    Sriver EL combines Sriver's top sheet with a medium-soft elastic sponge.
    This softer sponge allows you to generate more spin without using a power swing.

    • VEGA series the best! !

      VEGA series the best! ! (Experience: Less than a year) A stable rubber for beginners.

      The speed is on the slower side, but that gives you better control, so I'd recommend it for a beginner's backhand. Also, there weren't any techniques like blocks or pushes that were hard to do. I think it's good for beginners, but intermediate to advanced players will probably find it lacking. (This is just my personal opinion.)

      I used this on the forehand of my Swat.
      The control was really good.
      It's not that it has no speed
      but it's not that fast either
      It's suited for beginners

      It doesn't excel in one-shot power or spin, so it's not for people expecting a high-performance rubber, but for those who just want to consistently get the ball in, or want to build fundamentals, it's a perfect fit. Advanced players with a solid swing should use a different rubber!

      This is likely to be your first or second rubber when starting table tennis, but it actually hides quite a bit of potential.
      While still giving that classic Sriver arc, it also makes control and grip on the ball even easier, and lets penhold players gain the crucial "timing gap" between their own swing and their opponent's.

      Reviews by user

      I tried this on the B-side (backhand) to practice backhand strokes with my Chinese penhold.
      I wasn't expecting much, but honestly the consistency is amazing! It's not like it lets you smash through in one shot or generate crazy spin, but since switching to this I've been surprised at how few mistakes I make no matter what ball comes at me. It doesn't bounce much, but you can receive with just the right feel. It really has that perfect hardness — not too hard, not too soft — and the ball stays right on the table! You can enjoy keeping the rally going☆

      Scallops (Experience: Less than a year) A rubber you can master right from the start

      Reviews by user

      I've been using it for half a year now, and it's incredibly easy to use!!
      I use it as inverted rubber, but it works totally fine as short pips too

      Sriver has been made just the right amount softer, so the ball sinks into the sponge more easily and control is better.
      Speed isn't great, but I think it's perfect for people who play a connecting style on the backhand.
