    This softer sponge allows you to generate more spin without using a power swing.

    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent control and stability for beginners
    • Lacks speed and spin compared to advanced rubbers
    • No distinctive characteristics, easy to handle
    • Relatively short lifespan reported

      You can play really stable table tennis with this. It's easy to handle with no quirks. But on the flip side, there's nothing that stands out either, so I think it's perfect for learning technique.

      No matter how wildly you hit it, it won't go over the target. I used it when I first started, but I think it would feel inadequate if I used it now. It's great for learning the basics of hitting the ball.

      It doesn't have any particular quirks, so I'd really recommend it as a beginner's first rubber. I think the speed will start to feel lacking as you improve, and that's when it's a good idea to move on to a different rubber.

      Masato Tanaka 00 For beginners

      Reviews by user

      It's a well-balanced, softer rubber.

      That said, for today's table tennis it doesn't have quite enough bounce.

      So I think it's more of a beginner's rubber.

      It's really just a stepping stone — something to build the basics on before moving up.

      Reviews by user

      I used this a while back. After about 8 months I stopped being satisfied with its performance. I think the durability is a bit on the longer side. I'd highly recommend it to people just starting table tennis or coming back to it after a long break.

      Middle back drive (Experience: 6〜10 years) A well-balanced, high-bounce rubber

      Reviews by user

      It has very little quirkiness and is very soft, so it's easy to handle. The ceiling on speed and max spin is a bit low, but it was easy to get spin on the ball. I'd recommend it to people just starting table tennis or wanting to learn the basic techniques.

      Masamune (Experience: 6〜10 years) As your first rubber

      Reviews by user

      It's marketed as "high elasticity," but it really doesn't have much bounce at all.
      That said, it makes up for it with stability and a bit of its own "character."
      It's also been improved over the original Sriver — it's lighter and easier to get the ball to sink in.
      I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a rubber and style that's different from everyone else's!
