Customer review for Butterfly Sriver EL

External Review for Butterfly Sriver EL on April 9, 2011

Sriver EL is the "elastic" medium-sponge variant of the Butterfly Sriver family. This rubber is medium-hard and moderate in speed. I would rate it as the best out of the Sriver series for having more power if you swing harder than Sriver FX, and more versatile in its capabilities than the regular Sriver-L. In other words, it is the ultimate all-around rubber. The EL is an excellent choice for beginning to intermediate players, and will suit anyone looking for a classic rubber. The topsheet has a good amount of grip, yet has a high amount of control. It excels in the short game, as well as in the counterhit and blocking department. Looping is also do-able, although in this non speed-glue era, there are countless tensor, tuned, and spring sponge rubbers out there that outperform Sriver EL in this area. I would recommend this rubber for anyone!
looking for a classic, controllable rubber that can enhance and develop your game. However, if you are looking for a fast, tacky, or speed-glue replacement rubber. I advise you to look elsewhere because there are cheaper and more suitable alternatives in today's equipment market.
