    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a versatile rubber for beginners to intermediate players, characterized by excellent control and good ball retention. However, advanced players point out insufficient power and spin quantity.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Superior control performance, easy to master table techniques
    • Clear ball gripping sensation ideal for fundamental skill learning
    • Excellent value with affordable price and good durability
    • Speed and spin tend to fall short of expectations
    • Particularly recommended as a second rubber and back rubber
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe rubber grips the ball well so anyone can improve at table tennis. It's affordable with good durability, making it the best match for those wanting to level up fundamental techniques.
    ▽ CriticalThe high control comes at a cost of insufficient speed and spin. When hitting harder, it behaves like a short pimple rubber with overly linear trajectory.

      Table tennis addict (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to control

      Reviews by user

      I think the control is really good.
      However, precisely because the control is so good, I felt the spin and speed were lacking.
      I have it on my backhand, but I feel it works best as a supporting rubber for someone who's strong on the forehand, for example.

      Reviews by user

      I have it on my backhand
      At first the grip on the ball is great
      but after about 2 months it starts to feel not so great anymore
      Backhand drives produce really good shots
      I don't think you'd lose anything by trying it

      General table tennis enthusiast (Experience: 11〜20 years)

      Reviews by user

      Currently using it thick (2.0) on the forehand (F side).
      The balance of speed, spin, and control is very good, so I'd recommend it for a shakehand player with long pips on the backhand who plays an attack/defense style close to the table.
      (Pros)
      The bounce is moderate, which makes it easy to chain drives and meet hits together close to the table.

      Serves — it's easy to vary the length of the course and the type of spin, which can force your opponent into receive mistakes.

      The short game — as an inverted rubber, it's less affected by incoming spin, so pushes and stops are easy to do.

      Control is good, so even when I'm nervous I make fewer careless mistakes, and it holds up well enough in matches that my win rate went up.

      (Cons)
      It's a bit slower than the Fastarc series and doesn't have the power to blow a shot past your opponent in one hit, but it's easy to work the placement and change of pace on the ball, which can draw mistakes out of your opponent.

      If you're a shakehand player (with long pips on the backhand) who makes a lot of forehand mistakes, or someone who values stability, I think it's worth giving Factive a try.

      Tamanegi (Experience: 2〜3 years) Outstanding stability

      Reviews by user

      I use it on the backhand (B side). Medium thickness.
      Stability is outstanding.
      Drives are very easy to hit.
      It doesn't bounce much, so stops are easier to do than pushes.
      However, I get the impression that weak balls tend to go in.

      I'd say this is a rubber for beginners.

      Sora (Experience: 4〜5 years) No quirks, easy to use!

      Reviews by user

      After trying it out, my impression is that you can play every shot consistently with this Factive. It really has no quirks and is easy to use. It's softer than I expected, so I think it's good for people aiming for stable play, like on the backhand. It's easy to put spin on, so I'd recommend it for beginners. That said, it's not really a rubber for advanced players. Still, for the price, it gets spin, produces speed, and is easy to handle, so I'd recommend it quite a bit.
      If I had to name a downside, though, lifting backspin felt a little tough. Still, I think it's a rubber that can help you improve your technique. So since it's easy to use, I'd recommend it to beginners and people who are just starting out.

      Chestoooooooooo! (Experience: 6〜10 years) No quirks

      Reviews by user

      My first impression was that it's a rubber with very few quirks and it's easy to use. Blocking in particular was easy. I'd recommend it for kids just starting out in table tennis, or anyone who can't hit hard shots yet. I thought it was ideal for learning attacking techniques like drives and smashes. Also, when used on the backhand it's very stable, and I thought it was ideal for mastering attacking techniques like blocks, flicks, chiquitas, and stops. Also, when used on the backhand it's very stable, and it's well suited for mastering basic techniques like blocks, flicks, chiquita, stops, and pushes. On the forehand, if you want to smash powerful drives, I think the amount of spin falls a bit short.

      Cutman from Toke (Experience: 4〜5 years) A super rare chopper's perspective

      Reviews by user

      I have it on my forehand.
      Control is good and it gets plenty of spin, so it's great for an aggressive chopper.
      Forehand chops bounce quite a bit at first, but you get used to it, and drive power is outstanding too.
      I'm not sure if it's the rubber's doing, but sometimes an unbelievably sharp, low chop comes out automatically right off the table.
      I'd recommend it to aggressive choppers who don't like tacky rubber.
