The Nittaku Factive uses specialized rubber to provide power to the player's strokes. The rubber combined with the mid-hard sponges allows for versatile play. Made in Germany.
I've been playing this rubber on my backhand for half a year now and can easily say it's the most controlled rubber for allround/off play I ever had the chance to play. It does everything really well, backspin, topspin, blocks. It's rather insensitive to incoming spin. The only drawback is that it lacks a bit of power when you're away from the table. When I played it on my forehand (just for fun and to check it out) I was really impressed by its ability to neutralize incoming topspin and I could almost shoot powerspins from every angle. It plays different and really grabs the ball - you'll understand what I mean when you play it.
amazing rubber for backhand. This is the perfect rubber for a block and control player. it generates plenty of spins but needs more power if you want to do a backhand topspin to cross the ball due to the softer sponge. Nice rubber to backhand and forehand for beginner and intermediate player who seeks control and spin with Japanese topsheet and sponge.
The ideal rubber for backhand side of shakehand grip. It mostly suited players who love brushing the ball more than hitting hard on the ball, also the consistency of blocking and looping the backspin is amazing, those make my game comfortable. In fact, it is not a hard rubber(45 degree) as manufacturer described.
