External Review for Butterfly Tenergy 19 on October 9, 2022

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!
