About Sriver EL
Sriver EL uses classic (non-tensor) sponge with longer dwell and a more linear feel and a grippy, non-tacky topsheet typical of European tensors. Manufacturer sponge hardness is 35° (Classic); a cut sheet is about 42 g. Factory sponge thicknesses: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. Sold with topsheet in Black and Red; sponge in salmon. Sriver is Butterfly's classic Japanese inverted rubber, the long-running non-tensor reference sheet.
On the TableTennisReview 0–100 index the Combined figures are speed 74, spin 78 and control 92 (official mapping 73 / 77 / 91). That is a control-first inverted profile for balanced allround play. Hardness, weight and thickness above are factory facts — not lab tests.
Community score 8.5 / 10 from 640 reviews. Indicative European street price €28. Compare Sriver EL with other Butterfly Sriver and inverted rubbers on the same scale, or open the catalogue filters for ALL inverted sheets.

Factory thicknesses
Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.
- 1.8
- 1.9
- 2.0
- 2.1
- MAX
- 1.8
- Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
- 1.9
- The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
- 2.0
- Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
- 2.1
- Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
- MAX
- Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
