Hi Brian,
Great review!!
last weekend I relapsed and went all out EJ retard!!!
Bought a Viscaria, T05 and T19 both in 1.9mm.
I’ve never tried T05, and just had to give it a go, to see what all the fuss is about!!!
received them yesterday and glued them up, used them for the first time today.
Previously I have tried T80FX in max and D09C in 1.9mm.
I could only practice with a robot, still lockdown here.
Initial thoughts are that both are very similar, and for me the main difference that was really noticeable was the throw / trajectory / arc of T19 being lower, took a few adjustments when topspin v backspin.
The other ‘feel’ that stuck out, was that both felt fairly hard, especially compared to Rakza Z, which really lets the ball sink in (mounted on a Acoustic Inner). D09C also felt harder in comparison to Rakza Z as well.
I’ll practice again tomorrow and see if I can feel the difference in ‘dwell’ between the 2 tenergy’s although my limited skills may not suffice!!! Also the thinner sponge and fairly stiff blade may affect ‘dwell’
Serving with both was good, high spin, a little harder to control compared to Rakza Z because of the catapult of the spring sponge. Spin similar to Rakza Z and many other rubbers out there!!
Overall, I quite liked both rubbers, the blade was great!!
