    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.

      I chose this when upgrading from a beginner-level rubber.

      This rubber has a lot of bounce, so smashes and drives come out with real speed.

      That said, compared to other rubbers, spin feels a little harder to generate.

      I'd recommend this rubber for people who want more speed on their drives.

      This rubber produces a moderate, well-balanced amount of spin and speed.

      Because of that, I think it's an easy rubber for beginners to use.

      I have this glued on the reverse side of my penhold.

      First, reverse-side strokes are stable with it. It generates spin too.

      Small techniques like chiquita are surprisingly easy to pull off as well.

      Honestly, this rubber fits pretty much any style. Which means anyone can use it well. Definitely recommend it for beginners. It lasts a long time too.

      Of course, that doesn't mean it's bad for advanced players either,

      This is my favorite rubber by far.
      What I love about it is that the balance of spin, speed, and control is
      just incredibly good. You should really buy this lol
      Apparently it's been around and used for ages — even our coach uses it. It's strong.
      For a Chinese-style penhold setup, I'd recommend it for the reverse side (not that the pips side is bad).
      Backhand drives are stable with it too. If you play table tennis, you should really try this.

      Nice rubber. It's on the harder side, so it suits a hitting/blocking style well. I think it works for a wide range of levels, from beginners to advanced players.

      Decent spin, decent speed. But what really stands out is how easy it is to use. It's a great fit for beginners replacing their rubber for the first time.

      Great bounce and very fast speed. Great bounce. Control is a bit tricky, but it's a rubber suited for advanced players.

      A better rubber than I expected. The spin is good too, but the trajectory is a bit too flat, so it might depend a lot on the blade you pair it with.
