    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a versatile rubber for beginners to intermediate players, though advanced players note insufficient power. Its excellent control performance and good value for money make it ideal for learning fundamental techniques.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Superior control performance makes short-range techniques easy
    • Versatility with few idiosyncrasies suits all beginners
    • Affordable price allows easy replacement and experimentation
    • Speed and spin power tend to fall short of expectations
    • Highly rated as a backhand rubber option
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveControl is so good it feels like a high-elasticity rubber, making court coverage techniques easy. For this price, the performance is honestly the best value. Perfect match for players wanting to level up basic techniques.
    ▽ CriticalFeels like a hard rubber only when hitting hard balls. Spin doesn't catch well, possibly due to weak sheet. Trajectory becomes linear, making powerful lifting drives difficult. May be challenging for advanced players.

      H, Y (Experience: 2〜3 years) Control and stability

      Reviews by user

      Control is the best there is.
      Drive stability is really great.
      It was easier to use than Fly At Spin. (Fly At Spin was easier for flicking against backspin.)
      It's excellent on both forehand and backhand. Since it's soft, I'd recommend backhand for advanced players, and forehand or both sides for intermediate players. I use it on both sides.
      I switched my blade from the Kasumi Basic to the Kasumi Special, and Factive matches well with both.
      (I haven't tried Factive Carbon, but I think it would match well too.)
      There's also a Factive Guard side tape. It looks really cool.
      The pink-black one especially looks great.
      I'd particularly recommend Factive to intermediate players.

      Counterman (Experience: 4〜5 years) Everything goes in, perfect for backhand

      Reviews by user

      I was using Vega Europe DF, but I wasn't playing well with it, and the moment I switched to Factive, my shots started landing. It's a bit hard, so it flies well. Control is easy, and even balls I couldn't hit the way I wanted still go in with this rubber. It feels really good to use.

      Diamond (Experience: 6〜10 years) For beginners

      Reviews by user

      I'd say it feels like an entry-level tension rubber? For people who've used something like the Fastarc series, it'll probably feel lacking in a lot of ways. It's soft, so it really seems to be built with ease of use in mind.

      Takkyu Otaku (Experience: 2〜3 years) The feel varies from person to person

      Reviews by user

      I use it in black, medium thickness.
      - Forehand
      Gets good speed
      If you take care of it properly, you can get spin on it too
      Easy to counter with
      - Backhand
      Easy to adjust the strength of your blocks
      Pushes don't pop up easily
      Easy to stop the ball
      - Downsides
      Hard to put spin on serves
      Lifespan is relatively short
      Drives tend to come out flat, so loop drives are hard to do
      *This may vary depending on the blade you use and how you store it
      I'd recommend it for the backhand!

      No real weaknesses. It's well balanced overall, so it's easy to handle. The speed and spin are just right, so I think it's ideal for learning technique. Control is easy too. If you're a junior high or elementary school kid who's unsure what rubber to use, you really can't go wrong putting Factive on. Blocking and driving are both easy, so I think it's a good rubber for figuring out your playing style.
      I'd recommend it to elementary and junior high schoolers who don't know what rubber to choose, or who want to work out their playing style.

      Lev. (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Reviews by user

      I've got it on both sides, but I think it's good for the backhand (thick). It's easy to block with, and my drives land pretty successfully too! On the forehand though, it didn't really suit me (max thickness) — driving against backspin in particular felt lacking. But the spin on my serves was good. By the way, my chops landed better than I expected lol. My friends and seniors say it's incredibly light.

      Shoshinsha Kozou (Experience: 4〜5 years) Light and stable tension rubber

      Reviews by user

      It doesn't have any standout performance, but it's a rubber with no quirks and no real weaknesses. It's very stable, and because it's a bit too well-behaved, the ball doesn't fly around wildly, so it's easy for your opponent to return too, I think. It's a light tension rubber that's perfect for beginners as a step up from high-bounce rubber. I also think it's a great rubber that's very stable for intermediate players and on the backhand side of a Chinese penhold grip. There are competing rubbers like Vega, Rygan, and GTT, but I think Factive is the crowd-pleaser that never really fails you.
      It has good grip on the ball, so lifting backspin is very easy. The sponge also produces speed easily, so it should work up to intermediate level. Chops also come in with a sharp, low trajectory. The short game is easy too, so I feel it's perfect for building your technique. Once Factive starts to feel like it's not enough, step up to Fastarc G1.
