Hi Paul68,

I'll try to summarize the most important features of the Evolution rubers.
I'm playing with an old classical Korbel Off blade from Japan. It's a heavy and relatively stiff one with a weight of 94 g.
First of all, I have to say that I tried myself the MX-P and MX-S. The EL-S is currently under test. My statements about the other rubbers is obtained from extrapolation and what I read from others.

"P" vs. "S"
"P" stands for power and "S" for spin. This means that the P versions are more powerful compared to corresponding S versions. They have a higher dynamic range (higher catapult effect). On the other hand, the S versions allow for more spin. The differences are caused by the slightly harder sponge in combination with the special surface of the S versions compared to corresponding P versions.

MX vs. EL vs. FX
The MX rubbers have the hardest sponge and a flexible surface. FX rubbers have a similar (or same) surface as MX rubers but a much softer sponge. So, the FX rubbers can be considered as the small brothers of the MX rubbers playing much softer and, of course, less powerful.
The EL rubbers are different. They consist of a (soft-)medium sponge in combination with a less flexible (stiffer) surface. They are very good for blocking and other straight strokes. Particularly, the EL-P is excellent in doing that. The EL-S is very special. It can be considered as a combination of the positive features from MX-P and MX-S but softer feeling. So, players who like the power and spin of the MX rubbers but think that these rubbers are a bit too hard should certainly have a look at the EL-S.

Evolutions vs. Tenergys
First of all, I have to say that I don't play with Butterfly rubbers anymore. One of the reasons is that I don't want to support their price politics. Secondly, the Tenergy rubbers are not good for my style of playing. And this is, why I don't like this kind of comparison. I think that Tenergy rubbers are difficult to play for any kind of passive stroke. This is particularly true for blocking, which is very important for me. Any Evolution rubber (or almost all other ESN rubbers) are better in doing that.
But if you are asking for a Tenergy replacement my personal view is as follows. The MX-S is most similar to the T05 and the FX-S to the T05 FX. The correponding P versions can be considered, too. But they are faster, feel softer, and produce less spin. The EL-S might be also an option for T05 replacement. But the feeling is completely different! I think the EL-S is the best option for replacement of the T64 rubber. The other Tenergy rubbers I don't know.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
