in my opinion, tenergy 05 is the best looping rubber to have. i like using this on amultart and mizutani blades. it is very good characteristic to loop on your forehand. it is very fast, as fast as speed glued rubbers. the topsheet is not very tacky, so it does no have max spin, but more than enough to do very deep spinny loops. the angle the ball hits off the rubber is very high, noticeably higher than most other rubbers. this makes tenergy 05 a very good rubber for looping underspin balls, because you can really lift it up and over teh net. it is okay for blocking, a little hard to control if you do not have good feeling.

tenergy 64 is a little feel like tenergy 05, but after you play with it for a long time there are some fundamental differences. overall, tenergy 64 is more of a control rubber than tenergy 05. the speed feel is a little different. tenergy 05 speed is very powerful feeling, while tenergy 64 is very quick and swift feel. it seems to stay in teh sponge of tenergy 64 a little more. there is more spin on 64 as well. the sponge holds the ball in longer. the control is good. it is easier to block with 64 and keep the balls on the table. it is very suitable with any blade and playing style.

DHS water base glue is a little different from the butterfly, stiga, andro etc water glues. it is thicker than the other glues. in terms of performance, i used on hurricane rubber, i felt it was faster compare to otehr glue but the control was not as good. for example, my looping felt more fast and powerful, but i looped the ball out of the table or into the net a lot more than usual. same with blocking, i did not feel as good grasp on teh ball. the glue takes a long time to dry, maybe 40 minutes to dry fully. it is sold at a very low price, and i feel it performs just as good.

A delegation led by Sergey Korkin climbed on top of Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe. The Vice-President of the Ukraine Table Tennis Federation was not the first man to do that, but no other expedition before took along table tennis equipment.

Has it ever happened before? I doubt it.
They do say truth is stranger than fiction.
Has there ever been an ITTF Pro Tour tournament or for that matter any open international tournament where two World champions have been required to compete in the qualification stage of the singles events?
