From manufacturer:

Speed	9.0 / 10
Spin	9.7 / 10
Control	9.5 / 10
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	No

From community:

Speed	5.7
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.4
Control	8.8
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	5.8 - Medium tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher.

Weight	2.0 - Light
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	0.6 - Soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	2.8 - Average

Reviews of the Friendship/729 FX EL Super Soft

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.

Very spinny & controlled, but really slow. Good for a up close control game for beginners.

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.

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.
