hard, which is a harder version of Tenergy 05 in November 2018, in April 2019. Dignics 05 has been released as a rubber that exceeds Tenergy. And in March 2021, when the transition from Tenergy to Dignics was beginning to appear, Tenergy 19 was put on the market. To date, there are 10 types of Tenergy. Each has been sold as a new product, and the fact that Tenergy 05 is still popular is a sign of completion and trust.
The Tenergy 80FX reviewed on this page is one of the easy-to-use tenergy with a soft spring sponge. I think it is a popular rubber as a back rubber for intermediate users or as a tenergy for beginners.
Published performance value
In Butterfly, the published performance value does not depend on FX. At competitors’ manufacturers, rubber with a soft sponge has high rotation performance, and if it is easy to repel, it has high speed performance, but Butterfly’s claim that this is not the case is the published performance value. Become. Actually, the soft sponge is easier to use, but there is certainly an impression that it is difficult to get the maximum rotation amount and speed. However, I think that the amount of rotation and speed will increase if it is firmly inserted. In a sense, it seems that technical skills are required to increase the amount of rotation and speed of Max with soft rubber. In that sense, the Tenergy 80FX is a high-performance and easy-to-use rubber.
Easy-to-use technology
On Butterfly’s homepage, radar charts are posted on the technologies that are easy to do for each Tenergy. I measured the ease of doing each technique with a measure, and tried to show the numerical values in the figure below. Items ・ Ease of loop drive ・ Ease of hitting speed drive ・ Ease of counter drive ・ Easy to play on the table ・ Ease of blocking ・ Ease of smashing It will be six. Personally important items are loop drive, speed drive, bench play, block and counter drive. If the smash is not adhesive rubber, you will be accustomed to hitting it.
I quoted from Butterfly’s homepage.
https://www.butterfly.co.jp/product/tenergy/
If you look at this chart, you can see that the Tenergy 80FX is in the middle as well as the Tenergy 05FX. I think this is a manifestation of the fact that there are few difficult techniques. It can be said that it is a rubber that can be recommended from beginners to intermediates if you do not consider the cost.
Recommended racket combination
Combinations recommended by the manufacturer are also posted. I will also post this. All of the following are quoted from Butterfly’s homepage. First, I tried arranging the Tenergy FX system.
I quoted from Butterfly’s homepage!
https://www.butterfly.co.jp/product/tenergy/
Tenergy 05 FX
・Timo Boll ZLF: For players seeking stable play
・Inner Force Layer ALC: For learning various techniques
・Maze Advance: For players who are not confident in their strength
Tenergy 80 FX
・Marcos Freitas ALC: For playing in a well-balanced and wide area
・Timo Boll CAF: For all-round play in pursuit of power
Tenergy 25 FX
・Timo Boll ZLC: To players who want to use the opponent's play
Tenergy 64 FX
・Timo Boll TJ: To junior players aiming for the top
・Maze Advance: To players who use Tenergy for the first time
Basically, I felt that there were many phrases for beginners and intermediate users. Only the Tenergy 25FX has been proposed to be combined with the Timo Boll ZLC, and basically it seems that there are many combinations with a racket that is very easy to handle. Personally, I feel the intention of the manufacturer to feel the ease of handling and the fun of table tennis rather than the power. However, as a beginner, Tenergy makes the household account book cry. If my daughter wants to do that, I’ll cooperate. It’s almost April, and if you want to step up or take on the challenge of Tenergy in a new environment, it is recommended to combine it with the Tenergy FX system as described above.

Looking at Tenergy as a whole, Tenergy 64 is recommended for beginners and intermediates, Tenergy 25 is recommended for intermediate and advanced players in combination with the bouncing outer Super ZLC, and Tenergy 05 Hard and Tenergy 19 are recommended for advanced players and top players. It is an impression. The combination of Tenergy 25 and Jun Mizutani Super ZLC is not a story that started in 2021, but it is an impression that Butterfly has been proposing for a long time. It’s a pretty interesting combination.
Tenergy 80 FX Weight and Paste
The rubber weight of the Tenergy 80FX was about 45 g. It’s a little lighter than Tenergy 05FX (46 g). Butterfly’s characteristic is that there are many high-performance and lightweight rubbers as a whole, and you can see that this time as well, it is light and of high quality.

Three features of Tenergy 80 FX
After all bring it to the backhand!
It’s soft, so I brought it to my backhand anyway! After all, due to the influence of the grain shape of the sheet, I felt that the Tenergy 80FX was easier to block and meet in general than the Tenergy 05FX. Of course, if you insert it firmly into the sponge, the drive will rotate firmly, but I felt that it sometimes slipped when trying to catch it thinly, so if you hit it thickly with the back, 80FX is recommended rather than 05FX. Probably.
Easy to put blocks!
As a technique that is easy to do with virtue, I felt that if I used the momentum in the block, I could manage to put it on the opponent’s court. I felt the same with Tenergy 80, but I think it’s very easy to put it on the opponent’s court with the momentum of the racket and rubber even if the opponent is spinning or knuckle! I think it’s a very good rubber if you want to learn to make a face and put it on the opponent’s court. On the other hand, it also tends to be a stick ball, so I think it would be better if you could push or rotate it a little in the game.
It’s easier to get speed than rotation!
Compared to 05FX, I felt that it was a rubber that could be pushed at a speed rather than rotation. I think that 80FX can be used when driving and chiquita are used to take away the opponent’s time with pitch, straightness and speed rather than the amount of rotation. Especially the speed type Chiquita was very easy to do and it was good. However, rather than catching the top, it is easier to do by shifting the axis of rotation. I thought it was a very good option if I wanted to be easy to handle and pitch and ball speed.
Each technical review
Fore hand
Rally drive I felt that it was difficult to sink when flying with rotation, and it was necessary to hit a little weakly to reduce the flight distance. In Dignix 05, if you fly with a lot of rotation, you can feel at ease that the ball will sink with the amount of rotation, so you will feel that you will enter the opponent’s court, but after all the shape of the 80 sheet takes a little rotation, and the arc line on your own court side I felt that I should drive with the image that the top of.
Stop It’s easy to stop. I just played it when I tried to rotate it.
Push It is difficult to rotate. It is very easy to put in.
Serve It’s not that it doesn’t take rotation, but I was a little dissatisfied with the maximum amount of rotation.
バックハンド系
Light hit I felt that the ball was released faster than the Tenergy 05 from a light hit. I think it was influenced by the grain shape of the sheet.
Rally drive There was a relatively stable feeling. If I could bite it in firmly, it would take a good impression that it would rotate well. After all it is easy to speed up and I think it is easy to supplement the power of the backhand.
Top spin (loop) drive against back spin The ball was released earlier than 05, and it was difficult to catch it with just the seat because it seemed to slip a little. In particular, I found it difficult to loop drive a half-long ball. On the other hand, if the ball has a long flight distance, it can be pulled in firmly, so if it can be pulled in, it feels like it can be easily lifted. I think this is the effect of a soft sponge.
Speed drive against back spin The angle is a little difficult, so I think that you will drive with the image of flying straight and crossing the net rather than dropping it by rotation. I think I like this area, but I didn’t like katsuo000 very much.
Block I didn’t think it was so susceptible to rotation compared to Tenergy 05FX. I think it’s much easier to block than 05FX.
Counter drive If anything, meat was easier to do.
Stop & Push It was easy to do. Because it is soft, it is easy to repel, so it is easier to rotate with Tenergy 05.
Chiquita It was easy to do because it was easy to get up. I think it’s easy to aim for an ace because it’s easy to speed up.
Comparison with other rubbers (personal impressions)
Spin amount Tenergy 05 FX ＞ Tenergy 80 FX ＞ Evolution MX-P
Speed Evolution MX-P > Tenergy 80 FX > Fastarc G-1
Ease of handling Tenergy 05FX ＞ Tenergy 80 FX ＞ Tenergy 19
Martin AC（マーティンAC） アラミドカーボンアウター仕様のラケットです。最新のラインアップで、まだWRMで取り扱いはありませんが、今後WRMで取り扱い販売されるのでしょうか？。アウターカーボン、板厚5.8 mm、上板リンバのラケットになります。非常にスタンダードなブレードの厚さですが上板Limba（リンバ）なので、張継科ALCや林高遠ALCよりも柔らかくて球持ちを感じるはずです。打球感が近そうなラケットはフレイタスALCになりますが、フレイタスALCはブレード厚さが6.0 mで、マーティンACの方が薄いので飛距離も抑えられておさまりが良いと思います。水谷隼ZLCシリーズも上板がリンバなので、打球感は似ているかもしれません。
Martin Pro（マーティンプロ） 7枚合板なのに珍しい板厚6.0 mm、上板リンバのラケットです。上板リンバは、例えばミズノのフォルティウスFTが挙げられるますが、板厚6.0 mmはフォルティウスFT Reの6.1 mmよりも薄いですね。7枚合板の力強さと、飛距離が抑えられたラケットではないかと想像します。
Vario AC＋（ヴァリオAC+） 最新のOSPラケットで、片面は上板コト材にアラミドカーボンアウター、もう片面は上板リンバにインナーアラミドカーボンという、男心をくすぐる一本ですね。片方は攻撃的に、もう片方は球持ちを重視するという構成になっています。合板構成も芯材から非対称となるラケットはあまり一般的ではなく中途半端になりやすいと言われますが、一般層でフォアもバックも同じレベルでスイングできるレベルの人は少ないわけで、こういったラケットの需要は少なからずあるのではないかと想像します。自分が持っているラケットではPro-13Sという中国製のラケットが近いと思いますが染色剤を上板に使用していてやや硬めのイメージです。OSP製のVario AC+の方が球持ちを抜群に感じられるのではないかと想像します。
正直、アルネイドのインナーバージョンということで、試打するまでは上板にコト材を使っているのではないかと思って購入しました。実際の試打では、全くコト材の硬さを感じなかったので、おそらく上板はリンバではないかと思います。上板にコト材を使っているラケットはニッタクさんのTornado King Power（トルネードキングパワー）になります。このトルネードキングパワーと比較するとアルネイドインナーは明らかに打球感が柔らかく安心感があったのでリンバだと確信してしまいました。 トルネードキングパワーはインナーラケットであるにもかかわらず、アウターカーボンラケットのようなキレと威力のボールが打てる非常に優秀なラケットですね。上板にコトをもちいていて、打球感もかなり硬く、回転性能の高いラバーや粘着ラバーと相性がバツグンです。一方で最近のスピン系テンションラバーを使いこなすのはやや難しいとも感じました。廃盤ですが、まだ手に入るかもしれませんので、気になる方は是非検討してみてください。
