best rubber ever!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing rubber but I'm slightly disappointed by the speed. It could be a bit faster but I guess if it had a bit more speed it would lose its amazing control.

its awsesome for topspins wiyh a very friction filled topsheet
bit dissapointed by the speed but great control

Sriver G3 is good offensive rubber that offers much more spin than Sriver. Feels a bit softer than Sriver and not as decisive when hitting hard. A very good blocking rubber. Seems to be more affected by backspin than Sriver when looping. G3 is more fragile and expensive.

Like the other reviewers, I feel Sriver G3 has many good qualities. I use the G3 on my backhand, in combination with T05 (forehand) and a TBS blade. Both have sponge thickness of 2.1.

A few observations first:

1. The topsheet is very grippy. This is perhaps due to the "tension technology" but my first impression of the topsheet is that it's quite grippy - definitely more grippy then any of the other Sriver family I've played with;

2. The sponge is hard, but not that hard. That is, it probably lies in between Sriver EL and Sriver L, but more towards Sriver L

3. Unlike the Tenergy class of rubbers, the sponge is not porous and hence not a spring sponge. It is more like a classical sponge (so no catapult affect).

What does all this mean?

Compared to any of the classic Sriver (Sriver L, EL, FX) rubbers, it is definitely spinnier. I feel this is due to the grippier top sheet more than anything else. Serves, chops and loops have much more bite, but you don't sacrifice any control. I found control on this rubber outrageous, and blocks and service returns are a breeze. Making loops and drives was easy, and did not require much technique alteration (I used to play with an EL but found it too slow and not so spinny).

If I were to compare it to T05 and T64 (I have not played with T25), it is much better for smashing / hitting, and controlled aggression. G3 is not as spinny or as fast as either Tenergy, but outdoes them for control. Like a review on mytabletennis.net, I think it's like a toned down version of T05, with exceptional control.

All in all, I think it's a great rubber for controlled attacking. It's a level above the existing Sriver family, but below any of the Tenergy's regarding spin and speed. I use it on my backhand to not only set up play, but also attack and finish more points. Well worth the money.

best rubber ever
one of the rubbers you can trust while playing
it doesnt let you down in speed control or spin

This is wat i expect from sriver it has amazing control, very useful for containing players during a match, u can play close to mid distance for this rubber but it lacks power wen ur long distance.

too slow

This rubber is not powerful at all. Although this rubber was rated with similar power to tenergy it is not even close. It has good spin, but the one thing that shines with this rubber is control. On my blade it feels like you're hitting the sweet spot on all areas of the blade, ITS GREAT! It's pretty fun to play with for me, because I haven't experienced this much power and spin on a rubber with so much control. Although, this is not for you if you're looking for an aggressive, speed oriented rubber.

Good rubber, very fast speed and spinny when you loop. Should pair with soft to midium soft blade in order to achieve control. Easy to serve with, and as well as receiving. Unbelievable power when I hit it hard but still good for blocking. It is a fast all rounded rubber with a lower then average throw angle.

Great forehand rubber. Medium to medium-low throw. Ball stays fairly low across the net and produces a conservative and reliable arc when looping. Hit is flat shots are easy as well. Reliable as it is very consistent and you get out of it what you put in. Very grippy thus it generates very good spin. Speed is as fast as you could expect without sacrificing control. Very good short game as well. Pushing is excellent and so are flips. Serves are spinny too. Blocks are accurate and consistent. Overall and excellent rubber.

Playing it at f/h in 2.1mm, black color.

Amazing rubber. Faster than classic sriver but not as fast as modern tensors. I think this isn't a downside. Many modern rubbers are too fast and uncontrollable for my skills. Sriver G3 is a perfekt balance between classic and modern sge rubbers. Nonetheless the G3 is a powerful rubber with good control.

Very grippy topsheet. Loops and serves are very spinny with a lot of control. Blocks, hits and smashes are precise and stable. Short game is good. The hardness I would classify as medium +.

Sriver G3 is an excellent rubber for controlled offensive play who can do it all without weaknesses.

Por el precio me parece que hay mejores gomas en el mercado, no es mala pero no ofrece las ventjas que si ofrece lo nuevo en el mercado, incomparable con gomas como la Tenergy o las Xiom Omega y Vega o con las Boost, en realidad pareciese que su juegto ³ptimo ser­a con pegamento especial (al igual que su antecesora Sriver FX) , en fin lenta y con poco Spin.

After trying a number of faster/tensor rubbers and also normal Sriver again, I find this is a very good compromise. To me it feels how a rubber should feel, nothing exceptional but a reliable tool, especially for lower class players like me. No weaknesses so far, very good at spin variation with some more speed than Sriver.
To me a rubber is good if I do not have to be concerned about its behavior, just play, and I get this from this one.
