Customer review for Butterfly Sriver FX

External Review for Butterfly Sriver FX on January 14, 2010

Sriver FX is a soft control rubber with the ultimate speed glue effect. It has a soft sponge and takes the glue well, the result is a fantastic all around rubber great even for offense.

When speed glue was banned, FX took a huge blow in the sense it was nerfed quite badly. It lost pretty much all of its speed, in my opinion making it quite a slow rubber although putting it on a very fast blade may ease this a bit.

Sriver FX is magnificent for blocking, chopping, smashing, serving and counter looping were a breeze for me when I played this rubber on my backhand.

I would recommend Sriver FX to a beginner for the backhand since intermediate and above players will not like the fact that its slow. It also is easy to control and helps develop strokes. Its a forgiving rubber that does nicely on any blade for me.

Value for money is totally worth it since its cheap - half to less than half the price of Bryce(s) and Tenergy(s) and its very durable and won't require much maintenance. Mine is about 3 years old, and still in pretty good shape.
