Butterfly Tenergy 64 – is a high-tension table tennis rubber with pimples inside (pimples-in), designed for aggressive and fast attacking shots. Combining High Tension technology and Spring Sponge, Tenergy 64 stands out with a unique pimples structure marked by code No. 64, recognized by many of the world’s top players as the fastest. This rubber features a longer ball contact time (dwell time), allowing control of strokes and performing quick attacks with strong spin. Tenergy 64 is an ideal choice for players aiming to dominate rallies with speed and spin, both at the table and mid-distance. Made in Japan, ITTF approved, Tenergy 64 is one of the most popular offensive rubbers used by players like Ma Long and Jun Mizutani, especially on the backhand side.

Butterfly Tenergy 64 features advanced construction that optimizes speed, spin, and control:

• Sponge (36°): Medium hardness sponge (36° on Butterfly scale, close to 48° on ESN scale), known as Spring Sponge, is intense orange in color and characterized by a unique combination of flexibility and elasticity. Its structure with air bubbles absorbs incoming ball energy and releases it as additional power, extending ball contact. Compared to Tenergy 05 Hard (43°), Tenergy 64 sponge is softer, offering a livelier feel and more bounce, suitable for fast shots. This ensures explosive speed and stability, especially when performing flat hits and blocks.

• Tacky topsheet: The topsheet is slightly tacky, with high friction, optimized for spin. It effectively grips the ball, eliminating ball slippage risk, and allows generating strong topspin, backspin, and side spin. Compared to Sriver FX, Tenergy 64 topsheet is much tackier but less sensitive to incoming spin than Tenergy 05, making it suitable for fast, direct shots. The topsheet is durable and wear-resistant but requires regular cleaning to maintain grip properties.

• Pimples geometry: Pimples marked with code No. 64 are spaced wider than Tenergy 05 or Tenergy 80, optimized for speed (87/100), spin (70/100), and trajectory (75/100). This structure, selected from Butterfly’s patented "spin and speed enhancing shapes" after testing more than 200 pimple shapes, creates the fastest rubber in the Tenergy series. Widely spaced pimples reduce spin sensitivity, providing a softer feel and explosive speed, ideal for flat hits, blocks, and counter topspins. Compared to Tenergy 05, Tenergy 64 is less spinny but faster and more forgiving on imprecise shots.

• High Tension technology: The topsheet is tensioned at the factory, increasing elasticity and speed without additional boosters. Together with Spring Sponge, it creates an explosive yet controllable feel, allowing the player to perform fast shots with minimal energy loss. Tenergy 64 is the fastest Tenergy rubber, suitable for direct hits and rallies.

• Spring Sponge technology: Introduced since 2008, Spring Sponge technology acts like a spring, absorbing energy and releasing it on impact. Together with No. 64 pimples, it enhances the "ball holding" sensation, allowing control over stroke direction and speed, especially when performing blocks and counter topspins.

The rubber is offered in sponge thicknesses of 1.7 mm, 1.9 mm, and 2.1 mm: 1.7 mm suits maximum control and backhand side, 1.9 mm for balanced play, and 2.1 mm for aggressive forehand attacks. The rubber weighs approximately 47 g (trimmed), lighter than Tenergy 05 (~49 g) and Hurricane 3 NEO (~53 g). Colors – red and black – comply with ITTF standards. Butterfly recommends using Free Chack II glue when mounting the rubber.

Butterfly Tenergy 64 has technical specs tailored for fast, direct offense:

• Speed: 87/100. The rubber is very fast, suitable for flat hits, counter topspins, drives, and looping shots close to the table or mid-distance. Compared to Tenergy 05 (speed 81/100), Tenergy 64 is faster, offering explosive acceleration, ideal for rallies and third ball attacks. Compared to Sriver (speed 38/100), Tenergy 64 is significantly faster, suitable for aggressive shots.

• Spin: 70/100. The rubber generates strong spin in topspin strokes, serves, and pushes due to tacky topsheet and No. 64 pimples. Compared to Tenergy 05 (spin 64/100), Tenergy 64 spin is slightly higher but less than Tenergy 19 (75/100), making it better suited for direct shots rather than highly spinny looping shots. Compared to Tackiness Chop II (spin 30/100), the spin is much higher, effective offensively.

• Control: Control measurement is not specified, but longer contact and lower spin sensitivity ensure high control in blocking, flat hits, and counter topspins. Compared to Tenergy 05, Tenergy 64 is more forgiving on imprecise shots but requires precise ball contact timing to avoid overly quick bounce.

Trajectory: Medium height, straighter (arc: 75/100), suitable for flat hits, blocks, and counter attacks close to the table. The trajectory is lower than Tenergy 25 (86/100), requiring precise brush motion for looping shots but ideal for direct hits like punch blocks or flat hits. Users emphasize the rubber’s "speed potential," "blocking control," and "explosiveness," especially in rallies.

Butterfly Tenergy 64 suits various blades, especially those emphasizing speed and direct hits:

• Butterfly Timo Boll ALC: Provides extreme power, favored by professionals.

• Butterfly Viscaria: Balances speed and feel, ideal for flat hits.

• Butterfly Zhang Jike Super ZLC: Maximizes speed, suitable for backhand side.

• Butterfly Hadraw VR: Provides stability, suitable for counter topspins.

• Butterfly Diode V: Fits defense, emphasizing chops with quick counterattacks.

The rubber also pairs well with carbon blades such as Nittaku Violin Carbon, as Spring Sponge provides elasticity, and High Tension technology utilizes blade speed. Users recommend using Tenergy 64 on backhand side with 1.9 mm sponge for maximum speed and control, or forehand side with 2.1 mm for explosive shots.

Butterfly Tenergy 64 is intended for players seeking speed and direct shots:

• Intermediate and advanced offensive players mastering flat hits, counter topspins, blocks, and third ball attacks.

• Professional players like Ma Long (backhand) or Jun Mizutani (both sides) seeking rubber suitable for fast rallies.

• Defenders aiming for forehand versatility in chops and counterattacks.

• Table play: Effective in flat hits, counter topspins, blocks, banana flicks, and drives.

• Mid-distance play: Suitable for fast looping shots and counterattacks.

• Serves and returns: Tacky topsheet allows generating strong spin serves, but the rubber is very bouncy, so short serves require technique. Returns are effective for active shots but passive returns require precision due to speed.

The rubber is highly effective in flat hits (9.2/10) due to explosive speed. In counter topspins (9.0/10) it offers stability and control. Blocking (9.1/10) is especially effective due to lower spin sensitivity. Serves (8.6/10) generate strong spin, but short serves are more challenging. Chops (8.8/10) are effective, especially with thinner sponges. Compared to Tenergy 05, Tenergy 64 is faster but less spinny. Users praise the rubber’s "speed potential," "blocking control," and "versatility," especially on the backhand side.
