Hey Lem, Yes over time the feeling of rubbers when they have been played with changes quite a bit and becomes more worn in. You become very used to the feeling and touch of the rubber and when you do change the new one can feel alien and not great. This will improve over time playing with the new one for sure and after a while you’ll feel it’s much closer to the one you had before. The taking off and gluing back on again that you mentioned won’t have boosted it in any way but what it will do it make the rubber feel softer. So trying tenergy 05fx might not be a bad suggestion as it’s just a softer version of 05. I would suggest after the tournament this weekend giving the new one a try for a couple of weeks and see how it feels then, if you still feel it isn’t anywhere near to the old one you had, then perhaps when you replace the old one you have with a sheet of 05fx.
Stay safe, cheers, Tom
