Butterfly Tenergy 19

It's an easier to use and more forgiving Tenergy 05. It has a slightly lower top speed, but it's still quite fast and it's easy to produce a good quality shot with.

When compare to TG05. It's lower throw angle, a bit higher spin and speed. First day many ball hit to the net but it's ok after practice for a couple days. Then I realize the benefit of TG19 over TG05 is when we smash with flat + a bit spin the ball go lower & faster. To me it's better than TG05 but need to adjust.

T19 2.1mm red (48g) on Viscaria. The main difference with T05, is 1) it is heavier, 2) the feeling at impact is different especially in counter spin, 3) excellent in block, 4) it demands to play in front of the ball, always, because it does not forgive misplacements. So to me, this rubber is an adjustment from T05 to have better success rate in counter spin. But even that, the throw angle is quite high, the feeling is soft, but a bit harder than T05, and it is heavier. It is a good rubber as BH, and top spins at mid-distance are as good as T05, landing maybe closer compared to T05. I was not so impressed by T19, except once, when I succeeded a super nice BH counter spin, which is still difficult to reproduce at my level, but I have understood the hidden power of this rubber. So I guess not for me but for pro players ... In resume, it is a T05 a little bit customised, heavier, for better BH counter spin ... for closed to the table and mid-distance.

Very spinny and powerful rubber. Great on the viscaria. You can transition easily from Tenergy 05, which I did and it was a great decision.

Switched “down” from Dignics05/80 FH/BH to T19 both sides on my Viscaria ALC. Throw on Dignics 05 was too high for me and the lift on D80 for my BH style was a problem. T19 solved for both! A terrific rubber - no compromise on playability compared to T05 with a medium-low throw, good enough penetration and easier backspin lift. 3rd opening is consistent and easy, most importantly my BH opening has improved drastically. Caveat: BH punches and blocks are less ‘deadly’ than Dignics and I miss the ‘snap’ but the consistency more than makes up for it; besides lesser spin sensitivity means my BH passive blocks are more predictable now. I think I have finally zeroed-in on my go-to rubber!
