This is the first equipment review video I've done. Please let me know what you think and if you'd like to see similar content in the future. Feel free to leave suggestions or ask questions!
it's an amazing rubber for people wanting to step up from rakza 7 or sriver/mark v into the fastarc/tenergy/mx-p category. It gives you the feeling of tenergy that no other esn really has without the difficulty that tenergy 05 has for handling things like blocking slow spinny loops. In general it will give you a lot more confidence. For us amateur players there really is no reason to go for 05 over 19
Sounds like T19 might be a good option for a modern defender. I use Victas V15 Spezial as inverted rubber, will try V20DE next, but considering going T19 next time around, since the Victas rubbers don‘t last overly long. Thanks for the review and your description of T19.
I agree 100 % of using this tenergy 19 with a hard blade. I am about to give up Lin yun ju blade until I accidentally put it on the forehand side. I think I am putting my tenergy hard on my forehand side. I beat a chopper with long pips who I have not beaten in ten years . It gives me so much control. I am not seeing well and I think it is a tenergy 05 hard when I put it on before the game. I use dignics 05 on back hand. I am glad I do not give my tenergy 19 away. U are right on your conclusion.
while you are describing the review kindly low down the music or do not play in the background as it is very distracting coz we are unable to hear your word clearly. otherwise amazing review and keep going, keep rocking.
Great review! I think you added a lot of really good insight as to what this rubber offers and what it is good for. I’ve seen a lot of equipment reviews, and this is one of the best. Could you describe how you felt it did on serves?
It feels soft and dwelly, just like its feel overall. Easy to generate spin because of the long hold, but not as hard of a feel as hurricane, Dignics, or T05
'tenergy 19... it's like -duh- -duh-, but then with tenergy 05 and the others... it's like -woooOOH- -woooOOH-' Ah yes, I understand now, you're speaking my language. xD Nice review, cool perspective.
Since you currently use T80 on your backhand, can you go into a little more detail on T80 vs T19? It seems like these are almost more comparable than T19 and T05.
Tenergy 19 holds the ball longer than 80. It also creates more spin but is less explosive. It’s easier to control 19 because of the dwell, which helps flips, pushes, and blocks feel more effortless. With 80 u need to engage with your stroke to push the ball out, 19 feels like u just grab and hold the ball and stroke forward and it goes in with lots of spin. 80 is a bit faster than 19 and less spinny and less long arc
Nice review! I was waiting for it lol. The only thing you didn't cover that I'd like to know is if T19 feels softer, harder or the same compared to T05 and T80 (like how T80 feels a bit softer than T05, due to the difference in pimples). Stretching is great and can really improve your game and recovery, but I think you've found out that you should do it a little bit every day and in spurts, not for 2 hours straight! Lol.
I have 19 and 05. I agree with his comments. 19 gives me so much more control. I use it on BH only. 05 placement on the table is not as consistent for me. Again, the 19 is much better for placement and control. I have just ordered a Dignics 09c for the forehand, and I hope it works out good. Been using DHS H3 on the FH.
Its the exact set up im using with my viscaria(84gm). Best things about this setup is opening up against back spin. With T19 on bh I feel I can use a lot more power when opening up and still land the ball on the table.Hope this helps 😅
T05 is the most explosive rubber I've played with, including Dignics 05 (which I didn't like after 4 weeks of trial). This new rubber seems like a muted version of Tenergy. Just a word of friendly advice, your footwork could improve and you don't always have to play big shots when you're out of position: containment shots can be effective if well-placed.
Definitely the Dignics series is more inert than Tenergy. You’re right the tenergy 19 is a bit muted, but it still offers plenty of spin and speed. Thanks for the advice, my footwork definitely needs improvement. I think my placement when out of position is actually one of my strengths though, but it’s not apparent in this footage because we are just messing around. In my matches I’m a lot more tactical about this
So you're talking while there is music playing, while there is practice happening, and I'm not listening to what you're saying because I can't focus on that many things.
