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

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

    ■ 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
    • Suitable for basic skill development before upgrading
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSufficient performance for beginners, encouraging practice to generate power through body movement. Easy control, good balance, and ideal for progression from beginner to intermediate level.

      I put it on the reverse side. Control and
      blocking are easy with it too
      I'd recommend it as a first rubber

      Reviewing the one I used as my first rubber
      Both the spin and speed are decent, if I'm honest, but since it doesn't fly on you, the consistency is outstanding!!!!!!!!

      tobimame (Experience: 4〜5 years) A niche rubber at this point

      Reviews by user

      It's a classic go-to for beginners, but nowadays something like andro's GTT is easier to use and cheaper too, and I think it would let a beginner build the form and feel suited to modern table tennis better.
      I felt the Sriver series is actually more of a niche-fit rubber - pairing it with an off-beat rubber or using it for chopping, that kind of thing. You could turn the fact that it's fairly affected by the opponent's spin to your advantage, using a receive that keeps some of that spin on it to induce mistakes. Also, if you like a soft feel on contact, you'll probably love it.

      ONE (Experience: 2〜3 years) Control is good, but...

      Reviews by user

      The control feels like THE classic beginner's rubber.
      No bounce to speak of, about the same as Nittaku's Japan Original.
      Don't expect much out of flat hitting.
      It does get spin, sure, but it just doesn't last long at all.
      It stops gripping the ball pretty quickly.
      I think it's fine as a first rubber, but for a second rubber I think you're better off with something else.
      Mark V or Vega Intro are the same price, so I'd recommend those instead.

      I'm using a hand-me-down SK7α, and drives are really easy to hit and chops are easy too, so it's easy to use overall.

      I think this is good for beginners as a second rubber.
      It gets good spin, and the control is good too.

      I'd recommend this rubber as a beginner's second rubber. It doesn't have much speed or spin, but it's easy to control.
