butterfly tenergy 25

what's up with tenergy 25?
why nobody uses it?
looking at the 2016 catalog they have  a drawing with the trajectory of 05, 80 and 64.
25?they don't even show it.

25 is great for pushing, flat hitting and blocking.
ball travels in a straight line.
it's really bad when you get away from the table and have to loop or counter loop a ball that's already past the net height.
because of the same reason.
the ball just won't go up and make a curve and then go down again like with 05.
it wants to travel in a straight line.
that's why it's really a rubber for staying close to the table.

pro players dont' do this in general, they start backing away from the table and they start counterlooping.
even when they are close to the table they want to counterloop.
which means they need the arc that 05, 80 gives them.
25 gives them no arc so they can't really use it.
amateur players copy pro players.
pros don't use it -> amateurs don't use it.

also in terms of speed and spin I always noticed it lacked both when compared to 05 and 64.
I guess you could say this gives it more control and it's true, but most players are looking for that arc for looping, for the speed for counterlooping.
that's why it's the left aside tenergy.
