Sriver EL (Butterfly)

Butterfly proudly introduces the newest member of the SRIVER family, SRIVER-EL (ELastic). The latest genre combines SRIVER's top sheet with a medium-soft elastic sponge that until recently had been specially selected only for our leading world ranked players. Do you prefer a hard or soft sponge? If you like a hard sponge, then you can choose the "normal" SRIVER. If you prefer a soft one, then SRIVER-FX is ideal for your play. But, if your requirement is in between the two (and this is where most of the top players are placed) then we recommend the new SRIVER-EL.

The butterfly sriver el is another great rubber in the sriver series.
It has good speed and enough control,It has a great feeling and control when playing touch shots,Blocking is very good with this rubber to. over the table spin is okay but not to much.Hitting is very good but may lack some speed. This rubber would fit a backhand best i think but it could also be used on the forehand, its a pretty alround rubber from butterfly just like most of the sriver family.

The last sriver classic rubber, and most balanced of the three regular srivers. Affordable price, fine durability, high speed glue effect, decent control.... I used it several years on my backhand with speed glue, it´s works much better glued.

The middle child of the Sriver family, you will see a good speed glue effect a la Sriver FX yet still retains some of the power of the big brother Sriver. Good for both players who don't glue and players who do reglue. Slight difference in speed and sound when glued, but not as different as the FX is when it is glued or unglued. Not as powerful as Sriver but I would say a tad bit more control but with good amount of speed in it. Very popular backhand rubber.
