What is tensor technology in rubbers?
Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago
Hi Pratap,
It is just where they have stretched the rubber to add tension to it. This makes the rubber faster.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

So is this a good thing and if it is then u doesn't tenergy do this.
Tenergy is a tensor rubber.

Butterfly calls its tensor rubbers "H Tension". Maybe there's a patent on this, but it's certainly more or less the same principle as all the other tensor rubbers. The trouble with this technology, which is supposed to reproduce the effects of the now banned speed glue, is that its effect doesn't last. Sometimes it can vanish very rapidly, like in a couple of months. So if you don't need maximum speed and you're on a budget, prefer the non-tensor rubbers, like the Yasaka Mark V for example. I also don't like the "trampoline" effect of some tensor rubbers (non-linear response from soft to harder hits) that makes them less predictable than regular rubbers.
