I'm a fairly close-to-the-table attacking looper from both sides. I don't speed glue. I've heard that Sriver FX is meant to be used with speed glue. If so, that leaves EL and standard.
Any recommendations?
Thanks! ------------- The Bookey | Santa Monica |

All Srivers are faster with speed glue. I suggest you glue during official tournaments. Best unglued sriver: For flat shots:1.Sriver EL, 2.Sriver FX ,3.Sriver For looping:1.Sriver ,2.Sriver FX , Sriver EL. Generaly speaking , Sriver FX needs glue more than the other two Srivers. ------------- InfinityVPS - D80 - D05 |

The rubber need to be sticked to your blade. What blade are you using ? ------------- Maze ST FH/BH : Palio Era 42.5 Max |

I stick with G2-FX, its pretty fast. Do you use a Jp, Cpen, or Shakehand?
If you're using Jp, then u probably want to use a sriver that doesnt have High tension ------------- Official XIOM Distributor of New Zealand & Australia |

EL too slow without glue on a typical OFF- blade. Sriver L much better as it has the basic speed required.
Of course if you don't have strong enough strokes to use Sriver L then EL will give you that bit of looping help and then you can graduate. ------------- Ian |

Normal Sriver L works better for me on a five ply wooden blade. I use EL on the backhand, since I need more leeway on my backhand. Avoid Max thickness. |

G2 FX should be the one that doesn't require speed glue - try it and compare it with the speed-glued FX, then you will be in a position to make a good decision.

Thanks for the initial feedback, everyone. To answer some questions: My grip is shake hands, my blade is Butterfly H.S. Cryzer (Off+, all Hinoki wood). I prefer a loop drive backhand more than a spinny loop, same for forehand.
