External Review for Nittaku Factive on April 17, 2026

2mm version: 63g uncut.
////
TL;DR: safe choice for looping and all-round play
speed potential: medium, spin: high, control: medium

I chose this inverted rubber for my backhand in black for my close-to-the-table offensive setup. I put it on a fiberglass OFF blade.
The purple sponge goes very stylishly with a black topsheet :)
It is sensitive to incoming spin and is able to produce a lot of spin of its own. The sponge has medium hardness and quite a few gears. It is effective and easy to use for loops and punches. Banana and strawberry flicks are also learnable with it. I found pushing to be quite easy. Emergency chops are a viable option when you try to save the point after being out of position. Passive and active blocking is very much an option to use with this rubber as it has good control even against strong shots. It is excellent for serving thanks to the controllable speed and its good spin generation.

After more than half a year of twice-a-week usage, it lost some stickiness and spin but mostly kept its original performance.
