Nittaku Factive

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.

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.
