Have any of you T05 lovers switched to T19 and consider it an upgrade in term of grip and spin for plastic ball era ?

Could you please elaborate a bit on where you find T19 surpassing T05 and where it falls short in terms of spin generation? I am contemplating going back to something a bit softer and easier to spin with on my backhand (currently playing with Glayzer) and T19 is among the candidates along with...

I am really curious about "unbelievably forgiving" statement about these rubbers that I see on the banner and would kindly ask if someone could compare control and "forgiveness" of Omega VII compared to Tibhar Genius (or similar "older" tensor) I currently use. I love Genius but I don't still...
