    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.

      I bought this as my first rubber.
      It gives good speed and good spin,
      so it's perfect for learning technique.

      Since it's a rubber that's been around forever, I decided to try it out. I put it on the reverse side of a flip rubber, and since the other side was Tenergy 05, when I tried hitting with that same feel it barely flew at all, which surprised me. But when I hit with the reverse side, it grabbed the ball well and was easy to use, so I think it's the right rubber for the reverse side.

      I used this when transitioning away from a glued-on racket. Since the speed and spin are basically a leftover from the glue era, they're pretty modest compared to tension rubbers. But because it's high-elasticity, the bounce is just right for beginners learning the basics, and it's easy to control. Since you're not at the mercy of the rubber's performance, it's a great rubber for beginners to develop their own style. That said, I found it a bit hard, so personally I'd recommend Mark V for beginners instead.

      That's nice! (Experience: 2〜3 years) Great as your first sheet

      Reviews by user

      This rubber gave me the impression of having really high control. It's more of a speed rubber than a spin one.
      ●Serve
      Easy to control things like long and short, but the spin is lacking
      ●Push, stop
      Easy to control, very good
      ●Other short game techniques
      Easy to do, but spin and speed are lacking
      ●Block
      It's stable, so that's good!
      ●Smash
      Stable, and gives decent power
      ●Topspin drive
      Stable, but speed and spin are lacking
      I think this rubber is perfect as a first rubber. It's ideal for anyone who wants to learn a variety of techniques from here on.

      When I use it on one side with a penhold, I end up receiving every ball, so this level of consistency suits it amazingly well.

      Reviews by user

      I've been playing table tennis for 2 years and I still have this on my B-side (backhand). It's easy to control, but it's a bit hard to put spin on, and my impression is that it doesn't produce much speed. Still, it's incredibly easy to control, so it's easy for beginners to use.

      It's called a beginner's rubber these days, but I think it works plenty well for intermediate players too. In my case, tension rubber flew too much and didn't suit me, and then when I switched to tacky rubber, it didn't fly enough and that didn't suit me either, so I decided to try a high-elasticity rubber for once. First I tried the Original Extra, but something felt off, and it wore out too fast. I also tried the Sriver FX and Sriver EL, but my serves just didn't work well, which was disappointing — but when I tried Sriver itself, I felt like the ball landed reasonably well and got a reasonable amount of spin.
      In terms of balance, this rubber is the strongest there is. But I think that comes precisely from it having no strong individual character.
