Both products use the same manufacturer scale, so these figures can be read side by side.

What actually differs

Same Tenergy line, different pip shape. 05 is built toward spin, 64 toward speed.

The official figures say it plainly: 64 is faster, while 05 is higher in both spin and throw. The combination is easy to read — 64 sends the ball low and quick, 05 makes it curve down.

If you trade quickly from close to the table, 64 suits you; a flatter trajectory gives the opponent less time. If your main weapon is a looped drive from mid-distance, the arc of 05 is what keeps it on the table.

That is also why 64 shows up on backhands so often. The backhand stroke is short and struggles to build heavy spin, and 64 can move the ball without relying on it.
