Comments: A great rubber, good when
used with fair chack, but lacks the speed that a rubber like bryce or bryce fx
provides. but very spinny and great for control.undoubtably one of the best
backhand rubbers there are.

Comments: This is very traditional
european type allround play rubber. Use not thicker than 2.0mm sponge, speed
glue with the OFF- blade. It will give your marvellous spin effect as long as
you keep the throtle on. Enjoy!

Comments: prior to buying a
brandnew sriver fx, i was under the illusion that it was the best rubber until i
played with it and realized how exasperatingly slow it is. To spoil it, i met a
lot other players who share my view of the rubber as very slow. Of course, a
beginner needs this rubber , NOT ME.I strongly advise _ beware of this rubber .
You can do better.

Comments: Good spin and control.
It's a great backhand rubber. It's not fast enough for the forehand though. But
it is still a very good rubber

Comments: I think, that it is the
best all/off rubber in the world! But you must combine it only with a little
harder blade(bty petr korbel off, primorac carbon off+, some classic stiga or
yasaka blade...). If you are a topspin offensive player you should to
try.....You never put this rubber down!!!

Comments: This rubber has got to be
one of the worst rubber you can buy. It lacks everything. SPIN, SPEED, and
control. Steer clear of this one. This was given to me by a friend, he didnt
like. I had it on for 2 weeks, after that I gave it to a beginner at the club.

Comments: this rubber is designed
to be used with speed glue! why don't you guys do without? anyway, good rubber
with speed and spin, thick spooge lacks a little bit control. so 2.0mm would be
nice for off- player.

Comments: I have FX on my backhand.
I like the soft sponge and the control it gives me. It is great for blocking and
hitting. I recommend to those that need something easier to control on the
backhand.

Comments: Ich play this rubber in
my backhand. I think this rubber is one of the best rubbers for the backhand.
When you want to play it in your forehand, it is an bit to low. Enough speed and
much spin.

Comments: Horribly slow,lacking in
control, possess alot of weaknesses. You cannot really attack well with this
rubber. Errors galore with this rubbers. So much effort required to hit the
ball.

Comments: I use this rubber on my
backhand. It provides me with lot of control, if glued it generates good speed.
Long dwell time.

Country: United States
Comments: I feel that the rubber is
made mainly to be used with speed glue. Without speed glue, the speed is slow
and spin is not great. BUT, with speed glue, this is where the rubber springs to
life with decent speed and OK spin with good control. Not a bad rubber but not
the best.

Comments: It's pretty good. I'm
using MAX sponge thickness. Mine has a good arc and I can get nice spinny loops
in, but it's hard to make really powerful attacking shots with this on my
forehand. I might use Sriver EL with MAX sponge thickness next time instead.

Comments: This rubber has been the
transverse step in my career as it displays extreem control alongside all the
caractoristics of a top class professional rubber. The only down side is that
the top sheet does wear out quite quickly and i found that i the more i played
the more glue i had to put on because it does not have the speed that a top
players needs, bryce fx is the next step for me!

Country: United Kingdom
Comments: This rubber is ideal as a
backhand rubber for the looping game, without speed glue for beginers or with
speed glue for players who are more advanced and play more often. I would'nt
recommend it for the forehand though because the sponge is too soft for power
hitting, this is where I would recommend Sriver EL with speed glue or Sriver L
if you don't use speed glue.

Comments: I used this rubber for
about a year and a half and it was great. although it can be a little to slow at
times. I find if you are an offencive player you shouldnt use this rubber, even
with speed glue it seems DEAD slow. Though a perfect rubber for the allround
player. Magna is FAR better!

Comments: Sriver FX is a slow
rubber if you dont speed glue; go for flextra if you want something as slow as
Sriver FX, at least then you would have reasonable spin

Country: USA
Comments: By itself, its not the
fastest, nor the spinniest. Speed glue is essential, as is a pretty fast blade
(OFF to OFF+). Otherwise, you might as well play with D-13. If you like the
control of a soft rubber, then adding it to a medium fast to fast blade is
perfect: Great combination of speed, spin, and control.

Comments: I tried it on backhand of
Stiga Offensive Classic with 3 layers of speed-glue. This is simply the best
backhand rubber you can ever expect. Very soft, grippy and yet bouncy. Best for
backhand top-spinning.

Comments: Simply the worst for me.
It's softness make me sick. I don't know why but I didn't find adequate power
with primorac carbon with 2 coat of glued sriver FX max! Does this rubber have a
special behavior for me?!!!

Comments: This is a great rubber.
as a kid I used it on backhand and forehand and was a great beginners rubber. I
now use it with speed glue on my forehand and has lots of spin and more than
enough power for me on my carbon blade. I wouldn't use it now without speed
glue.

Comments: I have Sriver FX on my
backhand. It gives me just the control I need, the speed I need, but not enough
spin. But, unless you play kamikaze, I think it is a good choice.

Name: chris
Country: england
Comments: not a bad rubber, but for
me it is a tad too slow as without a super fast blade and 4 layers of speed glue
it does nothing for me. for the same feeling but more speed i have moved to
yasaka's Xtend SG this is a soft rubber that has a lot more speed and spin than
sriver fx, the rubber doesn't compete against the new stuff on the market
