I like and appreciate you comparing the rubber to several other similar feeling rubbers. It makes it easier for us make an educated decision whether to buy it or not. Hope to see more of that in future reviews.
I love this rubber on my backhand. I got this 2 days after it was officially released to replace the Sriver G3 on the backhand and that was a great decision. This rubber did exactly what I wanted. Banana flips are insane with this, active blocking is deadly with precise placement and picking up that backspin with a backhand loop is done with ease.
Karim Vite Thanks for the review. I'm curious what you use for the forehand? Tenergy 05? I was thinking of going with Rozena for both before jumping to 05.
I use the Sriver Generation 3 on my forehand. Sorry, I know Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 64 have become the benchmark for comparison but I have actually stayed away from Tenergy and not sure how to match the Rozena with Tenergy. I am a backhand dominant two winged looper who sometimes falls into the trap of playing an off- style. I figure, I need to correct that issue first before I slap on a Tenergy 05 on my forehand. I am not sure if you are familar with the Sriver Generation 3 but essentially, its a rubber with a high tension top sheet similar to the Rozena and Tenergy but it however has a classic sponge with a density of 38 degrees. This hardness is the reason why I have kept it on my forehand instead of the Rozena. The G3 has a high trajectory and combined with the harder but energy absorbing sponge, it allows you easily generate slow but extremely spiny loops. You can generate speedy loops with G3 by applying more force which I tend to do because my swing is usually hard with extreme acceleration for the spin. According to butterfly, the G3 has the same speed as Tenergy 64 and short on its spin comparison by just a little, but I think that is not so true. I think it really depends on the stroke. Technically, the Rozena is supposed to be slower than the G3 but as expected, the spring sponge really comes into action on passive and lighter strokes which is what I wanted for my backhand. With the G3 on my backhand, I often found myself having to swing to hard to generate some more speed and that's never good for a backhand stroke since backhand always tends to be more unstable to forehand because of the wrist action and this is where the Rozena came in.
I thoroughly enjoyed the review ...there were some nice comparisons there but I want to know whether or not this rubber brings out the "inner fire" of a player through its all-round offsets and less sensitivity to spin? great review a pleasure to watch as always
All french advanced TT schools are provided/suggested the Rozena for their improving players. Since the change of distribution model for Butterfly France we moved to Gewo Neoflexx 45° which is maybe a tad slower but similar to Rozena and less expensive.
thanks for the opinion. Surprised to hear that. My daughter is 12 playing with Nittaky Fastarg G, the distributor doesn't have them in stock and I was looking for the alternative, Is Rozena any close in your opinion?
Even softer? Meh... Well, I didn't expect anything else when I saw the price. I am wondering why there is still no company that was able to produce a better rubber than Tenergy. Maybe Butterfly will wait until there's a better rubber from a different brand and then bring out an even better rubber series than Tenergy. The Evolution MX-P is ok, but it's not as durable as the Tenergy rubbers and the top sheet isn't as tacky. I could definitely play with these rubbers though. They are really close to the performance of the Tenergy.
Seems like you really made it, Dan and Tom. Found this video on the Butterfly homepage next to their advertisement/product video. Stay true to yourself and your viewers and you will be happy in life!
question to all pros., i saw that they're using a 2.1 version. Is the 1.7mm way way slow? i want a lighter setup with the timo boll zlc. the 2.1 sounds heavy at 47grams cut.
It's butterfly so maybe it'll still sell well given the name but I can't help but think people will be disappointed with this. So we're spending less and getting a more calmed down, less fierce tenergy. One, i don't know if that'll exactly sell people. Then you take into account you can get any of the Evolution series for around the same price or cheaper and still get that speed & power (MXP) or other versions if you want softer sponge, I just don't see where you'd go Rozena. Surprised after all these years and with the new ball Butterfly hasn't released a new series better than Tenergy by now.
I've tried both evolution series ( mxp and els) and rozena. Mxp i love the first month or so when the boost is fresh so much power so much spin, after that boost dissipate its very different. Els is nearer to rozena. In terms of power and speed, but rozena has that consistency and safety (still powerful and spinny) its really unique easy to play yet very power, don't knock it off until u try it. Els comes the closest to rozena in this sense
From personal experience ive seen a couple players use rozena and struggle against pimple players trying to topspin/attack the chop/defensive block against the pimple using bluefire myself on the forehand i didnt struggle playing against a pimple player maybe due down to technique unsure but thats my exp
Dan do you think this is a good setup? Maybe still allround classic blade, but maybe want a more offensive blade. Fh palio cj8000 twoside loop bh: donic baracuda
GUYS, I HAVE A LITTLE REQUEST! I like your reviews very well. But could you guys make a review of Palio AK47 rubbers? With red sponge, in particular. Lemme explain. Since I live in a country like Ukraine, which doesn't have such stable economics, I can't let myself buy something like Tenergy. I don't even need it, I'm an amateur player. =) So I look for something similar. Most people say that this is a good chinese analogue of European tensors. Although, there's still not much information and video reviews. There's some poor reviews in Russian, but they're not so informative. I think a lot of English-speaking people would like to see a review of that rubber too. B.w., Vladislav.
Hey, I played with Palio AK47 before. And I live in Malaysia. "doesnt have such stable economics" is also normal here. Palio AK47 is a nice cheap rubber and a nice rubber to use. But you cannot expect it to be the same as Tenergy or somehow like that. But for its price, its really worth it. ( My experience ).
Hi table tennis daily. I know it isn't exactly your thing to do on your channel but do you think you guys can possibly do a detailed tutorial on advanced serves or shots to help someone like myself add something to their armory to give themselves a bit of an advantage over their opponent in a competitive game?
Maybe a silly question, but what ball were you using? And have you compared it against Yasaka RakzaX, or can share a few thoughts if you see any benefits for changing it to the Rozena? Btw i play penhonld. Great Review, thanks!
I have the mark 5 right now and wanted a tenergy 5 because I like fast rubbers but sometimes I have truffle returning serves and certain spins, do u think the rozena would be good for me? Also what sponge thickness do u recommend and what is the difference between a 2.1mm and a 1.9mm? Thanks
Im the complete opposite I have wonderful footwork nd only good technique for forehand loop and backhand flick serves are bad BT still im very smart so as long as I get average spin ders der no problem
Mastro Games Don't have the time and I started too late... 11. I'm only thirteen now but no way will I be a world champion so I might try my best Tao be a state player, I'm Australian btw
I did because I use t05fx on backhand and Rozena on Forehand on Jun Mizutani Blade. Rozena is spinier and faster than t05fx but the curve trajectory of Rozena is lower than 05fx. Rozena is also spinier than t05. Rozena speed is right in between 05 and 05fx
Buy the Rozena if you want more control but still want to play fast paste buy the Tenergy 05 if you want a more explosive shot every time but you have to remember that you need a good technique cauze you have less control because of the explosiveness it comes faster of your bat. Have a Nice Day😃
We wanted to launch this review as soon as possible. Tom lives far from the Studio so can be tricky from a time/distance point of view. This is a club near Tom which we have done many of our reviews in :)
How can a rubber with 34° sponge hardness be a medium-hard rubber although Andro's Rasant Beat has a sponge hardness of 37,5° and it' considered a soft rubber? Please explain I am massively confused
you guys really think the majority of the quality of play comes from the rubber or material? I think it comes more from the technique and skill player has..
Seriously? Is 35º hardness rubbers for you a medium-hard rubber? What about for example donic bluefire M1 which is 45º or even harder rubbers like DHS hurricane 3 neo? (39º in chinese scale = 52º)
Rozena is great for beginner to intermediates as its spin insensitive. However, the downside is it feels much like a dead rubber and doesn't feel enjoyable to play with. It also doesn't help you develop your spin touch so will inhibit long term learning.

@@alexandervarna8085 no, rozena is much faster than G1

IMO Rozena is a perfectly suitable rubber for any player from 2nd national league to lower leagues levels.
The price tag is still reasonable though.
One of The best reviews by far, thanks guys
Seems like you really made it, Dan and Tom. Found this video on the Butterfly homepage next to their advertisement/product video. Stay true to yourself and your viewers and you will be happy in life!
I just switched to Rozena for my forehand rubber. It produces ample topspin with a great sense of control.
May i know From which rubber u switched to rozena. The rubber is still durable?
I play with Rozena,black rubber 2,1 for my for hand and red rubber 2,1 for my back hand with Viscaria blade just amazing and exploded game 🇬🇧🏓🇭🇺!
Hi i also play the viscaria FL and Rozena on my forehand i tried the new Joola Rhyzen ICE but i think Rozena is top on the viscaria
Can you also do a review on Butterfly SK carbon blade?
question to all pros., i saw that they're using a 2.1 version. Is the 1.7mm way way slow? i want a lighter setup with the timo boll zlc. the 2.1 sounds heavy at 47grams cut.
hey dan, 2 questions: what is your experience in blocking with chinese rubbers ? and could you please review the legendary hurricane 3 neo ?
What's bluefire tested? M1? M2? M3? Jp01? Jp02? Jp03? Big slam? Jp01 turbo? M1 turbo?
I have the same question.

Great Review, thanks!
i was wondering how was the serve did it stay as spinning as before or less with this rubber
which rubbers is Tom using in this review? Still Stiga Genesis M?
Can you be able to do a review with Butterfly Impartial XB? I want to see how much spin does the ball remain when blocking
nice review. What about serve and receive, and passive shots like blocking?
blue storm and aurus prime review soon?
Should I upgrade to this on my backhand from a donic sonex jp gold?
What sponge thickness were you using ?
It looks like 2.1 in the intro - printed on the backside - but it is quite hard to see.
I have the mark 5 right now and wanted a tenergy 5 because I like fast rubbers but sometimes I have truffle returning serves and certain spins, do u think the rozena would be good for me? Also what sponge thickness do u recommend and what is the difference between a 2.1mm and a 1.9mm?

I was like wait... _what?_
Hello , will you guys do the xiom vega zlc series review : )?
Rozena or Aibiss ?
pls provide a review of fastarc g1 pls as ppl say its really good but i really dont know if i should buy it or not
What can you say about butterfly sriver g3 fx?
does the rozena have more spin than the rasant beat?
Yes
nice review guys,keep it up! btw, what are you guys use for regular equipments? and who has the spinniest topspin ball between you two?
Is there any diffrence in rozena 2017 and 2024
Where did you buy your red flooring? I'm looking to buy some.
Is rozena still worth buying in 2023 for intermediate players?
yes! it's my first decent setup after a yeaor of training. viscaria fl + double rozena. I am as happy as an elephant now
@@tchevengour8345 man, I bought recently this rubber, do you know if has a good spin like in backhand flick or other things like away from the table)?
Am I able to play it even if I have a bad footwork? I have the best technique in my area so that is one point but I only lack of speed with footwork.
This is exactly what my coach told me.. I have got the most spin and best serves but i am lazy to get the ball.

did you test it in comparison with t05fx?
That would be interesting, since both might have similar hardness!
I did because I use t05fx on backhand and Rozena on Forehand on Jun Mizutani Blade.
Rozena is spinier and faster than t05fx but the curve trajectory of Rozena is lower than 05fx.

Please make a review also of the new Rasanter R42, R47, R50. Thank you :)
On it's way! :)
Is your shop international
Can't decide for backhand. Butterfly rozena or xiom vega asia
what abot choping with rozena? is good? stable?
Very helpful information. Thank you!
My rubber backhand with viscaria blade
I am a intermediate player more of a topspin kind, should I buy the tenergy 05 or rozena

Awesome a review that tells you the weakness of the product

The Rosena little bit same like Donic Bluefire M2?
Nice to see companies being considerate to mid-tier players. BTW Dan plays exactly like Timo!
Hi is the rozena a cheap tenergy then?
He mentions that Rozena is going to be about 20% cheaper than Tenergy.
The Ginger Ninja here the Rozena cost 44,90€ compared to the 56,90€ of the 05
can review Dhs power g15 or g5 with hurricane 3 rubber ? pls
How vs rakza 7 ?
Simply love your channel dude, but you are the William Shattner of tabletennis :D

Sounds like they are playing with steel blades
I think tenergy05 are the best

Hows the control of this rubber?
Pretty decent
Rozena is great for beginner to intermediates as its spin insensitive. However, the downside is it feels much like a dead rubber and doesn't feel enjoyable to play with. It also doesn't help you develop your spin touch so will inhibit long term learning.
