This rubber is recommended for beginners. It's well suited to learning all the basic techniques. Receives and blocks are easy and go in reliably. Once you've picked up a certain level of skill, I think it's good to try Fly Att or Factive. It's also recommended for anyone who wants a rubber that goes in consistently.

Hydrogen ion (Experience: 6〜10 years) Until processing was banned, I used this with glue or booster all through my school days

It's nostalgic remembering how putting on booster made the max-thickness version go over 4mm. That's how strong the booster effect is.
Just like the Mark V, it sells on name alone these days. It used to be 2940 yen, so who's even buying it now...
For a beginner, something like Vega Europe, or even Hamond, would still be a better choice.
As many people say it "doesn't grip the ball" - if your spin technique isn't developed yet, you won't get much spin out of this rubber without glue or booster, so it can work as a kind of benchmark for that.
If you use a full-body swing rather than a small, compact drive, you can bring out the best of the Sriver. Hit it well and you'll get the deep, sinking drive the Sriver is known for.
But away from the table, if you don't have much power the bounce isn't enough, so it's probably not suited to players who move around the whole court.
For a weak first-year junior high kid, I think the sponge on this rubber is still plenty hard.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Many people start table tennis in junior high, and I think this is a good rubber even for those beginners.
Speaking of the Sriver series, back in the glue era it was a powerful rubber, but now that spin-oriented tension rubbers are the mainstream, it counts as an easy-to-handle rubber with modest bounce.
That said, the plain Sriver is quite hard, so if a beginner is going to use it, I think the EL version is the safer choice.
If you pair it with a soft wood blade, using Sriver EL on both sides should be fine too.
Also, since it's cheaper than spin-oriented tension rubbers, I think it's a good rubber for when you're just starting out and money is tight.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Back in the day, beginners used to use this a lot (or were made to use it), but honestly, it's not that easy to use nowadays, right? (lol)
If anything, it's more of a quirky rubber that lets you produce balls that are hard for opponents to handle, thanks to the low trajectory and heavy ball quality.And yet it lets you return consistently over the table, so I think it's perfect for a technician type who wants to induce opponent errors.
Also, backhand chops are actually really easy to do with it! The bite is good, and you can produce knuckle balls too.
Reflex blocks are super slow with it, but surprisingly that ends up scoring points sometimes lolIt grips the ball well and you can even lift backspin balls, but the spin itself isn't great... lol
For some reason it just goes in so well. So you can swing through with confidence.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

For anyone who just started table tennis and wants to build fundamental skills,
I'd recommend this rubber.It's not especially outstanding in speed or spin,
but since it's a soft rubber, its control performance is
high.I think it's good to start with this rubber and then
step up from there.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft
