Tenergy 05 Hard

Same topsheet as Tenergy 05 with the sponge raised from 36 to 43. One variable changed, which makes this the clearest pair for seeing what hardness does.

The figures are unambiguous: spin goes 76 → 96 and throw 79 → 92, while speed actually edges down, 83 → 82. A harder sponge does not add pace — it holds the ball longer and converts that into rotation.

Spin of 96 ties with Dignics 09C for the highest among the Butterfly rubbers here. But reaching it means fully compressing 43 degrees. Without the swing speed to do that, it grips less than standard Tenergy 05.

It costs the same ₩92,000 as the standard version, so the decision is not about budget but about swing speed — choose this only if a full stroke bottoms the sponge out.
