Got this rubber after several reviews to replace my 2 year old dignics 80 for my BH.
Decided to try it out after multiple reviews hoping it will be a good candidate for my BH rubber on Viscaria.
The rubber feels very simular to T05, but a bit softer and with more control.
After trying it out for a few hours this rubber feels a bit passive for my BH, it requires you to be infant of the boll for a good quality shots.
For now I'm switching to use this rubber of my FH, which provides more control and longer dwell time to generate good quality spins.
I do not recommend to put this rubber on Viscaria for BH use, perhaps stiffer blade will work better.

I use T19 for my forehand. It is indeed a spinier version of T05 and I really like it a lot. I am looking for a softer yet more spin and T19 is just what I am looking for. I tried T05 Hard on my forehand for years and it was good but with T19 I can attack more away from the table.
Nice rubber, fast yet controllable. It grips the ball well, makes it a good rubber to do flicks and spins close to the table. I like that it is not so bouncy and that the kick is average compared to other tensors which makes it a consistent rubber imo. Only downside is thatI can not really make use of the spin potential it has, I play it on my bh, for sure my inferior technique has do with this. I like to have a bit more arch and spin on the ball then I am getting out of this rubber. However I think it is a great and consistent rubber, which has a lot of gears if you have the level and technique to get te most out of it.
This rubber looks than T05 but hes more control for blocking. The foam is the same but the rubber surface is a little softer than T05, but the amount of spin is still huge. More controllable than T80, and the throw angle is T05 > T19 > T80 > T64
Woooah! What a fantastic rubber! Dwell time so long. Spin so crazy. Good speed but not too much, significantly less than super fast rubbers such as mx-p, but just a notch behind t05. Control is enormous. Well executed loops give you a lot satisfaction/pleasure so much the ball sings into the rubber before poping up with tons of spin. Easy counter top spins, great blocs, pushes and very spinny chop stokes. Feels medium hard, just a noch less hard than t05. A lot more easier to play than other rubbers in the same speed & spin range (t05, mx-p, bluefire m2 ...). Highly recommended to intermediate players or even beginners. Just a default, the price too high :-(
The T19 is an extremely good Tenergy rubber, much better than the T05. I will list a few things and details regarding why the T19 is better than T05 in my opinion. Please note the tests were performed on a Butterfly Korbel SK7 blade.
Speed; The speed is just about the same as T05. With a tiny bit faster swing or movement with your arm, you will be able to produce high speed shots with the T19. Of course, this depends on what blade you are using, that is why some people claim that T19 is slower/faster than T05.
Spin; The spin is tremendous, slightly but not unsignificantly higher than the T05. While testing, both rubbers' spin went back and forth multiple times when I hit them into the net, but the shot with the T19 kept on having the residual spin for a bit longer than T05. It's topspin and underspin are pure quality and the sidespin is also something your opponents should be care of. The spin on serves is also pretty good, you can put some quality rotation to the ball if hit with proper technique. Serves spinny and short are also option for this rubber.
Control; The control is also great, more controllable than the T05. It is because of the less powerful trajectory effect and the more dwell time. The ball sinks into the rubber more than the T05, thus it does not bounce off rapidly from the top sheet means you have slightly more time to direct the ball where you want to. It also means that the T19 is somewhat less spin-sensitive because of the missing trajectory effect, thus it is not going to shoot out quickly from the rubber, but also will be slightly slower. It also has a slightly higher arc and throw angle which might come in handy to apply pressure if hit well.
If you were or have been using T05 before, you will easily adapt to this rubber, as pretty much everything is the same except for some minor things which can be adapted to with enough training and diligence. Overally I can say, it is better than T05!

telling you the truth, I prefer to use this T-19 as not too fast instead of T-05. The good thing of this rubber is once chop and drive then will make difficulty to chop again or smash by opponent. It seems this rubber is suit for my game. I use it on forehand and using long pips Gangster dr. neubaueur on the back hand. You should try it...
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.
Potah je podobn T 05,je o trochu pomalej ale lpe ovladateln, kod soupe?i p?i prudkm seknut bekhendem,kdy soupe?ovi m?ky kon? ?asto v s?ce.Bekhendov zakon?en sme? je perfektn.Na forhendov stran? hraje tak vborn? ale hlavn? je to nejmn? skkav potah od TENERGY. Tento potah m velmi vysokou kontrolu.
Tested the T19 for some weeks now. Conclusion: So far my favorit Tenergy for backhand use. Some kind of a T05/T80 hybrid, I would say. Because of its very grippy topsheet's pimple structure it plays a li'l softer than T05, but isn't as springy as T80/T64 (same sponge hardness) or T05fx (softer sponge). Luv it! Guess I stay with the red 1.7mm T19 on the BH side of my Stiga Allround Cassic penhold blade. Great spin (on T05 niveau). Medium high throw; easy to adjust in realtime. Maybe higher with 1.9/2.1 sponge (?). Works great over the table. Pretty suitable for the RPB banana. Good for RPB topspin and counter attack. Blocks are more comftable and consistant to play than with T05/D05/D09c. Truly a nice Tenergy upgrade for the 40+ poly ball. The 1.7mm version has an acceptable weight; about the same as the T05's/D05's weight; maybe insignificantly heavier than a 1.7mm T80 (havn't checked, cuz I only have a 1.9mm T80). Easier to use than T05 and more forgiving/controlable/linear than T05fx/T80/T64. I my opinion you maybe can say that the T19 is a li'l less extreme Tenergy incarnation, suitable for all those who want the best characteristics of T05 and T80 packed into one rubber, without shouting over the table so quickly. Thank you, Butterfly!
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.
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.
