I play penhold with short pips on the forehand, but I've been using Sriver G2FX to learn the reverse-side technique. After three months, once my coach judged that I'd gotten the hang of applying spin, I switched to Factive for the first time. With Sriver too, if you hit it firmly, the ball goes in. You can also produce fast shots. But once I switched to Factive, it flew slightly higher and slightly farther than with Sriver, which actually made it more stable. I think this means that if it flew even more, it would become unstable instead. Now I understand why this rubber is called a "second rubber." But it's honestly too good a rubber to just treat as a stepping stone. I feel like sticking with this rubber for a while.
Lastly, I don't think you should rush to step up your equipment if your technique hasn't caught up yet. It would be a waste of a good rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used this with a Korbel blade. It goes in easily just by touching the ball. Spin might be a little harder to put on the ball?
But I think it works great if you pair it with a rubber that grips well on the other side.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I have thick on both sides. If you sink the ball in on your serve, it bites really well. Blocking is super easy with this, it's the best!
Pushes float up a little, but if you really chop through the ball, it stays low and the opponent often misses!
It also lasts longer than Vega or GTT, so I'd recommend it for beginners! Just be aware that the forehand doesn't bounce as much, and its lifespan gets a bit shorter there. Weight-wise the sponge is a bit light,
so it's easy to swing even at max thickness. So I'd recommend it to people switching to tension rubber for the first time, or anyone who's lost confidence in their game!!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The first time I switched rubbers, I tried putting this on the backhand and it was really easy to use!
It's cheap and lasts a long time too, so I thought it was a really good rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The first time I used it, I personally felt it was really easy to do bobbing shots with. Compared to the rubber I used before, it was easier to move the ball back and forth, and in a way it was a rubber you could win with through bobbing. Also, Factive makes it easy to counter off a smash, and you can hit a really quick ball just by keeping the racket near the table. A rubber I'd recommend for both defensive and offensive styles! Though it does lack a bit in spin.

Mainly used on the backhand, thickness is thick.
Recommended for players who focus on blocking.
It's a well-balanced, easy-to-use rubber, and it feels forgiving against the opponent's spin, so it's strong in a receiving style of play. Blocking in particular is very versatile, both long and short and to any course.
Maybe it's my technique, but pushes are just okay.
For some reason serves bite really well. I'd recommend hitting with the ball sinking into the sponge.When attacking, I think it's best to hit in a way that lets the ball sink into the sponge.
If you brush it, the ball drops...As long as you think of it as a mid-range rubber, it's a really easy-to-use, good rubber.
If you pick it during a step-up phase without overreaching, both receives and blocks stay stable, so I'd recommend it for players who want consistency!I wouldn't recommend it as much for intermediate to advanced players.
The harder you can hit, the more you'll feel like you're losing something.
The forehand especially is tough. You get this strong feeling of "this isn't really what I'm capable of."I've written a lot, but I'd highly recommend this to players who want consistency or are aiming to become intermediate players.
It's moderately forgiving with no weird quirks, so it's very easy to handle!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Bought this as the third rubber for my daughter (4th grade), who's in her third year playing.
We switched from Vega Europe, which we went through 3 sets of in a year.
The reason we picked this was budget - we're limited to about ¥3,000 per sheet.
Hitting with it myself, the only difference I noticed from Vega Europe was that it felt maybe a touch harder.
Total weight dropped by about 5g, but it felt even lighter than the number suggests.
Watching my daughter's matches, my first impression was that her push mistakes dropped noticeably.
Also, her attacking receives like flicks started going in so consistently it almost felt like she'd suddenly gotten better.
As for durability, with Vega the edges started crumbling and tearing off before a month was up, but so far there's no sign of that happening with this one.
In forehand rallies it seems to lack a bit of power, so we might need to think about that a bit more, but at my daughter's current level, it seems ideal for the backhand.
This taught me the importance of matching equipment to my daughter's growth and development.After switching her blade to an acoustic carbon inner, she stopped losing rallies on power.
It should be plenty until she gets bigger and can generate more power herself.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Racket recommended use Acoustic Carbon Inner
