    Our most successful rubber since its introduction in 1967.
    More than 20 World & 70 European titles have been won with Sriver.
    A hard & tacky surface and medium hard & flexible sponge makes it the best choice for all-round attackers.
    Its consistency proves it's the all-time winner.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Slayer is highly regarded as a classic high-elasticity rubber ideal for beginners and intermediate players to build foundational skills. Although its popularity has declined with the rise of tension rubbers, many users praise its unique ball trajectories and note the importance of not mixing it with tension rubbers due to different swing requirements.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Optimal balance-type rubber for foundational skill-building
    • Hard sponge helps develop proper form and technique
    • Thickness recommended at thick or extra-thick; thin not recommended
    • Creates unique trajectories for differentiation from opponents
    • Incompatible mixing with tension systems changes stroke mechanics
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveIt has no significant drawbacks, allows easy spin generation, and makes topspin and push strokes straightforward to execute. Perfect balance for intermediate players with 3-5 years experience.
    ▽ CriticalSpin and speed performance fall short of modern tension rubbers, requiring larger swings with power needed to maximize performance.

      In a word, it's "balanced." Nothing about it stands out in particular, but there's nothing especially bad about it either. Everything is just right. I'd recommend it to intermediate players with 3-5 years of table tennis experience. For beginners, I'd recommend Flextra, also from Butterfly. The sponge is on the hard side. Just take this as a reference.

      This feels like a fundamentals kind of rubber. It pairs really well with a control-friendly 5-ply blade.

      The Battle of Minoshima! Quirky ball

      Reviews by user

      This is a real ally for hobby players.

      It won't break the bank, and for anyone who wants a rubber that stays lively forever, this might just be the one-of-a-kind final destination.

      On top of that, it traces a distinctive trajectory that makes it hard for opponents to handle, so it should help you stand out from everyone else.

      Masato Tanaka 00 For beginners

      Reviews by user

      By today's standards, this is a rubber from the good old days.

      It's hard to say its spin and speed match the modern game, but there's a certain "feel on the ball" you just can't get anywhere else.

      It's the kind of feel that wraps around the ball and flings it out on a distinctive trajectory.

      If you want to play a different kind of table tennis than everyone else, this is well worth trying.

      Reaper (Experience: 2〜3 years) A safe, dependable blade

      Reviews by user

      It doesn't really have any particular weaknesses, and I used it happily all three years of junior high. It's easy to get spin on, and both pushes and topspin drives go in easily.
      On the other hand, that also means nothing about it really stands out, so I think players who already have a set playing style would find it a bit lacking.

      Masamune (Experience: 6〜10 years) For beginners

      Reviews by user

      As far as bounce and control go, this is squarely a beginner's rubber.
      That said, it produces a unique ball (compared to modern rubbers), so it might work against opponents who aren't used to it.
      For better or worse, it's a rubber from a bygone era!

      Tanaka 0569 Hit the sweet spot and...

      Reviews by user

      If you're a hard hitter and a penhold looper, you probably used to use this back in the day.

      These days table tennis is all about tension rubbers that do the work for you, but with a rubber like this where you generate your own spin and speed, you can create tricky shots that might actually help you win.
