    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.

      Behind the bench (Experience: 4〜5 years) Easy to use

      Reviews by user

      Easy to block with. If you just get the angle right it generally goes in, so if you're not sure which rubber to choose, I think this is a good one to go with.

      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.
