The Butterfly Sriver G3 is a well-regarded table tennis rubber that expertly balances speed, spin, and control, making it an ideal choice for all-round players. Rated highly with a speed of 13 and spin of 10, this rubber provides the punch needed for effective offensive play without sacrificing the precision required for control. The grippy topsheet ensures that players can generate significant spin on loops and serves, significantly improving their gameplay, especially in controlled offensive situations.
Tackiness is rated at a moderate 3, which gives the rubber adequate grip but may limit its effectiveness for performing short spin serves. However, players have pointed out that the Sriver G3 excels in executing powerful topspin shots at mid-range and close to the table. Weighing in at a medium weight of 4.4, it does not feel cumbersome, allowing for agile movements and quick adjustments during play. The sponge hardness rates at 5.1, offering a customizable feel that is neither too soft nor too hard, striking a nice balance for different styles of play.
Durability is commendable with a rating of 7.2, but some users note that the red side wears out faster than the black side, which might require more frequent replacements for avid players. As for alternatives, while some enthusiasts suggest looking into more modern tensors like Tenergy or Xiom rubbers for enhanced speed, the Sriver G3 remains a solid choice for traditionalists and those who value control and consistency in their game.
You can improve your topspin stroke. Try it, and you will not be disappointed.
I think this is a great backhand rubber. It doesn’t shine spinwise but has good speed and nice control.
The best overall rubber I’ve tried so far, I’ve been using it for three years as a replacement for Hurricane forehand. It is possibly the most balanced butterfly rubber ever. It has the speed of evolution mxp and the control of palio Thors.
I used this rubber for forehand on timoboll w7, 2.1mm sponge. It’s not very bouncy unlike tenergy, but it provides the spin and power when you commit to your shots. It performs equally well close and far from the table and is superior for topspin play.
It’s great for far table lobs, drives and counters. It’s also great for close table smashes and blocks due to reasonable hardness. You can put a lot of spin with this rubber on medium close table loops.
The only weakness is that it’s not so good for short spin serves due to sponge hardness and lack of tackiness. It retains the power of kawa sriver without the use of glue, making it suitable for offense players who seek extreme power. I recommend this rubber for all-round players of any level.
