This is a very, very good rubber if you are a beginner and do not have consistency in form, during basic strokes (FH & BH loops, drives, and chops). It is not as expensive as higher-end rubbers (like the Tenergy rubbers) but it is a pretty good rubber for a controlled game. Pair this with the Butterfly Primorac paddle and you have one of the best quality beginner setups you can buy.

External Review on April 1, 2010
A rubber introduced in 1967 and still well liked. Sriver is a classic allround offensive rubber that blocks too. It has decent spin and speed with good control for beginners to advanced players. Sriver forces you to put effort to execute strokes correctly to unleash its power. A decisive forehand rubber. Great value for money rubber that is durable.
External Review on February 26, 2010
A classic that everyone can play with from beginner to professional. Very durable. Today there is lots of faster alternatives. But this is a real do-it-all rubber. Fantastic!

i like it as an all around rubber i think it is faster but a little less control than mark v
External Review on January 5, 2010
After having played with Flextra, I moved on with Sriver on my backhand. I love the rubber 10 years after I started playing with it. It lasted a long time and became one of my favorites. It is very consistent at every aspect, spin, speed and control. It is a perfect rubber for the intermediate player wanting to move up through the ranks.

If you're a beginner and are moving up to the intermediate level don't hesitate, this rubber is very forgiving and will help you continue your growth. Even though the difference was slightly noticeable when moving away from Flextra, the transition was very smooth. A classic!

tenergy is much more powerful and spinny. you should think about changing to tenergy unless you are a beginner. sriver is a great rubber for beginners.
External Review on October 19, 2009
A very good rubber for everything you want to do. It is especially good for beginners who are learning new strokes and strategies. Literally does everything you can think of except for chopping. Also a great value for your money. It lasts FOREVER!!
External Review on September 6, 2009
Butterfly's best selling rubber worldwide. Fast with control. Very balanced top sheet that reacts well to spin. This rubber shines in countering and offers good ball feedback due to the 38deg. sponge. Not the fastest or spinniest by Butterfly but the most balanced for allround-offense. Great for all levels of players. Very easy to change the speed and spin so has many gears. An all time great rubber.
External Review on August 24, 2009
Sriver shares the spotlight with Mark V as being the worlds best selling rubber. Fast, good control, best suited for allround-offense game. Quick counters are great with Sriver. Less affected by your opponents spin due to it's balanced topsheet. Medium hard sponge of 38 deg. For loopers Sriver EL or Sriver FX. Not the fastest or spinniest rubber but still a great choice for a wide range of players from beginner to pro.

i've played with sriver for many months now i got the rubber from tees sport at the start of the northumberland summer league and is still in great condition i currently use this on my f/h with 1.9 mm thickness and it is FANTASTIC i play as a allround player and it is great drives,chops,pushes,serves,smashes and much much more i would suggest this rubber to an allround attacking player. the only thing is though it is not very fast thats why i've bought sriver g2 fx.

I have found a Sriver rubber on one of my old paddles from 20 years ago and it still plays well. Not exactly ideal for my lop and attack game but it may be good for backhand side on my backup paddle. I tested the Tenergy 25 this week. Its a good rubber but way overpriced. I am looking for an alternative.

Good for beginners or mid level. Not for all out looping and attack, too much muscle work. It lasts for ever I have a 20 year old rubber Sriver D13-L Tomasu CO. Tokio and it still spins the ball.

This is probably one of the better rubbers for beginners. It's not too fast and very controllable. It is a good price too. It lasts pretty long and it certainly worth it for any player who wants to get serious and upgrade from those crappy recreational paddles.
External Review on March 12, 2009
I feel that this rubber is better for countering when unglued/ untuned. A very linear rubber, the amount of speed and spin is proportional to how much you put in. Sponge is medium; low 40's high 30's. Topsheet is non-tacky and has a medium hardness You can loop with it but it takes more effort than say a sheet of Mark V. I've had a sheet on my backhand since January and it still looks good.

it gets really dusty really fast. The top sheet deterioration is killing me!
External Review on March 4, 2009
Very very good rubber. Probably my favorite next to Mark V. My primary blade has Mark V on both sides, but I have Sriver on the backhand side of my back-up blade (which is the same: Boll TriCarbon). Sriver is very very similar to Mark V in most aspects: decent speed, controllable spin, many many gears, and incredible control. On the other hand there are subtle but noticeable differences between the two rubbers. In comparison, Sriver is slightly less tacky. I'm talking about new sheets (with a bit of wear down, they are almost identical in this aspect). Sriver has a very slightly harder topsheet with a comparably soft sponge to Mark V. The one thing that I find Sriver excels Mark V in is its durability. I have a friend that used Sriver waaaaay before I did, and that thing just barely seemed to wear down at all. All in all, I can see why Sriver is the most popular rubber out there. The only thing was, I think the top sheet is just ever so slightly too hard. Mark V seemed to be perfect for me, so maybe I'm just biased LOL

The sriver is a very good and long lasting rubber, when you decide to choose this rubber you can not make any mistake, its alround and when yo usay alround its means that is capable of doing the most important thing with sufficient control.
it is good for blocking, good for hitting and good enough for spinning, every sheet of sriver is good quality, There are faster,spinnier and better control rubbers but sriver wil always be a good choise for anyone
External Review on October 30, 2008
In today's market, Sriver may not be the fastest or spinniest rubber, but may be the most versatile. Great, long lasting, and nowadays "cheap" Japanese rubber, that can do it all. This is the reference by which other rubbers are judged.
External Review on October 29, 2008
I'm using Sriver w/ ~2.1 mm Kawatsuki sponge. Ideal for blocking, hitting, counter drives & pushes. Spin is quite ok. The best thing in my opinion is the excellent durability and the low price.
External Review on October 1, 2008
This is Butterflys best known rubber. It is a very balanced rubber. It has very decent spin, throw, speed, sound, control, etc. etc. The rubber is meant to be speed glued, but with the current glue ban, many players also use it still with just some VOC free glue, and it seems to perform much better than other speed gluing rubbers. This is a great rubber for any loop attack player. It produces great speed and spin, without sacrificing control. The best thing is, its only 30$ at its regular price!
External Review on September 24, 2008
one of the all-time greats, along with the MarkV. fantastic all-rounder and even today, is a great rubber.

I tried a paddle with an old (and I mean old) Butterfly D13-soft, and a modern Sriver. the sponges are different (because the old style was banned I believe), but the play was still exactly the same.

great rubber. it'll never let you down.
External Review on September 21, 2008
Probably the most well-known rubber of the world. It was one of my first rubbers, so I keep good reminds of it. It´s the allround rubber by excellence, but suits also for a controlled offensive style (thicker sponges 2.1 to MAX) and even mixed-(1.9 to 1.3mm).

Another good point is that also works decently without speed glue. It doesn´t stand out in any aspect, but its really well balanced in all senses. It´ pretty durable, and affordable, few rubbers of a proved quality are under the 30$, however I must to recognize that nowadays has been clearly improved by many other rubbers.
External Review on September 20, 2008
Classic rubber from Butterfly, This was the first rubber that i ever used after premades. Medium hard sponge inverted rubber, this rubber can do it all. Loop, smash, block, serve, flip with control. It's not very fast, but it's fast enough that many advance players still use it. When speedglued, it becomes a monster. Most of the ratings I gave this rubber were for unglued Sriver.

This rubber is very durable and can last up to several years with good care. At $30 a piece, this is a great rubber for beginners to intermediate players.
External Review on July 17, 2008
On the Butterfly website you can read that Sriver is a classic rubber with all the gears to play the modern attacking game. They're not lying. This is a Japanese rubber at its finest. Play unglued its fantastic, played glued its even more fantastic. Looking for a good balance of power, spin, control? Sriver is perfect for you. The bigger brother of the Sriver family of EL and FX, the harder sponge will generate a little more power and offer better touch short game. The medium-hard sponge still allows for good glue effect as well. This one's a keeper.
External Review on June 26, 2008
Great rubber to learn with and great rubber to keep playing with. You can glue or choose not to glue, this rubber has all the gears needed for the attacking player.
External Review on May 31, 2008
fresh-glue-rubber, but you can play it, without it, too
External Review on May 25, 2008
This is a very good rubber for the looping game. It produces a lot of spin and speed with speed glue but without speed glue it's nothing special. With Sriver using speed glue you can play with power and spin with a good control.
