Reviews of the Friendship/729 FX EL Super Soft

Review ppgear said this on March 3, 2008:

I've only tried this without speed glue, but it's definitely slow with a very soft sponge.
Review MtBikerE said this on March 31, 2008:

Very spinny & controlled, but really slow. Good for a up close control game for beginners.
Review gekogark1212 said this on April 11, 2008:

Without glue or boosters, this rubber feels like that dodgy stuff that comes with the dumlop premades (bottom of the range too).

It may work for choppers, but for a serious attacker who aren't just playing for others' mistakes, you'd need something faster and spinnier.
Review hafawaz said this on May 8, 2008:

Good rubber for beginners. Super soft, and slightly tacky - not a very good rubber for an offensive player. At best it's an All- to All rubber.
Review Emil said this on October 12, 2010:

It good for blocking away from the table eithout sacrificing any power
Review deano597 said this on November 14, 2010:

i got it in 2.2mm it is good for chopping. but for all out attackers like myself it was crap. its not good for smashing at all. ok loops but they have no kick when they hit the table. i wouldnt reccomend this rubber for anyone
Review Giulio said this on December 5, 2010:

I have always used a friendship 1.5 for my backhand.
I used to have the "original". Now I use this "SuperSoft" and I would not change this rubber for anything else.
Once you are used to it, with this rubber you can do anything with excellent control, smash, loop, chop, block, good serves .
I am an attacking player!!!
Review jpen_player said this on May 14, 2011:

nice rubber for beginner.. good control, slow speed, good spin..
2.0 mm sponge is the good choice for this rubber..
Review zek said this on July 17, 2011:

Good backhand rubber. One with the most control I have tried. I've tried about close to 20 rubbers by now, mostly chinese and a few european and jap rubbers. It is slower than most rubbers but still has enough speed to finish the point. I'm using it on an off- blade. Spin is also very good. One of my favorites among the rubbers I've used.
Review bbogdanmircea said this on August 4, 2011:

This is very good and cheap.
The topspins don't have a great arc, but you can hit bery low balls with this rubber and they will still hit the table.
Very good feel also for blocking game and returning serves.
When you hit a good one it will make a plich!!! sound.
It is also very light.
Very good rubber over all and the price is also amazing.
I use it with water glue so no speed glue but still I'm happy with it.
Doesn't seem to be very good for an away from the table topspin game because it has a lack of speed.
Review jakagledek said this on August 12, 2011:

Very good backhand rubber for an ALL player.
Review Anonymous said this on November 27, 2011:

tried this on a fast OFF + carbon blade. control is good and speed is fast when you hit fast. how ever it lacks spin -unlike BTY or DHS. price is Good for developing players. good for developing strokes before upgrading to spinier rubbers.
Review Ardi Ahmadi said this on February 15, 2012:

I've tried this rubber on Donic Waldner Black Devil. Black Devil definitely very hard controlled blade with almost zero dwell time. So if you make combination with this rubber (2.0 or 1.8) with very hard blade, it will become perfect combination (we have more controll on stroke). No matter with arc, if you can feel the ball then it will become easy to touch the table.
Review ilmiamin said this on April 19, 2012:

slow rubber
Review wmage said this on June 5, 2012:

Why all people say that this rubber is light and soft? I take it at 2.0 and max, all are heavy and hardness is medium. Rubber have 35 degrees mark, but it's not soft! May be in 1.5 mm it has different characteristics.
Update: 2mm red = 41gr cut weight, 2mm black = 47 gr!! It's not wrong, it's true! Very big difference, because rubbers were purchased from one magazine at one time.
Good with Stiga Off Classic.
Review prent73 said this on November 11, 2012:

In combination wth a fast carbon blade this rubber demonstrates its real potential! Very annoying topspin trajectory for the opponent! The ball literally dives after the bounce!
I really like it!
Review cookierobber said this on November 25, 2012:

I am currently using the black version of this rubber on the FH and am about to replace it as I have simply worn it out. I play at a club 3 hrs a day and it lasted for about 6 months, although there is still a little zip left on my shots.

I suggest this rubber be used for all-around game as it is very good for CONTROLLED LOOPS, although it loses some of its performance after a month of constant playing. It's also great for an amateur as it doesn't require much drilling to get used to.

Although, I didn't particularly like it as I play an offensive game and it didn't help with making my quick close-to-the-table-attacks faster.

All-in-all, you should expect a stable, grippy and soft rubber if you happen to buy one.
