The Butterfly Tenergy 19 is a high-tension, pimples-in table tennis rubber..
It is designed to offer a great mix of speed, heavy spin, and improved control compared to older classics like the Tenergy 05.
Key Features & Specifications
Sponge Hardness: 36 degrees (Spring Sponge technology for a high catapult effect)
Pimple Structure: Features Code No. 219—narrower, densely arranged pimples that depress easily to grab the ball.
Dwell Time: Offers a longer ball contact time (dwell time) than other Tenergy variants, which aids control during passive play.
Thickness Options: Available in 1.7 mm, 1.9 mm, and 2.1 mm.
Colors: Red and Black.
Topspin & Looping: Excels at open-ups, counter-topspins, and active rallies, giving you a predictable, high-arc trajectory with plenty of safety.
Passive Play & Blocking: The enhanced grip and dwell time make service returns, short-game touches, and passive blocks much steadier than with Tenergy 05.
Ideal Placement: Many players love using it as a backhand (BH) rubber because it lets you initiate attacks easily, though it performs capably on the forehand side too depending on your preference.
