    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Tenergy 19 is highly rated as a user-friendly rubber suitable for beginners to advanced players, thanks to its soft and gripping characteristics compared to 05. Its exceptional stability in speed drives, counters, and short-range play is particularly praised, with many noting its suitability for modern plastic ball table tennis.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Easy to grip and control for intermediate players
    • Speed drives and counters are exceptionally smooth
    • Consistent performance across all techniques
    • Softer feel compared to 05 with less strain
    • High durability for extended use
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being soft, it excels at stops and counter-drives. The speed drive has excellent arc and sinking ability, making it possible to hit powerful drives with high quality. It's a cheat-code rubber that's surprisingly easy to handle for a Tenergy product.
    ▽ CriticalThe easily gripping sheet may reduce the benefits of the spring sponge, causing energy loss and pronounced bottoming-out feeling. Players with fast swings may find it unsuitable.

      STIGA maniac (Experience: More than 20 years) The ultimate counter-hit rubber — and it flies!

      Reviews by user

      I hit with a max-thickness test sample mounted on a Harimoto Innerforce.
      Bouncing the ball on it felt really soft, but once I actually hit with it, it had a good amount of firmness and springiness.
      It flies quite a bit — the speed felt noticeably faster than 05 and the like.
      The standout feature is that counters go in even with a casual swing. The topsheet grabs the ball firmly, so the consistency was amazing. I wonder if this is where the densely packed pips on the topsheet show their value. It feels soft for a forehand rubber, but I think it could actually work.

      RYO (Experience: 4〜5 years) A Tenergy for beginners to intermediate players?

      Reviews by user

      My impression is like a Rozena with speed and bounce bumped up one level and spin bumped up two levels,
      or a Rigan Spin with speed and bounce bumped up two levels and spin bumped up one level.
      It gets compared to Tenergy 05 a lot, but I think it's actually a somewhat different type of rubber.
      In terms of feel, it's like a calmer, more arc-producing Dig 64.
      The hardness feels about the same too.
      There's a "just swing and it goes in" quality to it, so I'd recommend it to working adults who play table tennis as a hobby and still enter tournaments, but can't put in the training volume or practice time to really use Tenergy.
      Students, don't take the easy route with Tenergy — go practice instead.

      I actually got to try Tenergy 19!
      The feel is on the softer side — my impression was like a harder version of Rozena.
      The performance is Tenergy-class, but since it's on the softer side, it might not suit advanced hard hitters.
      It sinks in quite easily, and the performance is more than enough for intermediate players.

      sarah (Experience: 11〜20 years) An even grippier Tenergy 05

      Reviews by user

      Compared to 05, I felt this holds the ball longer. That makes chiquitas and backspin drives really easy to do, and it's also easy to put spin on.
      It sinks into and grips the ball on its own, so mishits are rare, and in topspin rallies or counters I never felt like I was losing out to my opponent's spin or power.
      That said, it has that characteristic squishy Tenergy feel quite strongly, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who dislikes that. Also, I felt you need to swing with a fair amount of force to get the most out of this rubber's performance.
      I'd recommend this rubber to players who want more consistency and power on chiquitas and drives, or who want more ball-holding and spin —
      choppers, for example.

      I bought this at the open price on Rakuten. My blade is a Chinese-style penhold.
      I'd always thought Tenergy 05 thick was the best fit for my forehand, so when Tenergy finally released a new rubber, I bought it. Since my blade is carbon, I got thick rather than max thickness, and I'm glad I didn't go with max. Even at thick it handles play from mid-distance and away from the table just fine, and it flies well. Forehand flicks are easy too. I use a tacky rubber on my backhand, and the combination is fantastic. Personally, I prefer this over Dignics. It's expensive, but I plan to keep using it going forward.
      Sorry for the long review.

      Kurimon (Experience: 11〜20 years) A god at close-to-table backhand

      Reviews by user

      I borrowed a friend's and tried it on both forehand and backhand.
      Overall, this is a backhand rubber that always draws an ideal arc when you put spin on it, but it doesn't suit a hard-hitting style very well.

      On the forehand it felt lacking for a male player — it's a bit too soft for forehand use, and the ball flies off before it fully sinks into the sponge. Any drive comes out with a beautiful arc, but the spin feels a bit thin compared to how nice the arc looks.

      On the backhand, just like the forehand, every drive goes in beautifully, and the backhand side felt like just the right hardness to bring out the rubber's real performance.
      Stops, chiquitas, flicks, counters, blocks, and redirects — whatever you try, you can hit it exactly where you aim with just the arc you want. I did feel a bit short on power on the backhand from mid-distance, so I think anyone with a close-to-the-table playing style would find this easy to handle!

      Thompson (Experience: 11〜20 years) The highest-flying Tenergy

      Reviews by user

      I'm a 05 user. The sponge hardness is the same as 05 on paper, but in actual use I found it softer and easier to sink the ball into than 05. Also, the spec sheet shows both spin and speed as higher than 05, but I suspect that's really only true for light hits. On shots with a solid, full impact, I felt 05 was actually better in both spin and speed.
      I think the biggest feature of this rubber is that it lifts the ball upward. You can smash even a well-cut backspin ball with full power.
      That said, in topspin rallies you need to close the racket angle a bit or you'll hit long.
      For serves, both the spin and speed are excellent, and better than 05. Counters and flat hits were also way easier than with 05.
      However, I found it hard to produce that piercing, driving ball from away from the table the way 05 can.
      Given all this, I don't think it's an upgraded version of 05 the way the spec numbers suggest — it's a rubber with both strengths and weaknesses. Players who are confident in their impact are probably better off with 05, and I think that's why so few top male pros use 19. Given these traits, I think this rubber suits female players or junior high schoolers who aren't confident in their impact, or players who play close to the table.
